It was a race run at a strong enough pace, and that was exactly what SOLWHIT required as he won his fifth Grade 1 race in nine months and put himself forward as the most likely winner of the Champion Hurdle.


This race was run at more of a Cheltenham pace than any other he has contested this season. He travelled well and jumped as fluently as he ever has, perhaps hit a flat spot for a few strides after the second-last, but really picked up well after a good jump at the last, putting distance between himself and some good horses.


Everything suggests the particular test of 2m around Cheltenham in the Champion will suit him better than most, and in addition the way his jumping has improved this season takes away the one potential flaw he has. He looks likely to take some beating in March.

Arkle tomorrow


The betting suggested that Nicky Henderson was going to collect a third win in this race from five renewals as RIVERSIDE THEATRE was well backed by punters. He made a good start to his chasing career with a smooth success at Newbury (the runner-up had already franked the form) and followed that up with another accomplished round of jumping. His winning record is impressive and he can make his way to the top if staying healthy. Connections suggested afterwards that he may go to the Arkle in March without another run as he goes well fresh, but they may find something in early February if they felt he needed more experience. His odds are much longer than they should be with some bookmakers for Cheltenham, merely because he does not had the same high profile as others.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?

      Just found these matches!

      Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.

      Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
