Friday

Horrible day out there!

Trying to write tomorrow's Irish Independent article but it's proving tricky with meetings getting cancelled all over the place. That's one of the difficult things about having strict copy deadlines - you could spend the morning writing and researching but then the meeting gets cancelled and it's back to the drawing board. It's not very exciting but at least there will be some all-weather meetings to write about and hopefully, some decent racing at Naas will go ahead.

Another winner yesterday on the favourites strategy although the price came right in and it went off at 1/2. I've one bet on that today, Neige d'Antan in the 2.00 at Lingfield. She'll probably go off around 10/11 or thereabouts.  Here's Timeform's comment:

Most consistent, battling on grimly when narrowly regaining winning thread at Wolverhampton. Good nose second there next time and sure to go well again.
