Not had a bet on the horses this past week or so, just waiting for the jumps to get back now.

For Bill - 17:25 Listowell - Should take all the beating in this one, price around evens.

Tomorrows racing does not inspire me at all. Best to go out and get leathered tonight.

Taken Hudds with 16 tonight.

Newbury 15:40 - Deacon Blues 2/1

Dropped in trip and coming back from a bad scope but if its on form these won't get near it, its run to 123 is well clear of anything these have done so far.

Ayr 16:30 - Poet @ 15/8

Loves soft ground and to run from the front so this small field should suit it perfect.

Poet and Deacon Blues double pays just under 7/1.

That will do.

oh dear..not seen the giants play for the last 3/4 months???

SIMPLE JIM.4.55.catterick 4/1

Had an acca of Bolton, Reading, Sheff Utd and Crawley.

Even if the latter three score ten second half goals each, won't matter as I will eat as many hats as possible if ten-man Bolton score more than Norwich.

Why didn't I back Poet this morning... texted my mate and told him it woulda been my only horse of the day. Still, only had a fiver on the football so wouldn't of got rich backing a 5/4 shot.

For the first time ever I've backed Hull FC at the bookies today!

Backed them, us and Hull City all to win. Long shot but you never know. City are 25-30 minutes away from a 1-0 victory so that would be a good start.

Decent
