    Yes, it's Saturday and an opportunity to watch some proper horses in some proper races.

    This does mean that, as usual, we are presented with a raft of imponderables to consider. I have to say that any winners today will be seen as a bonus; you've been warned. The main point will be watch and learn. Cheltenham's round the corner and we'll need to bear in mind who is running a trial and those that have the heat turned on for today. So, a successful day for me will be any winners plus ...

    Lots of poor racing to contend with, as ever, during midweek.

    I thought I'd share a few I've done today but for no other reason than for your information. There's probably only one amongst them that I promised myself I would back next time out*.

    Triple Nickle - Ling 3.35 20/1 Ew

    Long time for me to be off the blog.

    The truth is, I've had such a good January that, when things started to tail off a little for me, I've completely restricted my bets.

    I think that I may loosen the purse strings a little to see how we go.

    Towards that end I will have one main go today:

    Benny Baloo - 4.35 Market Rasen 3/1 Win

    I previously wrote in my notes:

    Ambion View

    “Ambion View will have one run in a bumper then go novice hurdling. He is a beautiful horse” said Joe Tizzard

    Third in the Wincanton bumper at 40/1 on Boxing Day he’ll presumably now be off over hurdles and up in distance which will suit. Might be interesting.

    Bravemansgame

    I thought he would have won the King George but for getting tangled up with Shiskin when he slipped. He would have been at his peak for this and with Galopin ...
