hi jacqui , david , loan ,and alan, well got sort of agree with loanshark ive just been reading up on pricewise article in the racing post and i think all the pointers are going in favour of PREMIO LOCO whom a fav jockey of mine george baker takes the ride however your more clued up than me jacqui and its intresting what you say about the jockey change so we shall see.
my NAP of the day is going to be ETHAARA im a big fan of richard hills and he is riding today for a yard that is starting to get back on track allthou i no the season is closing so my cash is on ETHAARA today also i would watch out for KING SUPREME in the last race i think the booking of ryan moore is a clue itself.

I`ve done a lucky 15. All favourites. Elnawin 2.20. Many volumes 2.50. Premio Loco 3.25. Ashram 4.00. Plus Scoop6. Which is actually a Scoop3 this week. The 3 unnamed favourites. Worth a try?

Jacqui
I think he has an excellent chance. You know I ain’t the greatest fan of sand racing but he is a course winner and his breeding suggests he’ll have no trouble getting the extra distance. (Chester House – Reams Of Verse)
Only thing is, I long for the days when the likes of Cauthen, Ryan and Fallon used to ride for King Henry.
Durcan is ok but he’s not quite in their league.

Your’ skill speaks volumes for you, but I don’t think it will be many today !!

Assuming he acts on the going then over the extra two furlongs I think Halicarnassus will beat you – However I really don’t think you can look past "Galactic Star" – you know my feelings on the first race and I am rowing in with "Premier Loco" in the 3-25 for a nice Win Round Robin. Hopefully Champagne tonight and not the usual Merlot !!

tricky race this one your selection needs to improve to take this . its a big step up in class today for him ok he won well last time but it was a modest race and it was a slow time . and i dont think hes certain to stay. im gonna take a chance with galactic star and a little e/w on hattan. happy punting

Many Volumes can he do it again?
Many Volumes runs again today at Kempton in the 2.50.
One of my favourite horses, he has a few more top class opponents today, but is a course winner, progressive (the extra distance shouldn’t trouble him), he has a good draw (10) and the possibility that his usual jockey superted Durcan will ride him now that racing is abandoned at Haydock and Thirsk.
This horse doesn’t know how to run a bad race.

Anyone having a bet today?
Thanks for all your comments you were all of course right that Many Volumes was running over too long a distance (1 mile 3f is his max) & in a much harder race than LTO.
He was progressive and now they know just how far he needs & what class to run him in for the future.
I love that horse and followed him whatever,wrong I know.
What a shame that that race was also the one that brought down most peoples ‘Scoop 3′ today including mine.
I did do Elnawin (tipped by loanshark) with Many Volumes and Premio Loco for a win Trixie so didn’t lose all my money today.
Will post Best Answer later as want to see how Des’s horse gets on in the last at Kempton, good luck Des you’re on a roll today David G hope you did that each way on Hattan at 16-1.
Sir Alan..thanks for your email,hope you didn’t put too much on Many Volumes if any. When Ted Durcan didn’t turn up to ride him I was a bit worried about his chances, I agree with you about the old jockeys and Cecil.
Good luck tomorrow..Jacqui x
