The 12/1 Lost Signal is a very big price IF he shows up in the Esher Cup on Friday. Really should be running as it’s his last chance to run off this mark and he’s not up to Group company.

The 20/1 An Peann Dearg in the Handicap chase at Leopardstown on Saturday is interesting. There is obviously a chance he has gone at the game but his last piece of form was when bolting up in this a year ago and the yard are in a nice vein of form.

The mad fancy prices have gone but the Paddy Powers 7/4 Jack Kennedy for the Irish jockeys title is still very big if a 5 months tie-up is your thing.

Popped down to Brighton for the weekend with Mrs O’C. Saturday marked 40 years since our first date (Friday the 13th(!) 1985). The weather certainly played its part.

The remaining 20/1 Grant Wood for the Great St Wilfred on Saturday looks very fair. Won the consolation a year ago and last weeks spin here should set him up nicely for this.
