wot u mean drici?
stan steer from c4 teletext?

[girt_giggler]

ah didn't really think he was up to much anyway to be honest, anytime i looked at his selections anyhow.  At the end of the day chaps stan steer and boys like him are just other people with their own opinion.

I do however follow the 'Late Whisper' on c4 with a fairly decent success rate.

The boys on p510 who 'tip' selections on wide range of sports are usually not far off the mark either.

Right I dunno how reliable this is but my da got a tip from the owner of this horse said as long as it wasn't racing against Forpadydeplasterer it should go well, and forpady isn't running

The horse is HUME RIVER in the 3.50 at fairyhouse, trained by jessica harrington and won last day out at the maze..

Its 7/2 at the moment... Might be worth a small win wager, not worth each way at the rpice, won't get your stake money back...

Shut it you!! You know the drill, if it wins I want adulation, if it loses we never talk about it again!!

9/2 with Victor Chandler...

GOOD FELLA has a fine record at this venue and has a good opportunity to enhance his reputation as a course specialist. The eight-year-old, who owed one of his three hurdle wins here last season to a technical disqualification, had his first three races over fences at Navan before getting off the mark with a convincing victory over Sizing America here at the beginning of last month. He was given a very patient ride when stepped up to 3m in a Grade 2 at Naas on his latest start, but was unable to get to grips with the stamina-endowed Parsons Pistol.\n
Dropping back in trip here, Good Fella is likely to be tested by the 6lb-receiving Oscar Time, a bumper and hurdles winner who has notched three seconds and a third from four starts since being sent over fences. There was no disgrace in his 8l second to Rare Bob at Punchestown, though his 116 rating looks just a bit high given his failure to beat An Peinteir (rated 107) here on his previous start.\n
Hume River, who gave a below-par display in the race in which Oscar Time was third to Bridge Run here in November, returned to form when beating Judge Deed at Down Royal and seems almost sure to challenge for a share of the money.\n
Rock Diplomat, a former point-to-point winner who numbered Good Fella amongst his victims when winning a 3m maiden hurdle at Naas almost two years ago, spent all of last season on the sidelines. He finished a distance behind the third horse on his comeback in the race in the Punchestown event in which Oscar Time was second to Rare Bob, but may get a great deal closer with that outing under his belt.lt.
