Another piece of advice.... never change your mind and always stick to the rules you set yourself. Today I foolishly lifted my ban on backing any mount of Richard Hills and paid the price.
Ok, I can acccept Habaayib was beaten by a better horse, but his ride on Last Three Minutes in the finale was a complete joke! Why oh why was he in the position he was in a couple of furlongs out, just as the horse started to hit top gear he ran straight up the back of a couple of retreating horses going for a gap that was never gonna materialise in a million years.
Interesting one tonight in the 19.30 at Leopardstown - Napa Starr runs for the Charles Byrnes yard in a 1m1f apprentice handicap. I think this is the only flat horse he has in training, and apparently he is very confident about its chances. Very positive booking in the form of Paul Townend too - 9/4 should be taken IMO.

TNS to beat Fram at 13/10 (Victor Chandler) I think this is probably the first time TNS have actually played at home in Europe as they used to have to play at Newtown because of ground grading, 2-1 down from the first leg they are a decent outfit and should be able to get a win tonight and that away goal might see them through overall.
Motherwell are 3/4 with the same firm and much as I'd like Llanelli to beat them I fear the scots will get an early goal and then run riot as happened to Llanelli last season in Europe after winning the first leg against FK Ventspils.

Went off 5/4 and done on the line in a photo
Can't believe it, looked like it won, photoprint will be interesting.

How can the Sun advise Kevin Pietersen getting a ton in the second innings as "Diamond of the Day" at 6/4???
He has had 16 in 93 test innings.....perhaps making him a 5/1 shot at best.
and 2 in 21 v Austraila.....you'd say 10/1 give or take.
Even against Bangladesh a century is a decent achievement and 6/4 against them would be very tight but recommending that in the 2nd innings as a great bet in a national paper, I do not think so.

On paper you would think so but worth checking the team news. Wigan have a number of injuries as you said plus Hock suspended and have recalled players from loans who go straight into the squad. Catalans have included Greg Bird in their squad.

Couldn't trust a team who in six outings have only beaten Celtic. Two very unpredictable teams. HKR may win but I just couldn't back either them or the Bulls with any confidence.
