Well done to the Scots on a crazy night of football.

In my local pub I watched the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and England games all at once on three different screens, it took some doing!While my boys were getting a hiding from lowly Cyrpus the mighty Scots were managing to hold off France for a famous 1-0 victory. Can they qualify for Euro 2008? Why the hell not. Scottish fans are obviously not counting their Chickens yet but what a brilliant start to this campaign they've had, remember France nearly won the World Cup!Also Northern Ireland had a good result in Denmark, the 0-0 draw will particularly please Lawrie Sanchez as his side had conceeded five times in their two previous games.England peppered the Macedonian goals but couldn't make the breakthrough at Old Trafford while poor old Wales got well and truely trounced by the Slovaks 5-1. Not a great night for Ceri Barnett and I!

Wishing on a star - 8:12 - 5/1

While he hasn't been especially impressive in his last two races 'wishing on a star' has fine abaility and should go close in this race tonight. Total stats read 41 races, 7 wins and 14 placed finishes. Not amazing statistics but the standard in this race is average. Im actually suprised that theses odds aren't a bit longer but 5/1 is still decent for this ADM Racing trained 3 year old colt.

Above the law - 8:36 - 13/1

This 2 year old colt has been waiting for over 2 months now for his first win. Above the law has finished second on five times and has been placed in eight of his fourteen races in total. He was especially unlucky not to have won on the 16th of September in a maiden juvenile race to Kepi Le Perneaut.As is the story of his career recent form has been solid. Above the Law has been placed in eight of his last ten races and should make that number nine tonight.

Swanees Boy (NZ) - 9:24 - 12/1

What a fantastic field we have going to the stalls in England for the Major Chase Tipster classic.In what is sure to be one of the best races on Getminted for some time my money is going on Swanees Boy to do well nad be placed at least. The 3 year old colt is running in his 30th race tonight. So far in a succesful career he has won in 7 and been placed in 11 of his 29 races. If he gets a good jockey tonight he could well go all the way but a placing is more likely.
