I got a couple on before they ran, El Fabiolo and High Definition. But like you say, the way prices are after the races, it's usually never worth backing until the day.

I've not backed it as a single, but the only horse that would interest me from the weekend would be Cool Survivor for the Martin Pipe as he's available at 16s.

Perceval Lagallois would definitely be a bet on the day for the Pertemps, but far too short to back now.

I'm tempted to back il etait temps I have to say

The way he quickened up off that strong pace is a very solid pointer to a big run in the Supreme

The thing that's stopping me is if facile gets there Paul will choose him and then il etait temps may be the same price or bigger on the day

Or Willie might run one of impaire et passe or gaelic warrior and suddenly he's 3rd string and 7/1 on the day

Il be waiting for the first race offers i think

The spanner in the works would be it coming out facile has an issue and that's why he folded so tamely

Good summing up, the last line is why I backed him, although it was at 7-1 straight after the race, which is better than available now.

For all you weather nerds out there, and apologies to Charlie as I've seen here many time reference to his proximity to the course, and who is probably best suited for updates.

This detail seems a new innovation from The Jockey Club, but in all honesty I wouldn't know for sure. It's the only time of the year I follow the weather with anything like a religious zeal. I'll be checking in on this link everyday.

FAO of all members - after a little phone call with nortonscoin200 today (which as a millennial, killed me - just send me some emojis man) we are going to be beta testing the idea of trying to crack a handicap in 24 hours.

The idea is - well have a thread where (hopefully some users will post trends, stats etc as pre reading. Across the 24 hours wed encourage everyone to post their opinions and make cases. I'll attempt to moderate and summarise. At the end we'll have a vote on Nailed On, Good Value, Dark Horse. Hopefully we can even make twitter go mad by creating some blue haha.

The Race well be starting on is the Grand Annual - has a great trend of horses not having run in 30 days and it'll be 31 on Sunday, so despite no entries well have seen the likely winner.

I'll be dropping the thread in tomorrow in the members area but would love to hear

- if you're interested!
- if youd like to do some pre research to share
- if you think it's a stupid idea and we shouldn't do it before I tell my missus I'm spending Saturdsy getting battered for the Ireland game, and my hangover on Sunday moderating a brainstorm on a horse racing forum
