Just the one today - Lukey Luke 8/1 1:55 @ Carlisle

Front Of House 3/1 Southwell 3.20

Backed it last time coming 2nd think this faster ground and flat track might suit better plus AP is back on.

E/W 88/1 treble of Front Of House, Big Fella Thanks and Ebony Diamond.

12:50C - Russinrudi @ 11/4
Only bet of the day for me - huge horse by all accounts the biggest that Donald McCain has ever trained but he was impressive in winning 2 points in Ireland (the second occassion being the fastest race of the day in a time 16 seconds faster than the highly touted Fiddlededee at The Pigeons). He looks a great prospect for fences and 3m 1f should be right up his street for his in form yard.

CONRY .1.30 Wolverhampton... ran well at catterick last twice.. sure to be thereabouts

SALPIERRE.2.45.South
FRONT OF HOUSE.3.20.south
BAGUTTA SUN.3.55.South
MOUNT JULIET.2.05.Wolv
KELLYSTOWN LAD.1.20.Carl

doubles

had a look at the boxing for saturday night too

haye to win by ko in round 1 10/1 or round 2 10/1 big prices, expect him to just jump on harrison and harrison could go into his shell and go down early

saver on harrison to win by ko at 7/1 at any time too... as dont think haye has the best jaw either and harrison is a natural heavyweight and the shots to cause problems

3 winners for me today

glad CONRY won... had a few quid on him!

Well, well, well - got the internet connected back up today to see that Murtagh won't be Ballydoyle stable jockey any more.

Who for the job?

Pat Smullen is the bookies favourite, or would any of the better English-based lads be prepared to go over for it?

Smullen is fav as he's married to Ann-Marie's sister and no other reason - there are plenty of Irish lads in the running I'd imagine with McDonagh, Lordan, Berry etc. all riding well enough of late.

Personally think it'll be one of O'Donoghue or Heffernan who know how Ballydoyle work and are already familiar with working for O'Brien and co.

Christophe Soumillon needs a job as well...

Smullen's out the running now, decided wants to stay with Dermot Weld instead.

Done Featherbed Lane @ 10/1 E/W in the first at Huntingdon

Bangor 2.10 Major Malarkey @ 4/1

Hacked up last week over 3 miles and soft ground like today carries 7lb penalty for the win but should be good enough to overcome that if in same form today.

MONSIEUR JAMIE.12.30.south evens
QUEEN OF CASH.2.00.South 11/10
ALFIE SHERRIN.1.10.Bang 10/3
SCOTER FONTAINE.3.10.Bang evens
KINGS GRACE.4.10.Bang 5/2
PORTERS WAR.2.20.Hunt 10/1

Trebles bet and e/w acca.

monsieur jamie won while i was writing this saw it come 2nd and catterick and had a nice single on him.

Featherbed Lane traded @ 1.76 watching a few of its bumpers it was tanking 1f out but never found much, should of really done a back and lay nevermind money back though.

Anyone done Long Run for Saturday? am on at 4/1 alot of talk last few days saying if it gets round it wins. Already backed it for King George and Gold Cup @ 6/1 an 20/1 E/W

Worst ride ever?
