I realise we're supposed to be like robots regardless but winning the first race on a Saturday is always relaxing. I was getting pretty disappointed by the end of the day though, so well done Jimmy Fortune for getting Sandor up.

Much quieter day today. Velvet Band is a possible but that's not much of a betting proposition at Evens.

Ayr 3:40 Ifatfirst is more appealing. You have to forgive his last run over course and distance and hope he doesn't pull as hard. 8/1 let's us do that £60 win.

And Federer is an obvious barking bet.
