Solent Gateway wins at 8/1.

I stipulated each way after 5 out my last 6 selections finished runners up. I'd say you can upgrade today's win; he pulled like a loon throughout the first mile and took the first bend like a drunk driver.

Lady Wilberry 3rd 10/1

Missed tee won 10/11.

I see Metamorpheus won the 12.50 at Punchestown at 14/1.

Previous 2 starts at 200/1 and 100/1 (I hope connections were on that day as he came 3rd)

I believe the name comes from Protien analysis bu he is morphing from a Chrysalis to a Buttterfly.

Mine is shaping up to be the worst title defence ever and I’m going to need a fantastic second half of the month simply to avoid humiliation.

I’ll give Barneys Gift one more chance (16.55 Wolverhampton).

Coconut Splash 2.40 Hereford is the nap,well done yesterdays winners.

Magnificent Ben in the 15:10 at Hereford

Asa, 15:40 Hereford. Decent form, drop back in grade, smallest weight of the principals, and Hereford is a long way to travel from N Yorks if you're not going to have a serious go at winning the thing.

Missed tee 1.40H.

Lady Wilberry 16:10 Here EW Nap

Magnificent Ben - Her 15.10 can be todays pick.

Yesterdays, Wor Verge, was disappointing - gave away about 25 length, maybe more at start, and could never get into race. Came third but only 7 of a field - will win again but may have to wait till it drops back down weights and is less stupidly ridden.

Barenboim 6.00W nap

NAP: 6.00 Wolverhampton – Solent Gateway (each way)

Delighted to see that Colm Murphy looks to have another decent horse with Impervious. I thought she was very impressive at Punchestown yesterday, jumping fast and showing good resolution to stay on in the closing stages. She’s as short as 6/4 for the Mares Chase at Cheltenham and the 7/1 in the Turners.

Bebraveforglory. Hereford 4.10.

Not an exciting day.

Nap 1440 Hereford Jet Plane

Only a 3 race, what could possibly go wrong?

Supasunrise - 15.10 Hereford

Let's Be Honest won on Sunday at 9/10

Calico. 12.15. Punchestown.

I don't want to go over old ground on the deleted post by Playlord on Saturday other than to say 2 things.

Firstly the thread suggests there were 3 or 4 deleted posts but there were actually more than 10 deleted posts on that thread.

Stigma. The 17 year old Moderator took down a lot more than is showing om TH and wouldn't do the same in the Lifestyle Section where you post the best Cheese to use on top of a Shepherds Pie in fear of your life. Of course they are "nice people" not Andy Cap.

Secondly, I am not sure Playlord should have responded to the Provocateur directly as there were plenty on that Forum to expose him as the Pup he is but Reputanional Damage had to be addressed.

On that thread there was talk of Censorship and indeed should those who "blew to another Forum" be posting on TH?

It is a sad thought that Dilton is barred and the likes of Playlord and Harry get RCs when they have been providing such a specialised information service to the Guardian free of charge.
