I'm a bit concerned about the form of some of Nicky Henderson's horses, especially the Top Ones having their first run. Apparently they haven't been able to gallop them on grass until very recently. I watched MIGHT BITE's race again and he was legless after the last, and I'm sure wasn't fit enough. I certainly won't be backing BUVEUR D'AIR, and he's a horse I adore, and has only ever been beaten once in his life over hurdles, and that was in one of the best Supreme Hurdles ever, behind ALTIOR, when he was given too much to do imo.

Not looking good for tomorrow as winners today (Friday) at 50-1, 9-1 and 6-1. Can lightning strike twice. Appears my fav price is 9-2!!!!!
iiii- 2.15 LINGFIELD - BIG COUNTRY 9-2 - Ok one of my favourite horses in training but ran well her last time to finish 2nd. Off for a little while but he runs well when fresh so very hopeful. 2nd to hot pot if jockey hadnt have stoked him up going into bend so he went wide then could have held on as he doesnt like getting passed
iii- HAYDOCK 1.00 - SHANTUNG 9-2 - Top rated in race and won easily last time and second has franked form. Top northern jockey on . LOST went out in betting and very disappointing
ii - NEWCASTLE 1.55 - SHINE BABY SHINE 9-2 - Already backed from 12-1 and was running a good race here before almost coming down when a horse fell on front of him and took the sting out it. LAST didnt jump well enough

iii- NEWBURY 2.25 - SANDY BEACH - 11-2 - Started career brilliantly but then disappointing until wind surgery and upped in trip produced a nice win last time. Hoping he can repeat. LOST
ii- NEWBURY 3.35 - WENYERREADYFREDDIE 2-1 - Beat Kildisart last time and he and 3rd have both franked form since. LOST ran out of steam and again disappointing run
i- DONCASTER 3.15 - ENNISCORTHY OSCAR 11-4- Two from two over hurdles at this track and nicely weighted to win over fences this time. LOST Again a very disappointing run
