    Think Secret Witness looks well in for the 8:15. A total cliffhorse - but has shown real signs of life at this level.

    Please excuse my ignorance, but what does that mean? By the way, I'm on Fowler, Matsuyama and Thomas.

    Any % over 100 is the bookies' profit margin - they usually take approximately 2% per runner, so the book would normally be about 125% on a 12-runner race. In The Masters, the Betfair over-round is 105% on an 89-runner race, thus 0.056% per runner. That is a VERY punter-friendly book!

    As I recall, the bookies' SP book on The Grand National last year (40-runners) was 165%.

    That D.I.D ad with the singing dishwasher is possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. I honestly feel for the woman in it is she that stuck for a few quid that she'd do that

    Indeed, and only 19 of those managed to see the actual finish line.

    And the "sale" price will still be €100 more expensive than Power City
