501 Bev - plenty to choose from but I've gone for Crazy maisie first time hcap 1pt ew 10/1 and Ashtead first time hood1pt ew 50/1 both 3 places

Rochebrune was 3rd but unfortunately a non-runner meant only 2 places paid out. Other than that, a complete blank and a loss of 25 points on the day and the bank is (not so) slowly being whittled away so fortunes need to turn, hopefully starting today.

Ocean Cloud . Has won both starts on the all weather and could add to that first time on turf 3pt win 4/1

205 Shamlan. Another that has won both latest starts. 2pt win 9/2

415 Chester - new stable Asean Legend 2pts ew 5/1

445
Another one with a shite draw. I liked the last run of Freedom and Wheat but he'll do well to overcome the outside stall so just 1pt ew 18/1 4 places.

Beluga gold beaten in a photo . Loss of 8.8 points on the day to cap a disastrous week and the total profit over the 5 weeks has been whittled away to a mere 10 points
I'm obviously going to have to be more selective this week to get back on the profit wagon.

EDIT - I've just spotted that Geremia was placed at 33/1 so profit stands at +18 for the five weeks

Catterick
300 Minute Walz -turf debut - 1pt ew 18/1 4 places

400 Lindwall - Sporting life says "turf form is uninspiring" but I'm hoping a move to this distance and/or the wind op could be the difference 2pts ew 7/1 4 places

510 Peggoty 2pt ew 7/1 handicap debut

710 Mr Rumbalicious hcap debut 2pt ew 10/1 4 places

810 Punda Maria turf debut 3pt win 7/2

Put my 3 tonight in with Punda Maria. Had Eljenob won ( 3/4 Length 2nd ) then PM would have been for a 65000/1 accumulator. Still got decent place money going on and more than hopeful.

I was hopeful too mate but a poor display. Pity.

Lindwall drifted to 18/1 and still managed to finish second which is possibly a lesson in itself and Firgie time won so gratefully back to a winning day with 17.6 points profit.
