Eligible 6.30 Pontefract won SP 14/1.

Nap 7.40 Limerick - Trickey Trix

I think Dandy Dan has a live chance of turning over the hot favourite Vaucelet in the big one at Stratford. He has been prepared for this day by Jim Bourne and ridden throughout by young Lauren Keen-Hawkins, and they absolutely hacked up last month at Cheltenham on ground similar to tonight's, putting away solid yardsticks like Mighty Stowaway and . Of course this is a step up and Vaucelet has smart hunter form in the book in Ireland, most recently going close behind Willie Mullins's star hunter Billaway, who has really put in an improved showing this year. Nonetheless, I see DD as a big improver. Quite lightly raced when with Kim Bailey, he still runs in the colours of one of Bailey's big owners. Lauren can't claim in this championship race but she is a capable rider and knows this horse inside out. You can still find some 11/2.

Try Darvel 3.55 B

My only UK based tracker horse running today (I have one in Sydney for some unknown reason) was listed at 33s this morning and I was too embarrassed to nap it. It drifted out to 100s at one stage, but finished 3rd with an SP of 80/1. Didn't bother to back it of course.

Jungle fever won 3/1

Don't know about nap of the day but Dilton deserves a gold star for his comments about Marquand who then, right on cue, rode a blinder on Quickthorn.
