It was the implicit nap a few weeks ago when I said it would win and run up a sequence and everything else I mentioned that day won apart from the short-priced failure that was given nap status.
Impressive then, I'm keeping the faith.
So this time we are on even if our new theme tune is the New Christy Minstrels until further notice.
We will persevere as the Professor and I are off to Ascot next week to enjoy the hospitality of his bookmaker, Mr. Joe Coral, so it's not time to abandon hope yet. And, as part of the full package, the Prof. will be guesting here, too, in the Top 6 feature with his Top 6 Racehorses.
And I'm expecting him on the wire with his pick for tomorrow any minute now.

Here he is.
Hello, Professor.
Ah, in customary cavalier fashion, he thinks he can get a favourite beat.
Apples Shakira. 12.40 Cheltenham.
Best of luck, sir.
