Weatherbys are complete and utter muppets. Want proof of source of funds for horse purchase and proof of identity. Just making the process so bloody awkward. They didn’t even know who Alan king is. Alan, Alan, who the fuck is Alan…….

Tenerife flights for next year's festival now booked for my friends and I.
More expensive than last year even though i've booked 6 months earlier so maybe more people are doing the same.

Will be doing the same. Lanzarote was great this year. Will sit and see what deals come though but hoping to fly the day before the fest and do 10 nights so i get the racing and Mrs Somer gets the sun.

I tend to only use the Sportinglife website for race replays these days, and I've just noticed the horse search facility is no longer on the website. When did it go, or is it me that can't see for looking?

Hi Spectre. You have to sign in and go to 'my stable' and then the search facility is available from there.

Is anyone else having 365 login issues via the site on mobile where it doesn't accept your credentials even though they are correct until you untick 'keep me logged in'?

Weird issue I'm having.

Mine seems to go to the loading circle of death when I try to opt in for their football offers
 
Been looking through my Cheltenham 25 books this morning and something struck me. I am sure all of us have Maughreen penciled in for the Mares Novices Hurdle but what are the chances she could be made up into a Supreme contender? If she is as good as first seen then a 7lb weight allowance could be huge. Be also interesting to see if JP McManus has her in his sights. Generally around a 25/1 shot and she came out after Christmas which you would assume put's her high in the pecking order of last years crop.

Mares just tend not to go that way though.
Gives us all another chance to moan about the mares programme diluted festival though….

Be very very surprised if they go that route with her, as always Willie MO is go to the race you can win. Now she could well look like a proper superstar this season but I'd imagine she would just go the usual Mares Nov route this season. You never know, could be talking champ hdle next :watermelon:

Im sure our own Run4Home would guide us the right way

Has anyone got anything in mind for the king George VI chase?
I had previously backed il est francais but thats looking like wasted money now. Looking at the market I would personally be looking at fact to file but no idea if that's even it's target? Any suggestions?
