I hope some of you joined me on Israel! Remember that result next time the conspiracy theorists get going. Sir Rembrandt also lightened up a pretty grey day yesterday.
Today looks a day for caution. Rain on what looked to be slightly over-watered ground is a recipe for chaos. Throw in a wheelbarrow full of horses making their seasonal debuts and it's not a day for backing short ones.
In such circumstances, and when you want to watch but don't trust yourself not to have twitchy fingers, I'd suggest a decent sized placepot works as the best form of defensive betting.
I will put up a bet for the challenge, but it's not one I'll be pressing up on!

Dev ran a cracker last time, chasing a furious pace and still staying on for a very creditable third. The signs are that he's improving and has a lot of valuable experience against this lot. On the other hand, he's not classy like some of these, the course isn't ideal, and the ground may not help. Still, he's 33/1 in an 8 runner field so we shouldn't be too picky! Either play ew or play betfair and load the place side of the bet, with the added insurance against non runners.

Dev £5 win at 30/1+ and £10 place at 5/1+
Nice - still in the placepot as well.
