Ferns was only 80% fit apparently. Beat a nice few ex chasers who had fitness on their side. Been following Christies ever since he had the illness and everything went pear shaped for the small yard. Back on track it seems now. Might run in another point in a few weeks but, Stephens day (26.12) is the aim for the track, Down Royal Hunter Chase. Also heard the owner turned down near half a million for the horse.

Ferns lock dotted up

bookmakers are slow to react to these races

PP still 8/1

Anyone else having problems with 365?
I can’t get in since this morning, getting error message
Just wondering if it’s a general thing or just me?
Any help much appreciated
cheers

Fine for me here in Ireland, and I was on there earlier as well.
 
Should have mentioned this on Saturday but during the RTE Down Royal programme here, the presenting team were asked to each name two horses to follow for the season.

Ruby opted for Facile Vega and Nick Rockett, saying about the latter that he probably wouldn't win first time out, but he would be of interest 'as we head into the Spring'.

May not mean much but may be of interest to some of you.

That sounds very NHC-like …

Could also mean spring away from Cheltenham.

Wouldn't surprise me if they target the G1 novice chase back at Fairyhouse over 2m4f that Flame Bearer won last season.

Probably not good news for those two. He's not the greatest tipster in the world from memory. Better than pricewise and UTA though.

Don't sit on the swinging seats at Mowgli !!

The Coconut Tree (Sri Lankan) is very nice food, bit of a walk mind

Coconut tree is class. Always used to go there after work. Nice vibe too.
