There are five meetings taking place this afternoon, once again all on the level with the action coming from Bath, Lingfield, Catterick, Sandown and Leicester.  It sounds obvious, but one of the most important rules for me when backing horses is making sure that the trainer and jockey are in good form.  Jockey Seamus Cronin has won on five of his last six mounts - it doesn't get an awful lot better than that!

There is a seller at Leicester today but the trouble is that it is only over a mile for three year old's.  I always prefer races over 1m2f or further as they have more chance of staying two miles over timber.  We acquired champion hurdler Make A Stand from a Leicester claimer - I won't bore you with that tale today as you may have heard it once or twice before

I see that Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy hashit out at all the spending done by Premier League teams.  Mind you, he got £50 million for selling Kyle Walker to Manchester City.  Spurs are the only Premiership side that have not spent a penny - it will be interesting to see how they fare this season and if it proves you don't have to spend telephone numbers to enjoy success.  I bet if you gave the Spurs manager some cash he would soon spend it on some new players.

Manchester City will be playing the new season in plastic kits.  Manufacturers Nike use 16 recycled plastic bottles in each high tech garment.

I love it when the managers talk up their new signings.  David Sullivan says that my beloved Hammers new signing Javier Hernandez could be the team's best ever recruit.  Leave it out...what about Di Canio, Tevez or Payet?  He is not in the same league as any of those (and I am sure there are plenty more!).

Novak Djockovic is set to miss the US Open tennis and is facing 12 weeks on the sidelines while he recovers from an elbow injury.  I wonder if it is tennis elbow?  Couldn't resist that one!
