No challenge yesterday which means – unfortunately – we have to look back to Saturday and Sheffield!

Imagine the proud mother. Telling the ladies from the church coffee morning about her incredible gifted son, the ‘straight A’ scholar, destined for Cambridge, plays rugby for the county. . . only to be interrupted with a phone call from the police station. . . .Being charged with what!?! Drunkeness and lewd behaviour?’

The embarrassment!

Yes, of course, the Sheffield trio, a better investment than gilt bonds.

Doh! 3 x -£100

NOTTINGHAM

The last Nottingham selections before the break. Big Mark will finish off the month in profit – currently £112.50 before tonight’s effort. Terry Urquhart needs a £145 win to break level. They are joined for the first time by local owner Bill Frederick.

The views:

Mark Pierrepont:

Bill Frederick
Piemans Bill (R4 T6) Absolutely thrown in off this mark and only himself to blame if he don’t take advantage £100 win
 

Nigel ‘Cash Machine’ Tanner

Classy Mary Lu (R6 T5) Should be four lengths in front at first bend and this puppy capable of improving. She has A 28.92 on the card that more than good enough to win this. I expect to be 6/4  £100 win
