I wont punt in the shire during race week, serviced levels traditionally go down and the conveyor belt speed gets cranked up to cover the overpriced accommodation that week.
Exactly, you'll just get stuck in the middle of a queue of over-excitable Irish punters.
In past years, there have been an influx of prossies looking to cash in but taking a look, there actually aren't that many this time. I think many are put off by the ludicrous price of accommodation, which is why you get some just doing outcall.
Taking a look, Frankie Scott is the only 'firm favourite' but she's outcall only, which is no good for many punters, and £150ph.
I see VIP Olivia has returned just in time for race week, though!
Going on her face, I wouldn't be surprised if she was one of the
runners in the 5.30 Novices Chase!
