Well done JD and David for Saturday winners. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
Well, I backed Escobar who ran well enough in 8th. I ignored Gerald Delamere's own selection* for the race, of course, Atrium at 25/1. Gerald's had a torrid time of it this flat season with selections, but I always read every small essay for each horse in the races he covers. He has his own angles, and puts a huge amount of work in. He charges only £80 a year, or a tenner a month.
Including the Lincoln, ATRIUM had run in four very competitive handicaps before dead-heating in an 0-95 at Doy. Hasn’t made much of an impression at Chepstow or Sandown since and looks better with some give underfoot. This straight track ground always suits that type of horse and he loves the course.Including the Lincoln, ATRIUM had run in four very competitive handicaps before dead-heating in an 0-95 at Doncaster in July.

Luna Dora 2nd at a stingy 12/1.
Managed to get 25s earlier .
Joe, Slugger won at 16/1 !!!.
General Medrano won at 11/8. Not keen on selecting shorties on here but, in my defence, he was 11/4 when I backed him.
Tommy's Oscar won at 5/4
Small beer compared to the others, but gave me a smile
Bois Guliibert won at 4/1
Knocked out by Baciodilupo's Slugger at 16/1, well done!
Struggling today.
I'll take a chance with Luna Dora ew. Uttoxeter 5.15.
Esprit du portier .Kelso 2.30. Alan haz lucindas other entry in this race. Mine is about evens, his 100 to 1. Let battle commence
C The Bunny Run 14:30 Kelso EW Nap.
Couple of Godolphin's running at Woodbine tonight. Nations Pride has served me well, but with Master Of The Seas beaten last night I don't fancy another expensive mistake.
I'm taking on With the Moonlight with Skims each way in the 21:31 at Woodbine for probably another costly mistake.
Inis oirr 3.00K.
Velka Pardubice today. No one yet brave enough to put a tip up. I wonder what the sales pitch of Gary Moore was for Imphal? 'Made for it! We can't build fences big enough for him!' If horses could talk, what would Imphal say? What surprised me was that the prize money seems very modest.
Nap Kelso 1530 Tommy's Oscar
another cliff horse who is being expected to give about 2 stone away but the stable are in decent form, as they always seem to be. Good to see a top horse in a hcp.
NAP Slugger 2.30 Kelso.
The Bomber is back over hurdles, 3.45 Uttoxeter. I may regret not napping him!
Bois Guillbert 2.00K nap
Uttoxeter - 3.45 Hurrican Harvey
General Medrano - 16.15 Uttoxeter
Scots Poet - 14.00 Kelso
Hammer Dan 5.15 Uttoxeter is the nap, well done yesterdays winners.
Not much of interest to me on the domestic front.
I see 3 G1s in the States across 3 separate Race Tracks but I can't spot one Horse I've ever heard of within my limited parameters
I am going 13.15. Lyon -Parilly.
It is a Listed Race.
I presume there is a Train Station nearby as I wouldn't want to walk halfway between Lyon and Parily and back.
It is Euboa. Win only. Trained by Edward Munch.
