    Has anyone received any NRMB yet from any of there bookies? I’ve got a couple in the handicaps with Paddy P where they haven’t even been entered for the races I’ve backed them in and with no supplementary stage I thought they would be itching to give me my money back in the hope I would reinvest 🤔

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    This might be a bit far fetched, but can we see a Ryanair on soft ground without both Fact to File and Gaelic Warrior because both owners want to give their horse a chance of winning the gold cup 🤔 Without Jonbon because he’s being saved for aintree and sandown (he’s had a couple of hard races...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Oh FFS 🤦‍♂️ I only cashed her out yesterday at 50’s for the coral as I assumed she went up loads for her Doncaster win and was a certainty to run in the mares! Note to self, do more homework!

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    Looks like this is going to be The Wallparks only conceivable option if the English handicapper keeps him above 145…….. having already done Myretown and Jagwar think I will have to get the missus to get him added at 10/1 NRNB with her 365 account.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    This is what I’ve been mulling over…….. What Sway does Paul have with owners and Willie??? I have no doubt he is banging the drum to ride Il etait temps - Champ Chase, Gaelic Warrior - Ryanair and Galopin - Gold cup Would Willie and Ricci be happy with another jock on Gaelic in the gold cup, or...

    Hello all, I wondered if anyone has any advice or wisdom to offer me regarding an account I’m about to lose…… I have some money with 888 which they stopped me withdrawing and have said because it is now linked to my closed William hill account I will need to provide source of income which I’m...
