A day with a decent outlay which could have gone either way but ended in a profit of just an Ayrton Senna.

My first bet was an e/w and i was disappointed with the way it was ridden, it always seemed to be in behind other horses and not getting a view of the fences which led to a few poor jumps, then when it was coming to challenge at the last it was again denied a clear view of the fence and jumped poorly then ran on too late and was less than a length out of the frame!

Vallani was ridden around the inside for most of the race and stayed on dourly to win cosily in the end and secure a profit on the day, my irish bet Catleen was unable to be given away in the ring and ran accordingly, being out the back and making a bit of headway without being given a chance, probably be saved for another day.

My two flat bets where at different meetings and ran very different races, Lisahane Bog was weak in the market and was again given a poor ride, had no room and was pulled out to run on all too late. My final bet was Kyle of Bute e/w at Kempton who was ridden from the front at a furious pace and looked the likely winner after going six lengths clear with two furlongs to go, then the favourite came out of the pack faster than a Scouser offered a job and flew past too win easily to ensure i did not end the day with a decent return.
