For one, Paul Hanagan didn't ride Growl that day, and secondly the handicapper can still raise a horse a pound or two even though it didn't win.
It was too close to winning for it not to be trying, and there was money for it as it was longer odds in the morning. We'll just have to disagree.

Ok. Yes he put a good claimer on.
And no. He won't and isn't hit with a penalty.
Yes they can get hit between 1-3lb for a series of short heads 2nds...but not 2 necks.
A short head rule if thumb is 1lb in weight...but yes there are variants over distance.
And you said you want to disagree...that's fine...but agree or not, Growl could have won that race with ease....but he dunt and I told you he wouldn't....however he'll be unlucky not to win at Ayr.

RD, it's all academic as it's done and dusted.
Bold statement saying he'll be unlucky not to win at Ayr, as there will be big field for the prize money on offer.
Be interesting to see which horse Hanagan rides with George Bowen and Kimbrella also running for Fahey.

Well he's been targeted for this race all year.

3 or more goals games at Millwall Preston Peterborough Plymouth Macclesfield notts county Everton pays 47...3 or more goals at Huddersfield Norwich Rochdale Newport Stirling pays 34...3 or more goals at Chelsea Bolton Crawley port vale Ayr pays 20...3 or more goals at Newcastle Bristol city Coventry Colchester Stranraer pays 18....teams to score 2 goals or more Brentford Preston Walsall Wycombe. Carlisle Colchester pays 51. Bit of Saturday afternoon fun whilst avin a pint

Sky bet's boost at 7/1 ( chelsea, nal, palace looks descent) I've stuck a tenner on.

Gabrial the wire at Chester today.

Just had a go at that myself,was going to put £20 on but would only allow max bet of £15, annoying is that.

Fair odds at 7/1, this treble stands at just over 4/1 with Betfred presently.

My two to avoid:
Roaring Lion Leop 6.35
Too Darn Hot Don 3,.00
Short prices, done a double.

Curiously, I noted that Hanagan was riding one for Haggas rather than Fahey, in the same race.

....anyways.
GTW needs 6f and top of the ground.

Great shout Gazwire, I take my hat off to you!

Wire 4/6 Saints 6/5 Betfred.
Did not expect us to be favourites.

Well if we play a strong team we ought to be....we've been a hell of a lot better than them over the last 2/3 months.

What start are st hemmings getting then

2 points start for Saints. Only Betfred offering odds at the moment.

Lol "St Hemmings"

They play at the Totally Wiggied Stadium, RD.

We have won 4 out of our last 9 SL games, losing to Wigan twice, Cas and Saints once.

I try and check to see who is in the 19 for both sides before I do anything. Even then there could be slight changes, but you've a fair idea of how strong both sides are.

What does bthat have to do with scotch mist?

There's not a game we've lost without an excuse and I'm surprised if you don't know that.

It's our form and there is always an excuse.

You can't draw form from that.
Paper form yes.
That's why punters loose to bookies.
