They do this all the time, they nominate their horses for races all over the shop and then dont accept, eg 1/03 Sandown race over 2400m Gallic, Refute, Renewable all nominated none accept, why? Well when nominated horses get the right to perform trackwork on the course during the week, so them three would've have all had a good gallop on the lush grass for free.

Wouldn't be the first time they pulled a shifty.
Mr ed if i remember correctly did you say you had an interest in Paternal?
I backed him last week after a super first up run, slighty dissapointing but had come off a long break, with a nice weight drop he might be a place chance tommorow, your thoughts on how he should go tommorow would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Not really happy with last start, very good race tommorow but drops 7kg, with (Moor on). He will be fitter, and Oliver said he felt as good as ever but just needs fitness, he had a really good blow after the race aswell. Don't go overboard he's still not at peak fitness, but could run a drum.

In saying thay Oliver had no hesitations picking Our Smoking Joe as his mount. Possibly for future commitments, but that could be a lead, he won beautifully first up over 1000 last prep. Stamen's also one of my favourites, who will be over the odds after his uncharacteristically bad run last start might be a few trifectas for me.

thanks for that, Paternal certaintly owes me nothing over the course of its career, i might have a small place bet perhaps, see if he puts in a good run, and then follow up. Hope he goes well for you.

actually my old man owns the share, but yeh i have won plenty off him. Thought he was gone after he was injured last year so anything is a bonus, and its great just to see him back.
