Bad ride (went too soon) and I think Sam TD realised it. I was standing by the rail as he was coming in, have never seen a jockey look as sickened

He was interviewed afterwards and said he had no doubt he was at fault for not winning. Said he kicked on too early.

First game back after 3 months out. Safe to say i was a yard or two off the pace, but came through unscathed !!

Just looking at the hennessy field,looks like very average fare. The interesting one for me is katenko. Form tailed off a bit in the second half of last season,but this horse beat some good horses earlier.

Horrible day out, time for a pint.

Thanks man but I played my first game of ball there in 5 years about a month ago, spent so much time on the ground I could have been sunbathing.

Almost every time I went to excelerate past a man I ran into a borrow and went skidding on my knees.

Tidal Bay and Imperial Commander!!

Shame on you.

There must be more runners than that?

We're always on the lookout for a goalkeeper.

I personally think imperial commander is finished and with tidal bay is obviously top class on his day but too much of the time you never know what you are going to get with this horse. I think katenko could be progressive in what is not really the best renewal.

Depending on the weights I think Imperial Commander could be very interesting, especially with Paddy back on board, sure he is 12 but he is lightly raced and NTD ain't bad at plotting older horses and I am not sure if he has tried it with a horse of ICs quality. He could be running off a mark of 155 so he is bound to be running off around 11 stone.

I thought his Argento run last year was mightily impressive for a first run after 2 years off on bottomless ground given he was around the middle of the track all the way around and he was clearly a tired horse at the end.

Tidal Bay is more than capable of landing it and Highland Lodge could be interesting at a nice price.

Threw just a fiver each way on Baily Dusk at Punchestown in the wide open 3 mile handicap chase. Was good enough to win a maiden hurdle two years ago and whilst he has been bitterly disappointing since, he has hinted on occasions that a big run could be in him. Runs off 86 with a good three pound claimer hopefully he can show some improvement today. Hopefully the well handicapped Westlife doesn't show up at a price

To say I'm absolutely sick is an understatement. Thought he'd win at a price and backed him the last twice. I abandon him today and he wins at 25s

Or 22/1 toto place or 140 to win on BF. I have a sick feeling in my stomach
