2009 Challenge Fund (£12590- £180 in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £120

Chucked a couple of hundred away again yesterday – hardly top form heading into Epsom.

1:45 – Lovelace has been eyecatching lately but will need to be charged up to defy a penalty. Confront looks a fair price at 6/4 and over.

2:45 – I'd much rather have both the progressive Duncan and the classic winning Look Here on my side at roughly the same price as perennial loser Youmzain by himself.

4:05 – We already have Oh Goodness Me and High Heeled ante post, and to be honest though you have to be forgiving about the form (particularly the latter last time out), at the prices I'm not inclined to change trains.

Fanshawe runs a couple of notebook horses this evening at Doncaster – just hope I'm not digging by then.

Confront £60 at 6/4 or better
Duncan £60 at 11/2ish
Look Here £60 at 11/2ish
Oh Goodness Me – top-up £40 at 14/1
High Heeled – top-up £20 at 50/1
2 x £15 trebles with Oh Goodness Me
2 x £10 trebles with High Heeled
