I've started to crap myself with Inglis Drever. The ground has come for him and he is the leading fancy with the press tipsters, but at the time I backed him there were question marks over a number of the others and these seem to have disappeared somewhat now. The enormity of what ID has to achieve, in regaining his stayers crown after missing last years race, seems to be growing in my mind by the minute.

I'm sure I'll lay some, if not all, off on Betfair. This means that my days interest could come down to just Monets Garden, a horse who isn't even my leading fancy in the Ryanair and who I have backed purely for value and may also lay off later! That and a cricket match between two minor countries which I won't even watch. Hmmm.
