I am absolutely amazed that we have a full day of racing after the hurricane that has hit the country this week. All the ramparts from General Towers have been smited and I have had to hoist the flag in surrender and move out until the construction men straighten it up again. Not good. Poor TGL had to spend Valentines in a 5 star hotel, with spa treatments, champagne, finely cooked steaks and sleep in a 4 poster bed. Not the luxurious lifestyle she is accustomed to!<\/p>\n
On to today and I hope\u00a0Chance Du Roy<\/b>\u00a0comes back in 1 piece after his Ascot exertions, as after this it is all roads to Aintree for 1 of our Grand National hopes – see my\u00a0Grand National page<\/a>\u00a0for all our selections. How he fares today is irrelevant to his National chances, but a nice safe round of jumping will suffice.<\/p>\n Talking of Ante-Post advices, if you took advantage of the advice given here last week –\u00a0Last Instalment<\/b>\u00a0– then you will now be sitting pretty with a 50\/1 bet NRNB for the Gold Cup, all paid for by lumping on at the generous sp of 8\/1 last Sunday. If you didn’t heed my advice then never mind, keep taking the tablets.<\/p>\n The ground everywhere is going to be testing today, so ensure that all your own selections can handle it and are proven on it. I shall list all my selections below and in keeping with our new policy of no beating around the bush, I shall now stop blabbing.<\/p>\n Haydock\u00a014.55 Wychwoods Brook 10s<\/b>\u00a0with\u00a0bet365<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Ascot\u00a015.15 Kaylif Aramis 8s<\/b>\u00a0with\u00a0bet365<\/a><\/b><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Ladbrokes<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Ascot\u00a015.50 Rolling Aces 7s<\/b>\u00a0with\u00a0Skybet<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Gowran\u00a016.10 Santo Prince at SP.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am absolutely amazed that we have a full day of racing after the hurricane that has hit the country this week.
