UK Wednesday

It's been peeing down in Taunton and will be a good test of stamina.
plenty of stamina and a low weight in such testing conditions will be required in the 3 mile handicap of at 1-10 UK time.
THE LAST BRIDGE ticks a lot of boxes having 2 wins and 2 places from just 6 runs on heavy ground, while his record over this course and distance is 2 wins from 2 runs.

Susan Johnson’s 8yo has won 4 and been placed in 5 of his 17 runs in class 5 events and is rated just 1 lb higher than for his last victory over this course and distance in 2014, since when he has only finished outside the top 4 on 2 occasions.
Richard Johnson will be riding THE LAST BRIDGE, as usual all of which suggests that the combination are worth supporting Each Way at 10/1

Octagon must have a fair shout in the 7th at Haydock - early money into 5/2 from 7/2

There's 5 or 6 that could win,it's a very competitive handicapp.

God Save The Queen.
I send my tips by pigeon these days.

R3 Taunton Board Of Trade. This looks a match between the selection and the likely favourite, Modus. Modus is rated 139 and Board Of Trade 132, but the latter is getting 10lbs, so is potentially well treated. Am also not convinced that Modus will be suited by the combination of very heavy ground (his very best runs have been on quicker ground) and today's longer trip and Board Of Trade is a confident selection to beat him after an excellent third in a hot race at Newbury last time. 5/2 is a very good price.

Potluck,
Hope you played Snowball,The Last Bridge a gallant 3rd.Needed another circuit lol
Winning jock below

Young Jackie in the last will come flying down the straight and nip the race on the line. I gave the voyeurs of ABC a Xmas winner now this is my New Year present. Don't expect others as I am a scrooge according to one prominent ABC poster, you alright DTF :ohmy:

R6 Taunton King's Apollo. Well handicapped, likes the track and should handle the ground. 6/1 a fair price.

R7 Taunton Exemplary E/W. This is a very poor race, but the selection is at least in form, handles the ground and stays further than this. 5/1 is a good E/W price with only eight runners.

Chicken,Im always happy when I'm booking a trip thanks to those fantastic bookmakers and I was undecided where to go.To visit South Africa and watch cricket or go to Maldives.
I've found a resort that is all inclusive and the cricket could be one sided and I might be unfortunate to bump into the other Englishman.So I'm off on the 19th.
Chicken,I will think of you in cold,wet Scotland.
