    Well, I called the race/result right anyways. Hopefully the start of a good day. Reverant Cust probably worth keeping an eye-on in future.

    I've had a fairly significant bet on Dinaria des Obeaux and The Flying Sofa in a double at 8/5, and a smaller bet with Mullaghboy in a 13/2 treble. Pretty much all I can find across today's cards.

    Fakenham 3:55 - BISOUBISOU

    7/1..Win & Place

    Track conditions at present are soft, hopefully the meeting goes ahead. There's plenty of snow all over the country. Trainer Olly Murphy runs two here. The first one is Flow With Eve, but I'll pass her over, as she's been off the track since last April. She carries a big weight which is not ideal in heavy ground. The second Olly Murphy trained horse is definitely appealing though at 7/1. BISOUBISOU is the horse in question. She receives a lot of weight. Fergus Gregory takes off six pounds which I'm happy with. He's ridden two winners from four rides the last week, (both wins coming for trainer Olly Murphy).

    Bisoubisou improved when fourth last time at Market Rasen when having her first go at handicap hurdle company. She was stepped up to two miles four furlongs this day, on similar soft-ground that's forecast. My reasons for liking her are that her jockey is bang in form. The mare receives weight from the big guns. She gets the same conditions as when she showed the improvement the last day. 7/1 is a fair price. She could be an each way bet too, although early-indications show the price is already getting shorter.

    Island Brave(6.20W) ran a career best in a truly run c/d race 2 ago, and both 2nd & 3rd have gone on to win subsequently.
    Didn't stay a steadily run 2m at Lingfield latest (took it up 4f out in a sprint finish and caught by 2 proven stayers) and the general 4/1 looks very inviting.

    A 6/4 chance and it's not even lunchtime yet!!!

    Hopefully she obliges.

    Cheers lads. Well done Reet. .

    I mentioned on Betfair Hurdle Thread...that Spice Girl was behind the very talented horse and Betfair Hurdle Favourite Lalor the last day. Spice Girl under Dickie Johnson will be a hard -nut to crack in Leicesters 2:05. It's not rocket science, I'm suggesting that Spice Girl is a horse for any doubles or trebles tomorrow.

    In the 1:45 at Wetherby, BANDOL, (Win and place), is the best bet on the card. This is the type of horse who can win a race after falling or unseating the time before, so don't be put off by recent form figures. He likes heavy going, has won several times off similar marks, and is coming back from a short break. This isn't necessarily always a good sign, but for a horse like Bandol, it could be what it takes..... to see him put his best foot forward again. He races with an 8lb lower hurdles mark compared to chase mark.

    I have to back Purple Harry today; if the Purple Harry I saw win at Kelso turns up they won't see which way he went, but it's a big 'if'. And I always back Adams rides anyway...

    Apologies for this, didn't run how I thought it would.

    MARMONT is too big-a-price in the 3:50 at 10/1 win and each way. He's placed four times from nine starts, prefers cut in the ground which he'll get plenty of today, and the Dam sire was Rock Of Gibraltar who won big races on soft/heavy going. This race won't take as much winning for Marmont on a mark of 99. He has a good each-way chance.
