| I think he's a very good jockey merlin. Definitely wouldn't be put off backing any horse with him on their back. Lidar has clearly improved for the blinkers and Torphichen has never been able to jump. Don't think you could blame poor jumps solely on the jockey |

| The drift on Dreamwriter on the exchanges probably tells you how shes going to run, but her debut performance has left a lasting impression on me and I have waited for her to tackle the AW given her US pedigree. The 30s on BF is worth the risk |

| Absolutely loads of racing today but do like the look of two today - Isla Pearl Fisher for Lucy Alexander in the 3.55 - won well enough last time out and should go well today despite the rise in class and Drummers Drumming in the 4.10 - was pulled the other day so hopefully pay off running him today. |

sydney paget was not travelling well at all - seemed too heavily restrained - not sure what that was all about - horse didn't look comfortable on the jumps at all - and had nothing in reserve to fight back into race.
Grandads horse on the other hand - composed, fight and stamina at the end. |

| Wayne Hutchinson - anyone rate him. Always seems to smash horses into fences for me He did it on lidar LTO and that hacked-up today with Choc...did it in that last race smashed last 2 when cruising. |
This really amused me as Wayne Hutchinson rode him today and the fact that you rarely have anything positive to say about a jockey the comment doesnt surprise me |

That's quite funny regarding Lidar, even I am smirking at that one; nice faux pas.
However, the ride by Noel Fehily on Grandad's horse was superb. He went for home at the perfect time and that essentially won the race, because the horse was starting to feel the pace. I like to give jockeys credit when it's due and to suggest that I only discredit them, is quite frankly, incorrect (the value in discrediting them is, however, a pretty worthless venture, that I agree with). |

| Jamie - bad luck. Completely missed the break and finished like a train. One to look out for next time perhaps |
