Had a tip for Penhill in the 1530. Won at the track before. In form. Underexposed. Whatever that means.
What a shout! Would never have called that given how long a break he had.
Very strong tip from the trainer. Well pleased with the 12/1, especially as I was on Glencoe, beaten after messing up the last. But my Irish builder has disappeared, and I probably won't see him unil next week, as I think he went in big on Penhill as did his whole family.
I have taken a chance on The Young Master here. A stone lighter than his previous ventures here and a wind op recently might give the horse a squeak. "Might" being the word.

Finished a staying on 6th having been 12th jumping the last I believe. Promising for a few other marathon races but number 82 in the GN.
Joined the BAND OF BLOOD brothers (and sisters maybe) for the Kim Muir today and, alongside FINAL NUDGE, I'm adding a 3rd (small) interest in the form of a shilling each way on the outsider ACTINPIECES 33/1 - tough 7y-o mare, will love the ground, up in the weights but fairly-treated relative to the more fancied Aubusson and Band Of Blood, ridden by last year's winning jockette Gina Andrews.

Following the Master....
Once again the Master does it...
You're too kind Len - glad you went 5 places. About time "the Master" picked a bloody winner. A nice run and a good enough prep for Final Nudge though.
If it's any consolation to you all, we did one of our bollox yesterday and after today the other one is hanging by a thread!!
The surviving (just) one was ripped off with ease today and crowds then starting jumping up and down on them. The entire Trading department were walking around in a daze and speaking in high pitched voices.
Paddy Power going 3/1 Stormy Ireland, without Apple's Shakira or 9/4 without Apple's Shakira and Redicean. Could be worth considering if you're not confident of her winning.
Comments
She's an unknown quantity at this level but has done well in lower classes. If she can step up then my little each way bet will be money well spent.
Oh and Johnson is meant to be riding her which might be a plus.
And Bob - you're smashing it!!!
Pleased that a few of you followed me when I put it up a couple of months ago. Even Peanuts I believe took a risk on sprint distance ;-)
Edit: Just checked back and I think it was Stormy Ireland rather than Laurina that Peanuts had a flutter on.
But my Irish builder has disappeared, and I probably won't see him unil next week, as I think he went in big on Penhill as did his whole family.
Regrettably Laurina was not carrying my shilling ....but I am responsible for Bacardys letting down your team in the stayers
A place for any of the 3 chosen in the last should put me into profit.
With Samcro at 10/1 and Laurina at 14/1 I'm relaxed about the EW on Barcardys ;-)
Should quit while I'm ahead. Probably won't though.

I can’t comment. All on the final day (I hope)
Onwards and upwards!
Seen him down there a few times with Michael Vaughn and his former manager Chubby Chandler.
