Well deserved Rob.
Cheers.
Ling 2.40 Kings Request
Ex Stoute horse who has had the look of finding his right conditions and the money has come in the last 5 minutes.
Great call Rob thanks
Put the bet on before I went out and just got in for the good news
Superb, Rob
I'm a couple of weeks behind on my Lingfield figures, so I'm not confident about anything today.
LING 3:30 NEVER A QUARREL
Had a quick look at the initial figures and would seem to have clocked well LTO. I don't have time to take it any further though, so I can't go with it.
ROYS LEGACY has been in my notebook for a little while, and could well run a good race today back at this CD. At 12's looks possibly worthy of an EW if there are reasons to oppose Never A Quarrel.
Good luck today and all the best for 2014.
Ling 3.00 Nubar Boy Win @ 8.0
Indian Affair. saver
Iv'e gone in balls deep on NB, even though these Lingfield sprints are tough to call and with another two entries this week he could well find his one in one of those races, but a win in this will at least guarantee him an entry into the weekend qualifiers that start at the weekend
Regardless, he looks on a cracking mark off 59, as he's never run off a mark this low and drops back to his ideal conditions, having run over 7f after a lengthy break and last run looked full of promise.
As usual with these races will need some luck for the gaps to open.
Indian Affair may get involved with a pace battle with Rise To Glory, but I thought he did really well to finish 2nd off a killer early pace, 2nd run back. I'm prepared to forgive last last when drawn out wide and drops into C6 for the first time. The advantage of a pace battle will hopefully create the gaps needed for NB.
No surprise to see strong support for the old Street Power, who they want to retire on a win and on a winning mark, but is just too short.

Truckin all Night 14.45 Punchestown, big run expected
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Racing Pulse 12.10 Cheltenham unbeaten ex Ml Winters
Won ptp bumper and hdl lto by 17L
Serious animal
Grand Vision (1.55) hasn't run since placing in the 2012 Albert Bartlett. Couldn't find the same finish as his previous run as the ground had gone against him.
Reportedly flying at home, the same track on much softer ground should see plenty of improvement, and the current 9/2 is disappearing fast.

Southwell selections.
12.15
Royal Marskell, staying on well over shorter distances on turf on soft and decent 2nd at Lingfield, this C/D should suit, Push Me for the F/C.
12.45
Stand Guard, loves this track, will take a chance on it beating the odds on fav.
13.25
Money for Johnstons horse Layl this am, but can't back a horse with "found nil" twice running at this track! St Ignatious has it all to do from his highest ever rating and only just got up over a furlong further lto, which would seem to rule out Back burner as well. Masterful Acts victories have come over further and may not burn these off over 12fs, which leaves us with the bottom 2 Magica and Returntobrecongill.
2.00
Very open race, couldn't back anything short in this.
Prohibit was fav for the Prix de L'abbaye 2 years ago, bit of a comedown for him! Cowell has 3 runners inc likely fav Silken Express.
For an EW interest i'll go with the winner of this race 2 years ago Even Stevens who wasn't far behind Equitania and Silken Express lto on its 1st run back here for ages and has a 7lb claimer on top today.
Alfie Spinner is still well handicapped and the 12.45 at Cheltenham doesn't look as good a race as the London National was last time out.
SILKEN EXPRESS 2.00 SOUTHWELL
Silken Express was only beaten a length last time in a race over course and distance that the first three home were drawn 8-12 and 13. Silken Express was drawn in one and is much better drawn today. She is 6lbs better off with Equitania for a head and short head. She finished just under 2ls ahead of Even Stevens who should turn the form around on today’s terms if you take the claimers 7lbs into consideration but he will be in a speed battle. Silken Express won a 0-80 here in May and everyone of the first seven home have come out and placed. Four have won five races. It is the form of the second horse that gives this piece of form a solid look. Demora went on to win twice, the latest off a 12lbs higher mark in a 0-105. She was also beaten 5ls in a Group 3.
Most of these tend to win in their turn but five of them like to make the running which should set this up. It is interesting that Cowell has turned up mob handed in this, probably to keep the weight off the mare’s back. Silken Express can sit just off the pace and get cover and continue her improvement in the hood.
DOUBLE ROSS 2.35 CHELTENHAM
Double Ross looked like a horse ahead of his mark when winning the December Gold Cup over this course and distance. It looks very strong form as he had the first and second from the Paddy Power Gold Cup, the first and second of a 0-150 and the second in a 0-145 all behind him. The top four in the weights of that race had an average OR of 149 compared to 145 today, so in effect he is meeting lesser class horses. 8yo have won half of the last 14 runnings of this race. In fact 11 of the 14 were won by horses aged 8 or 9. Double Ross’s brother, Mr Moonshine, was rated in the 150s when he was an eight year old and he could follow in his hoofprints.
Emral Silk hacks up at Catterick on first start since Sue Smith and Jonathan England were punished for schooling him in public in November.
Over to you Harvey.
"The owls are not what they seem"
Giant Bolster looks a nice e/w price in the 3m hurdle at Cheltenham running off a mark 14lb below his chase mark at his favourite track. I'm never keen on ex flat horses over 3m so want to take on Whispering Gallery.
I'm clever enough to ask the questions i'm too stupid to answer
I like ACKERTAC in the 2:30 at Cheltenham and he's a decent price because of the short priced favourite. A false fav on my speed figures.
Thanks Dan, backed it at 13/2 with 365 EW, makes up for the dissapointing efforts earlier, shouldn't have ignored the course form of Masterful Act.
Zarkander has to be a bet in these conditions, on this track and with the pull in the weights.
