The '2026 Naiad' 7pm Thursday 26th February

Thanks Paul, good fun as usual. Always prefer it when it's one that I didn't really have on my radar.
 
Thanks for all the effort you put into it Paul. We will cheering it on from Lanzarote. 👊🏻👍🏻
You can’t beat heading down to watch the festival in a T-shirt and a pair of shorts

Off to Gran Canaria myself

Can’t wait

The Donnacha thing did me more money.
already on from when he won on trials day, and is in nearly all my handicap multiples, didn't really need/want any more.
but fomo and all that. :rolleyes:
good to be an idiot on occasions i reckon.

Hyland became my No1 after Answers looked like missing it.
Just wish all these fucking 150+ graded horses would fuck off.

I'd normally ignore them with some confidence but this years renewal looks weak.
Hopefully Henderson doesn't get ground wobbles.
I think I'd rather not have posh boy riding also as he'll definitely have his focus on other races, although at least the supreme and arkle will already have been run by then. So less likely to go half arsed, like he can sometimes.
 
Benidorm for me.
anyone going, I'll happily get a round in 👍
or an ice cream :love:

On the other hand he could be brimming with confidence after riding the winners of the first 3 races 😄
 
Tenerife again for me for this year, cant fucking wait for some warm weather.

yeah, I'd prefer he'd had at least one as his toys will be out the pram otherwise.
Big boys don;t always ride in Ultima, too scary for some of them, so hopefully bowen rides.
Wouldn;t mind posh boy though, he can ride when he's in the right mood.
 
….the best NRNB on Hyland this morning looks like 14s, with PP as low as 10-1. Their 12-1 AP is quite a haircut from 33s.

Donnacha is as low as 8-1 (Plate) with 365, 12-1 NRNB is about the best available. Herakles also into a best 12-1 NRNB KM.

First part of the job done (y)

The Sun Inn in Stockton-on-Tees for me, not quite as exotic, but full of characters 🤣
