Frustrating day with two seconds in the first two races of this post. Lord Du Mensil backed at 12s but drifted like a barge to 33s and finished second . Nayati ends the day on a good note by winning . A loss of 6.50 points on the day .

Theres a decent hurdle race at lingfield but I think it will get called off. If it goes ahead I’ll try and go through that if I manage to get time.

You should have a look at some of the paying punters comments on Sandowns Twitter page , to say unhappy is an understatement albeit , jumps racing in UK is becoming a farce , too slippy , too sunny , wrong kind of grass ... blah , blah , blah .
Yep, was only thinking same earlier . It’s Soft/Heavy in cork but no issues . I can’t comment on how bad it actually is at Sandown , but there’s too many times there’s lame excuses in Britain .

Its all about opinions ? El Barra is on the drift, not something I like see for a Mullins horse ,so you may well be right, and the distance and ground for Pic Dorhy is why he is odds against and not odds on.....Vorshan out to 12 to,good luck with yours today.
Just watched first race . Very testing out there. And you mate good luck

Missing out one hurdle on the hurdle course which I can live with, but the chase course is missing out 5 fences which is a big problem for me and probably many other punters . I might cash out my money in the 2.35

A rare day off for me. OK Vorashann cant possibly win the 12.50 at Sandown, only ever wins at Fontwell and cant possibly perform at right hand Sandown having a record of 0/3 here, not even a place to show for his efforts, the ground is all wrong as his ideal ground is good and its only just raceable today following an inspection. Won a Class 2 last time out, the 2nd and 4th have come out to win Class 2 Handicaps since, still only a 6 yr old so maybe some improvement still to come. Is 2/2 for this jockey who can still claim 6lb in this Class 3 Conditional. Stuffed out of sight following another huge drift; already gone from 10/3 to 8/1, and I'll have egg on my face, won't be the first time and it won't be the last, that's why is called gambling. Around 10 on the exchanges says to me that he is now overpriced hence the chance being taken , win and place. It's a wonderful game this horse racing game.
In the 2.35 Pic Dorhy looked to big at 2.6, class horse of the race and stable in good form, just around 2.36 now, was running on last time so 3m could be within his range.
2.43 at Cork see El Barra on a recovery mission and looks the class horse here, around the 2.4 mark looks ver fair to me.
Good luck today everyone .
I thought about going in on El Barra. Yesterdays short priced favourites losing put me off though . Pic D’Orhy is definitely the class horse but not sure the ground will be ideal for his first go at 3m, although he’s won on soft before. Maybe that’s my money talking though ?

Sandown 3.05
Moulins Clermont 9.22 8/1
Irish Hill 9.15 11/4
Volkova 8.65 11/1
Gipsy De Choisel 8.47 5/1
Top rated goes well fresh and won well at Sandown previously, although only wins coming in small fields. Irish Hill from the Nicholls stable and looks open to a lot more improvement . Bit of a gap to rest .
2.50 points top two
25 points staked in total

Just done the 12.50 at Sandown and The Cob is well clear . He’s being heavily backed as we speak. 13/2 last night now 7/2 favourite . Everything perfect for him and him and Vorashann are stepping down in class. The Cob seems better handicapped though and runs well at Sandown
5 points win

Sandown 2.35
Fantastikas 8.5 3/1
Does He Know 8.25 2/1
Pic D’ Orhy 8.1 11/10
Paul Nicholls has the highest rated horse in the race with Pic D’ Orhy , but he’s stepping up to 3m for the first time. Top rated goes well fresh with jockey and trainer in form. He has Does He Know beaten on their Cheltenham form but that was a different type of race compared to this .
5 points win top rated

Think I’ve found a good bet in the veterans chase 3.35 Sandown . Crosspark 22/1
Distance no problem along with the ground. He also runs the course very well and although has been off the track for a bit goes very well fresh . Runs off 144 having run to RPRs of 148/153/153 last year. Course RPRs are 148/148/153/153. He’s 12 now, but that’s a cracking price I think. Paying 3 places so I’ll go 2.50 ew .

Gunsight wins. 3 winners at 5/1 9/4 9/4 and a second at 5/2 for the ratings. Profit on the day 20.50 points . 3 short odds of 1/1 11/10 11/10 not winning so I can count myself lucky I made some profit in what had been a busy day of racing.

As @Zilzalianwould say fill your wheelbarrow with Brewin’upastorm ???
Offering evens in places and at the weights should win this . Won by 9 lengths last year in a better race
I’m glad I never filled my wheelbarrow and only had a few quid on it. Unseated at first ?

Proven over distance , runs well on testing ground, and has decent record fresh. Another big factor was his current mark. Had ran well in a class two also , so was certainly up to winning a class 3. His highest RPR was also at Bangor when he won on his only previous start there. The Skeltons in good form also gave me a bit more confidence . Good luck at Kempton tonight .
