‘Twas, the weekend before Christmas, sorry Cheltenham.
Try not to do your beans today if you are having a bet ahead of the big one.
As to yesterday, well, it started well, 3 points on at 5/1 with the wonderful, unrivalled, genius that is Hollie of Doyle doing the business for us again on the All-weather, I know it is The Festival soon but a sneaky bit excited about the Flat.
Nice of Baby Steps to also place at 10s, a nice 16.5 points profit on the day.
Quite a bit of racing today so let’s see what we fancy.
Wolverhampton
14:05 – SHIMMERING DAWN at 12/1 looks a cracking each way bet, consistently performing with speed figures to be noted, we also back Highland Dress.

LUST FOR GLORY 25/1 0.5PT EW
