1pt each-wayI was seriously tempted to ask my editor if we could just regurgitate last week’s column as most of the horses I intend to back are ones I did back last Saturday but who didn’t run.

That was largely because Haydock was abandoned, so I didn’t do much financial damage, except in the case of an ante-post bet on , who almost certainly wouldn’t have beaten Lord North in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket had he taken his chance.

The ground had gone against Bedouin’s Story, but he was withdrawn due to an abscess, which evidently was not that serious as he is now set to line up in the bet365 Challenge Cup (3.10) at Ascot.
