CONCLUSION

This looks a good option for BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE (145), representing Dan Skelton.

recently with runners all over the place.

So much so, that I’ve decided to get our lorry serviced this week and get some new wheels put on.

Our new wagon has done 36,000 miles since we got it in April and it really is an essential bit of kit, so worth looking after when you get the chance.

These are the kind of things you can catch up with on a quiet week, and it’ll be good to get it done before the next avalanche of runners hit the track.
