A good day yesterday with some excellent results - not just for the blog selections but a double for Robert 'Choc' Thornton on only his third day back from sustaining a horrific arm injury that required a lot of metal and stitches (RoboChoc?).
Alan King's stable is apparently about to hit some good form if the signals are correct - not too early before CheltFest hopefully.
Well I'm up at stupid o'clock on a Sunday morning, on my second cup of coffee and the early birds are just beginning to makes bird-like noises - I think they're appreciating my healthier eating as there is always some stale (wholemeal) bread left for them and now they wait around the corner at daybreak for their breakfast!
I was way off with my suggestion of a McCain/Maguire lucky 31 for Haydock yesterday but I feel a little safer suggesting a Tizzard (5 winners yesterday) each way patent today as I cannot imagine they won't be placed (see notes/selections below)! The Tizzard runners at Ffos Las today are:

- 13:30 Ohio Gold NR (also runs Jumps Road)
- 14:00 Milarrow UP
- 15:00 Douryna UP
Each Way Tizzard Patent (which requires a double from baby Powell!) - 14 pts Pah!
Only the one winner today and a place :( down -5.07
The lack of pictures or video on the blog today has upset me greatly so I've put it right below with Christy Moore's Ballad Of Ruby Walsh with the most literal translation of lyrics to pics that has been know (some very funny interpretation in it though!) Only the one winner today and a place :( down -5.07

Notes:
1/ Ohio Gold has entries to the Supreme
and Neptune (ran in Neptune last year). Colin
Tizzard (5 winners yesterday) has two runners in this – with Brendan Powell Jnr
(who’s won twice aboard previously) claiming on Ohio and Joe riding the other
Jumps Road.
2/ Benheir would be top of my list but
the stable hasn’t been firing recently so has been demoted (even with McCoy
booked). Milarrow was undone by the gluey
heavy ground LTO (officially described as soft – don’t believe it!). He has 4lbs less to haul around here today
and can go one better.
3/ Cross The Flags should manage to win
this and although Lady Karinga is still well in the grip of the handicapper,
she may run into a place at a big enough price.
4/ Serecina was last seen in the
Foxhunter last year. Goes well fresh
(two only wins have come after a long break) and always ridden by trainer Chloe
Roddick.

'Twiglet The Piglet' has one of the best names I've seen for a while - she is running in the 13:40 at Market Rasen but unfortunately has as much chance of winning as either the first or last part of her name!
Anyone who subscribes to this blog may notice that they get a couple of emails a day this past month. This is because I have started to republish the blog once all my selections are up and before the first race I've selected for - a means of proofing the selections if you like!
