Celebrations at Perry Barr on Thursday. Paul Gebhard continued his decent run with a £30 wins on 8-11 and 7-2 chances for a £86 profit bottle of Asda champagne But it could have been more. His own bitch Drahbeg Dart struggled in the A1 and let him down for another £30 win and a 46-1 treble.

Hannah Prince was also on the 7-2 winner Sawpit Segovia and is sipping £125 Moet & Chandon. Robert Short is in the chippie necking a bottle of Sarsons. (-£100).

A football analogy to illustrate the Thursday night tipping at Newcastle. Jimmy Wright played like an ex-winger. He showed great early promise to skin the full back (£20 on a 15-8 winner) but then crossed the ball into the hotdog stand (with one last, and one KO’d) for a £42.50 loss. Jimmy Fenwick contributed nothing after being locked in the gents (-£100). Steve Anderson turned up with a cricket bat (-£100).

ROMFORD CANCELLED TONIGHT DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS

NOTTINGHAM

All eyes on Nottingham tonight where Mark Pierrepont takes on Alan Double Digit Bellis (in danger of becoming Alan ‘Not Seen in Running’ Bellis) and Peter Harnden, who might be described as a ‘Marmite character’ – except that some people like Marmite.
