Well Frankie i did get a decent winner in Ambrose Princess at 7/1 at Uttoxeter plus though not a great price but bigger than expected on BF I did decide Twentynineblack was a good thing and then with Verdant losing decided as I might as well plough back my winnings on Paco Boy whilst waiting for Pompey to lose Going ew on Dubia Media ensured I actually ended up just in profit even with the footie bet going astray ( which is why I rarely bet on football !). At least RED NOT BLUE was a nice and apt winner at 6/1 so maybe there is something in this name thing ! Oh yes the 2.30 at Newbury didn't seem to pan out for Right Step and he looks one to keep on the right side of after doing well to finish fifth. Take care, Chris

Yep, you do TBH.

Still tired after "celebrating" Pompey losing and then staying up until I'm not sure when to watch the Amir Khan fight but well worth it. Happy days! Just a few for today: 2.30 - Market Rasen - Prize Fighter - e/w @ 16/1 (General) Both Prize Fighter and his stable have not seen the winners enclosure since his last victory in June 2007. Add to that his dismal display at Fakenham last time out and he has to go down as a very speculative selection. However prior to that disappointment he had put in two encouraging efforts at Doncaster and it's not difficult to see him going well here if he gets a decent pace. He is a good traveller who doesn't always find as much as he promises off the bridle but, from a career low mark of 95 on ground he handles, he is a tempting proposition at around 16/1. His second in January in a big field was his best effort in a very long while and, although he didn't repeat it next time out, he did travel well into the latter stages and may have found the 20 furlongs in soft ground a bit too far. Back down in trip today he is up to giving this standard of opposition a race if he fancies it. 3.10 - Ripon - Elusive Sue @100/30 (General) Not a bad race of it's type and one in which Elusive Sue looks sure to go well. She produced a bit of a mixed bag as a Juvenile but she did wind up the campaign with a cosy win in a Haydock Maiden. That form was nothing special but she did have the field well strung out and bettered that performance on her reappearance over seven furlongs at Beverley last month, despite the test seemingly stretching her stamina. She was less than two lengths behind Hacienda, who subsequently ran well in a Group Three in Ireland, and was a short head in front of Bonfire Night, who ran well in a much better handicap, albeit up in trip, at Newbury yesterday. Elusive Sue has been raised two pounds today but the drop back to six furlongs could see her progress past most of this opposition. 3.30 - Market Rasen - Our Jim @ 7/1 (Stan James) A competitive handicap Chase and the one that appeals most is Our Jim. He progressed in each of his first three completed Chases and returned from a ten month absence to run two good races in March. They were over 20/21 furlongs but his victory at Wetherby last season came over 25 furlongs and he has winning form over hurdles at 26 furlongs, so the step back up in trip today should suit. He is relatively lightly raced for an eight year old and there is scope for further progression over the bigger obstacles. A winner over hurdles on his only previous visit to this track, he represents a powerful in form yard who have a 28% strike rate with their Chasers at this course. 3.50 - Stratford - Aqualung - e/w @ 14/1 (General) 4.10 - Ripon - Managua - @11/4 (General) Otherwise, come on England, bash the Aussies in the 20/20 Have a good day all.

Did you have a bet on an 11th round stoppage ! Could have been stopped earlier IMO but Malinaggi showed bags of spirit but was outclassed after a slow first few rounds, not surprised as Khan's 1st pro fight away from UK. More to come I think. Katsidis was simply too strong for Mitchell and showed his full punching power.

Indeed, still a totally banal comment though but what else do you expect from ITV !?

That'll do me nicely !
