              • Thank Jon, yours efforts are much appreciated.
                The one thing many of you may already know which was mentioned last night by Christian Williams was that he broke Al Dancer in for Dai Walters (he cost £280,000) and spent quite a bit of time with him as a 3/4 yr old but said they had a number of issues with him going lame. They struggled with a few continuing ailments and injuries and although he’s a big horse he’s always been a bit fragile. That shouldn’t have that much of a bearing on the SNH but may have an impact on his longevity as a top level horse.

                • I was at the Warwick preview night tonight.

                  The info I took out of it was:-
                  The Skelton's were massively keen on Spiritofthegames in the Plate (had that kind of sparkle in their eye) and very hopeful about Chtibello in the County.
                  They said notwhatiam is being touted in all the preview nights in the Pertemps but they couldn't understand why. His worse priced horse according to Dan. Olly Murphy said Gordon thought that Dallas Des Pictons was a group horse in a handicap in the Martin Pipe but that's not much of a surprise to anyone following the preview nights.
                  David Crosse said Kilfilum Cross (a horse he has ridden) is a 150 horse and gets in the Kim Muir off 139 so has loads in hand

                        Thanks howard.
                        I only caught the first half but Skelton was quizzed on what his handicap cheat ups were and he said he’s reveal the 1,2,3 after the break, did you get those ?
