Ayr is abandoned again today.

A disaster for the course who still hope that Gold Cup day will take place tomorrow.

Not good for us either - we were hoping to try our star horse Bedrock on the flat in the final race tomorrow but we have withdrawn him due to the heavy ground.

He will make his seasonal debut over hurdles now in October.

James Bowen who I tipped several months ago to win the 2017/8 apprentice title has been signed up by Nicky Henderson- he should be a shoe-in if he remains injury free.

Wild Hacked looks a solid each way bet in the 3.55 at Newbury today.
