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.

Players celebrating with sucking their thumb and sticking the ball up the shirt should have the goal wiped off. Similarly, sticking their fingers in their ears after a goal = sending off and a 3 game ban.
