1.30 - Stage Star e/w at the prices 2.10 - L'Homme Presse win, Capodanno place 2.50 - *gestures vaguely* but I like Ganapathi (Mullins likes this race); Indigo Breeze; and Tronador at the prices 3.30 - Shishkin. Funambule Sivola for a place 4.10 - Delta Work in the weather conditions. Get on before he gets even shorter. Diesel D'Allier great EW shout given he's a C&D specialist 4.50 - Embittered and Sky Pirate 5.30 - American Mike over Facile Vega; I think even at 20s Joyeux Machin is overpriced - EW shout
Diesel D'Allier 4th with some bookies; DW winning.
Fwiw got a couple of tips from someone earlier... First one just placed at huntingdon at 25/1 (backed it on the nose like an idiot), but the same guy reckons Authorised Speed could nick a place in the next at Cheltenham at a big price

It's been a decent day in ways I didn't expect!
Nice work @PaddyP17 - some great e/w calls aswell as the winners.
All courses are heavy, Would be a bit embarrassing for Cheltenham if this rain continues and they end up having to abandon tomorrow!
Now having to doll off ground that has puddles and false ground
Jon Pullin's first, and perhaps last, Cheltenham!
Have sympathy with Nicholls' barely-concealed anger and personally I was seeing forecasts yesterday that would have deterred me from turning the sprinklers on but they were very quick times yesterday and there was at least 1 fatality. If there were forecasts suggesting they might stay dry today I don't think he had a choice. It was sod's law today and I tend to agree with Henderson that the sheer volume of rain meant that it would have been heavy anyway. Give the guy a chance to learn from experience.
Watching live on Bet365 and a few mins ago interviewing Mullins he said the ground will bring Madmansgate into consideration. Within 2 mins it had gone from 28s to 18, 14, 12 ,11 and now 10s.

Agreed, a very difficult decision re the watering, especially given the quick times. They have numerous, very accurate weather forecasts available to them, it appears they underestimated the sheer volume of rain. Jon Pullin is vastly experienced, having spent most of his life in racing, he will get it right I’m sure.

Bollocks... 4 places, finished 5th. Went off at 140/1 the exchange and 80 with paddy
Henderson's geegees as a rule just HATE rain and mud .. decent first day for him, rubbish second day .. better forecast for today, Thursday, going will still be softish though .. let's hope the track has not been artificially watered
1.30 - Bob Olinger but prob no bet 2.10 - Ballyandy a huge e/w shout in my opinion. Love that horse and he's loved the step up in trip this year. Sire du Berlais to win (fav for good reason) 2.50 - Allaho but no bet 3.30 - Thyme Hill after he got squeezed when going well in the AB. Think McCoy was gunning for Champ. Royal Kalaha not a bad call either. Prob not one I'll poke at e/w 4.10 - Grand Paradis e/w (bit thin but yeah, rather profit), little bit on Chinwag at long odds 4.50 - was on Brandy Love but obviously no longer. Bit crap how it's unfolding. I'll have Say Goodbye e/w, maybe Love Envoi too as best of the British 5.30 - Frontal Assault (win, but at 7s I'll go e/w); I'll also have Chambard e/w at the prices

Do you still do your tipping page?
No; I've just not got the time to study it as much these days which is a shame!
