Nice to see others return to the blogging scene and especially the two people I follow. I notice the Geeks Toy is linked on JP's blog, a must for anyone interested in trading software and this is a free and speedier version.

Saturday 20th
Ascot 3.15

Result: -Monets Garden wins from Albertas Run
Albertas Run Lost -2 Points

Betfair Ascot Chase
Planet Of Sound looks the part if the 'expected progression' is fortcoming but that is guessing and with others in the field also showing progressive profiles you could guess (btw, Oh Crick would be my personal guess, he ran well behind Twist Magic when stable not firing on all cylinders and if his stamina holds, could beat all) that any one of four could find the improvement necessary to win this. Monets Garden best when fresh has had a 91 day break but the 12yo looks upagainst it in this despite holding the best bits of form in the book. The one I fancy, despite his quirks, is Albertas Run (7/1 Betfair). The John Joe O'Neill trained gelding has won 2-2 at the track including the Reynoldstown  Novice Chase and has mixed it with the best in recent runs and beat both Planet Of Sound and Monets Garden at this track last November.
Stakes: -2 Points win Albertas Run
