Hello regulars


2.30 Gladiatorus could be great. 5/2 seems good price for horse that has the best form by far of those in race. Small E/w Mac Love purely because I won on it at Epsom last time, and they've stumped up the money to enter it.


3.45 Soul City 35/1 Has nothing to find on 2yo form. Excuse last race last year and first this as tired and needing the run/unsuitable going (heavy) and 35s on bf seems a great price. 800k in prize money so far is almost double the odds on fav.


Good luck.

Buggie - one of the joys of racing is that each course, day, race is different so you can't really say 'done the races'. Although in Ladies Day at Ascot you've picked one of the most hectic!!!! Biggest tip - if you're going by train stay behind after the races, dance with the band at the banstand, always excellent fun when you've had a few and kind of helps with the crowds a bit ( and make sure you visit the ladies before you leave the course before the long walk up to teh station and the inevitable wait for a train....if you like it then try Fakneham on an easter Monday next for a totally different experience!

Scenic Blast great pick. Will he do a Choisir on Saturday??

Loved his white face. Such a strong action. Wille Carson pot kettle "ugly".

THE opening day of Royal Ascot left one major bookmaker surveying a scene of "carnage" after heavily backed favourites Scenic Blast, Mastercraftsman and Canford Cliffs proved the major culprits on a day of expensive woe for the layers.


While Strike The Tiger offered bookmakers some relief by taking the finale at 33-1, the afternoon's two other winners, Paco Boy and Judgethemoment, were also popular with punters.


Victor Chandler spokesman Neal Wilkins said: "Mastercraftsman, Canford Cliffs and Judgethemoment were truly awful results. Canford and Judgethemoment were massive losers in the book, and it was hard to take. It's been carnage here. They are going out of the trading room on stretchers."


:-$ Bookies embarrassed at Ascot. [favourites for the rest of the week will no doubt be shortened further]

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
