    As some may know, my main sporting interest is horse racing, and I gave someone a winner here last year (apologies, but I forgot which poster it was). But anyway, today is the St Leger Stakes at Doncaster.

    Anyone else into the horses? I've personally gone with Enceladus as I am a big Joseph O'Brien fan, Billy the Kid on board and the form plus first-time cheek pieces has swayed me. Christmas Day won me at Epsom a few months ago, but I am picking against that one today!

    It was me.

    Expecting a bit of rain this morning which might change things for the others.
    Pierre Bonnard might give it a go for a Aidan’s 4 on the trot.
    Christmas Day gone favourite this morning.

    Can’t see past Enceladus though.

    Looking at value, Highwayman is a good EW shout. I think Dylan Browne McMonagle might have been riding today if he wasn't injured, so Saffie has taken over the ride. Also won a good race at Leopardstown last time out, which also has a cracking racecard today!

    I am looking at the racecards now and will post if anything else stands out to me

    Haha, the only one I ever pay attention to is Megan Nicholls, for more than one reason!

    Are you doing SkyBet moneyback special on the 13:30 at Chester? Hard to look past the favourite but thinking to take a punt on Too Soon

    Francesca does make the coverage a bit easier to sit through, even when the tips go sideways :)

    Is that a euphemism?
