Not me but others I know made a few quid.
There is allegedly another coup for today called Pipers Piping, 5.00pm Kempton.
Backed from 20-1 this morning to 5-4 currently.
I'm not sticking my neck out to say it will win, just adding a reply to the OP. | | | |

Yes. Beaten by its 16-1 stablemate that they'd only trained for a week. Mmmmm. Nothing suspicious there then. Firm up the price of the favourite whilst the other one drifts to bigger price. | | | |

Just coincidence mate. Ladbrokes the vvankers made the other favourite by pretending it was backed everyone else followed suit. Was looney bin on? | | | |
