Looking at this when I can and am starting to feel pretty good about Slade Power (not Sole Power). (Although I do like the horse!)
I think that behind Shea Shea and Sole Power, Moviesta, Swiss Spirit and Spirit Quartz will be next by race time (in terms off odds). Slade Power might go up to like 12/1? 15/1 (or maybe I have my head up my ass)? Hamish McGonagall (who I hope has a sister named Minirva  ) should go right to the front and hopefully Mr. Channons nice runner Bungle will not be riiiight behind (I like him).Anyway yeah... Slade Power is who I'm looking at. Good luck to my favorite horse in the race, the cool old man Borderlescott, and to the Kingsgates and to the Channon runners Bungle Inthejungle and Miss Lahar (who are both at 66/1 and will go higher I'd imagine).

Congrats to Pat as I'd imagine he had City Style... a horse I gave up on long ago.
He paid pretty nicely.

Excerpt... Steve Drowne back from depths with Nunthorpe win on Jwala at York • Jockey's career almost wrecked by freak illness • 40-1 winner expected to run in Abbaye and retire This was the sixth Group One success of Drowne's career, which is half a dozen more than most jockeys can hope to record, but also the first of what is effectively his second career, following a year on the sidelines in 2012. It was a season when most of his regular employers moved on to new riders and the greatest frustration for Drowne was that for much of the time he was not fighting his way back to fitness but instead trying to slash his way through a jungle of red tape. Drowne passed out in his garden in March 2012, and was initially diagnosed as having suffered a seizure. A later diagnosis – that a viral infection had interrupted the blood supply to his brain – followed a few weeks later but by then the DVLA had removed his driver's licence. Without a licence to drive, a jockey cannot be insured to ride and it took many months of effort, and the intervention of his local MP, before the DVLA relented. "I spent five months getting a second opinion to be proved right," the 41-year-old Drowne said after his victory, "and then another five months arguing with the DVLA. It was so frustrating, because what I had would have kept me out for a fortnight, that's all, but because [of the initial, different diagnosis] it just took so many tests to overturn it. "When I put my report into the DVLA, it took them five months just to look at it. If you miss a month, you miss maybe 30% of your horses when they run but, if you miss a year, you miss 100% of them. If any good people win on them, they'll keep the ride, so you're left with the ones that can't win. I've basically had to start again." http://www.theguardian.com/sport/201...unthorpe-jwala
