    Helen, today was one of those days when the horses have clearly not read the form book!

    No worries - it's a percentages game and there is always another day!:)

    Sunday

    The pin has dropped on Christmas In April in the Welsh National.

    I also really like Clyne in the handicap hurdle.

    Hopefully Chepstow isn't flooded.

    Last day of the Leopardstown Christmas Festival today!

    Doncaster 2.20 Asharaan (9/2)

    Newbury 12.55 Gowel Road (7/2)
    Newbury 1.30 Demachine (9/4)
    Newbury 3.15 Star Gate [Nap] (2/1)

    Leopardstown 2.25 Saldier (10/1)

    That last one has been off the track for over a year but has some very interesting pieces of form. He is currently 25/1 for the Champion Hurdle in March, which has begun to have an open look about it. Should he win this afternoon's race he will be 5/1 or 6/1. He has a year off to overcome, but overcame a similar absence when winning at Grade 1 level in November 2019. It's interesting that stable jockey Paul Townend picks him here. A speculative bet, but interesting!

    Bang right, Cowboy! Wish I could have found Championship sack race odds!

    I bet Colin is livid! He would probably have liked to be the one to send TP packing with a win for his Boro at Hillsborough tonight!

    Good call!

    Sounds like Nicky Henderson has a few a bit under the weather as he's freshening them up this week . Cheltenham likely to be off Friday looking at the weather forecast so probably a good time to do it. I know a few trainers ease off in January to give the horses their yearly health jabs ready for Cheltenham but a lot of good racing still

    I'm with you on Star Gate, Orsen. Fingers crossed for us both.

    With Sharjah winning just now, I can see Mullins sending Concertista to the Champion Hurdle. Nothing else in Ireland seems good enough.

    I've had a little nibble at 20s for the Champion.
