Cue Card got mugged yesterday (but then he was giving 7lb to Bob's Worth), Ranjaan was comprehensively beaten by Urbain Di Sivola (Hugh Tayl or tipped this up) and most definitely needed the experience, Mono Man hit the last flight and that did for him ....and my list of "next time outs" is growing ever longer!
Paul Hanagan had four rides at Wolves after a well deserved 3 weeks holiday ....and won on three of them - including a 16/1 shot, demonstrating why he became champ for the 2nd year.
I have made progress with my Xmas wishlist (The RP calendar being at the top if you recall)......someone with very neat girlie handwriting has added "subtle like a wrecking ball" to the bottom.....so at least I know it's been read. The only problem is that everyone else in the house thinks it's a great idea to have a list on the fridge and now my list is struggling for white frontage space.
Edwina Currie turned on our towns Christmas Lights last night (Friday) - apparently there was a teenage FaceBook plot to egg her.....I've had to explain to my two teenagers what the egg connotation was about which sort of leads to the impression that no other teenagers won't know either!
Hennessy Gold Cup
In big races, before looking through each horses form I like to take a quick look at previous winners and see if I can glean any useful stats from this.
1833 was a good year for (1) abolishing slavery and (2) the factory act which laid down the law re. working hours and child labour
Peddlers Cross will win the first at Bangor today - he is my favourite horse so the result is not up for discussion! It would take Godzilla wearing a tutu and speaking Klingon, descending from a blue cloud with a giant robotic claw to pluck him from the racecourse to stop him winning (only my opinion of course!) 1st of course!

In big races, before looking through each horses form I like to take a quick look at previous winners and see if I can glean any useful stats from this.
- Eight of the past ten winners have been aged 6 or 7 which clears half the field
- Look for a top trainer - smaller stables don't have such a good record
- The biggest priced winners in the last 10 years has been 25/1 (Pipe trained Madison Du Berlais in 2008)
- This either wants to be the first outing of the season (since March or April) or the 2nd run following a seasonal debut within 28 days (28 Oct)
- Only three of the past ten winners haven't won either here or at Cheltenham before (i.e. they're solid good jumpers!)
- Just three SP favourites have won in the past 10 years
1833 was a good year for (1) abolishing slavery and (2) the factory act which laid down the law re. working hours and child labour

7 races and 5 winners - some were short enough but I combined a few (quite a few!) and made some decent returns today. On level win only stakes however it returns -1.34.

1/ With question marks over Empire Levant
(turned out very soon) and Rock On Ruby & Dream Function (both better over further?)I’m going with these two (RofT would be
first choice if not for stable not hitting form yet)
2/ A buying money race (same notes apply to Big Bucks as to Peddlers Cross above!) – looking for
the runner up is the only challenge and I’ll take the chance that Sparky may
will settle better – after all Kieran Burke knows the horse as well any anyone!
3/ Only worry with Aiteen Thirtythree
is that all wins have been in smaller fields but with Ruby aboard to help, this
really isn’t much of a worry at all and is proven over this distance. Great Endeavour should stay, his fail at
Aintree over this distance could be put down to the run coming only 3
weeks after falling the prev outing.
