Don't get carried away, the ante-post market isn't what it used to be and actually since 1st Jan WH have been NRNB (non runner no bet), so the 'gain' from Sir Gino's defection will be negligible imo.

You're right about a lot of shorties though, the Festival looks like it could be run on very wet ground so that may help us.

I reckon it could be the Entain 'noise' this week that has given us a shot in the arm ...

MM's have played this like a fiddle for the last couple of days.

Often took it below 69p, but not for long and it also very fleetingly shot up to c.70p on a couple of occasions.

Tightly range bound it would seem.

In Per we trust for 'growth' ... Good job he's in charge of this and not Rachel from Accounts et al.

Quite the opposite this time 5eights!

Since your post people have been piling in!!

Because inflation is likely to rise again, meaning interest rates may well not reduce at the expected time and level.

Which is not good news for Evoke's debt level.

LWHL & Jonny are right.

Different market, but Foxtons yesterday gave a top notch TU for 2024:& the market response was similarly (at best) muted.

The jury (market) clearly remains out on the current government's 'growth' plans (very justifiably imo).

Only when interest rates start to fall will we see some momentum, and then with a degree of fragility.

And at this rate possibly down on the day!

What a market 🤷🏼‍♂️

Roger White (ex AG Barr CEO) took the helm today ...

... will hopefully bring some badly needed and long overdue impetus & direction to this sleeping giant.

Too right Newbie

Equal buys and sells today, all sorts can be read into that.

Life's a gamble, who dares wins ...

It's a photo finish, they've gone past together!

In this casino of a stock market?!

Absolutely no idea ... Seen these sort of rises the day before, before.

It could be back on it's ar$e tomorrow as much as it could be in the high 70's

Anecdotally, the 2 'shops' on Cheltenham racecourse on NY Day were very quiet all afternoon, and with poor presentation ... and it does make you wonder how (dis)connected the whole industry is when free to air TV has to abort the live Saturday afternoon slot as no contingency for abandoned turf fixtures was considered, let alone put in place.

Today's huge UT also gives food for thought.

Everything is clearly not as it seems ... Somewhere.

A small move back up in the last few days ...

All trade reports suggesting a scenario of further rent increases to come with a decline in supply.

Offset to some degree by the likelihood of higher mortgage rates alongside rising inflation.

Some you win, some you lose ...

A 12% SP drop in the last month is nonsensical, not least after the latest TU and irrespective of the acquisitions, which both imo are excellent and will give rise to further solid expansion in key geographies.

Further, there's been no substantial sell off; substitute manipulators for makers and there you have Mr Market. Patience is all that's needed ...

Hardly selling down.

.02% amounts to c.61k shares.

M & A activity just around the corner one way or another imo. Hold for gold ...

I recall buying tranches of 'old' Wm Hill shares for 38p, 48p & upwards in early 2020, which seems unbelievable now ... The sale price to Caesars in Apr'21 was 272p.

Things move quick in these environments ...

I see Nigel added a few more with some loose change on Friday.

Every little helps!

Plenty piling in here already today.

No signs of a breather being taken!

There must be an RNS(s) issued tomorrow ...

And within 'Hub & Spoke', the development of an out-of-London property management centre of excellence. Worcester?

No idea Stupmy but they've lost a big cheese today :-
