‘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.

SHIMMERING DAWN 12/1 1PT EW

HIGHLAND DRESS 4/1 2.5PT EW

14:40 – OH THIS IS US is again too big at prices, we will take the 14/1 each-way, as with the last race we also back Tadleel at a lower price.

OH THIS IS US 14/1 1PT EW

TADLEEL 4/1 2PT EW

15:15 – LORD RAPSCALLION, see above we take it at 10s with him down in the weights and we back the consistent BRIAN THE SNAIL.

LORD RAPSCALLION 10/1 1PT EW

BRIAN THE SNAIL 8/1 1PT EW

Sandown

13:15 – nothing of interest.

13:50 – THE MICK PRESTON is our selection in a race full of unknown quantities.

THE MICK PRESTON 8/1 1PTEW

14:25 – nothing of interest.

15:00 – nothing of interest.

15:35 – A speculative fancy, Lust for Glory 28/1 only a small play as the ground may be an issue but proven at the distance and when carrying heavier weight.

LUST FOR GLORY 25/1 0.5PT EW

16:10 – INISFREE LAD proven at the weights but potentially wobbly over distance, a selection at the prices.

INISFREE LAD 17/2 1PT EW

16:45 – no bet.

Ayr

15:42 – no bet

Hereford

16:02 – no bet

16:37 – no bet

Chelmsford

18:50 – no bet

19:20 – JACK THE TRUTH, performing well at higher weights, well drawn, fits the bill for a nice each-way play.

JACK THE TRUTH 6/1 2PT EW
