PP's hatred of Alex Ashwood knows no bounds
He thinks he was not trying on Loyola Golf in R7 at Shep on Wednesday
But why would you drive a horse so beautifully from 11 to get the 1x1 on the favourite's back if that was your intent
Sure he got pocketed (but battled to line anyway). This is where PP tells us that winning driver Ellen Tormey lives with Alex and girlfriend Tayla and that Jack Laugher who did the pocketing is an item with Jack
Except for leader Rocknroll Ranger compounding badly to run last after getting the blows in the market, it just looked like another race to me

I can however imagine that 'who is going out with who' in the driving ranks could make things harder/trickier for the stewards
Tough penalties for any below par drives and monitoring of betting (along with pre race swabbing) are however the answer to most integrity issues - we need to be tougher but I don't see anything in Shep R7
