I am very much looking forward to 1.25 Fairyhouse Drumlee's hurdling debut. I backed him for the Cheltenham Bumper but he injured himself that day so put a line through that. Thought the form he showed when landing a big gamble on debut for Sean McParlan (now with Charlie Swan) was up there with the best going into Cheltenham with and he could be a serious, serious prospect.

Any ideas what price it'll peak at? 9/4 on betfair at the moment.

Not a clue to be honest. Tissue was horribly wrong for the race anyway. Had Harrington's favourite at 7/2 and Drumlee 9/2 but both will be much shorter.

Harringtons entered in Grade 3 next week so they think a fair bit of him.Nott 2pm Mountain Fighter 3/1.Stable have a massive strike rate at the course and its their only runner.This son of Dubawi will love any give in the ground.

Think Man Of Steel is a bit over priced in the maiden hurdle at Chepstow at 16/1.

Irish raider smashed off the board at Kempton
By Paul Eacott 12:29PM 6 NOV 2013

TRAINER Emmet Butterly had success with his British raiders throughout the winter of 2010/11 and the horse he sends to Kempton for their twilight meeting has been backed off the boards to overcome a long absence.

Echua has not been seen in action for 1194 days but punters are not worried that lengthy absence will be a problem when he makes his debut for the trainer in the 6.30.

Martin Harley's mount was put in at double figure prices this morning but is now favourite for the race at as short as 11-4.

I like the look of Merlins Wish 3.50 Chepstow. I might also have a few quid on Jeanry e/w in the 3.15 and also Vincettii in the 3.40 Nottingham.

3rd will do.

That Giantofaman is the biggest pig going. Doesn't want to win a race.

If anyone backs the whore ever again they need to see a specialist.

AP McCoy on Minella for Steak 14.40 Chepstow, going to have a small flutter at 11/2

Didn't see the race, Rossom. Was he just very poor or lacking fitness in your opinion?

Only just after seeing it myself and I don't have a clue! Noble Call shot miles clear of the field and as a result the camera only showed very small images of the horses in behind.

He was waited with in the rear of the field and although its hard to tell he seemed to jump fine. In a race where nothing got into it from behind, he travelled well up until about 4 and looked like he was still moving well before dropping like a stone after that. Fitness may have been an issue (was markedly weak in the market) and he definitely wasn't given a hard time of things.

Regardless of whether he needed the run or not it was definitely disappointing. Whether or not he still is potentially a very good novice I'm not sure but I'd be willing to give him another chance at what will be much bigger odds next time.

If anyone has any opinions regarding Drumlee feel free to share as I found it hard to see him watching on a small screen tonight.

After timing alert
Fergal O 'Brien is some crafty whooooer!
I've been keeping an eye on his horses lately and his plotting..
Rockchasebullet was 25-1 last night based on one poor chase run..thrown into handicap off a ridiculously low weight based on his point form.
Bit the bullet and stuck a small stake on..busy all day in work then checked result couldn't believe he won at 17/2.
Id nearly put all his horses in my tracker and watch all the ones running flats in their maidens and novices waiting for the big handicap day

The runner ups jockey should be hung, did you see him drop the hands and take a pull about 50 yards from the line. Good to see the Stewards doing a bang up job.

I'll be talking to the head stable lad from Swan's on Saturday evening Rossom and I'll see what I can get from him and hopefully what the future plans are for the horse.

Thanks very much. Would be great to know.

I hate that the filly trades 6/4 in the run and comes nowhere

Drumlee will be winning a handicap around Christmas
