    Scrap this comment...for some reason I had him on 138 today when actually he ran off 135, which is even better. E.G...he was raised 8 pound for winning the Bet Bright last season, so if he won the race again he would probably still get in The Kim Muir. Unlikely that he could do both but worth noting.

    Im having a stab at Miracle Of Medinah in Leopardstowns 3:05 tomorrow. I just think 114 is a nice rating to start off with and the price of 6/1 is worth playing. Also having a go at Neil Kings horse called Cubswin in Doncasters 12:25. Ex Roger Charlton trained and looks to have every chance tomorrow.

    Red Stripes (2.25 S) would've won over c/d lto, had his inexperienced jockey been able to switch the whip.
    No such problem anticipated today with Andrew Mullen up, and the current 6/1 looks generous.

    That extended 2m2f novice chase at Haydock was painful viewing and anybody tuning in for the last half mile would have thought they were watching the finish of a 4m marathon.

    He surely won't find any better opportunity to exploit the rating in what is not the most competitive hurdle ever seen. He could easily be 10-15 pound higher already based on his novice hurdle runs. He's pitched in the race off a low weight of 10:6 and 8/1 is worth taking.
    Well it was disappointing this day, declared for 1:00 at Catterick tomorrow. Who knows, might be worth putting in the New Years Day L15, but I've no idea about the opposition or price.

    Looks like a standard class 4 handicap hurdle at Catterick, really. No disrespect but the opposition looks naff and Pumaflor with the first time tongue tie can do better than last time.

    Midnight Malibu (1.45S) won a similar C/D race cosily 2 ago, and recorded a t/s figure which entitles her to cope with these. Subsequently close up in a much better race around a sharper Lingfield, a return to Fibresand should see her in a better light.and with the experienced Rachel Richardson claiming 3lbs,ahe looks well worth an e.w. pop @ the current 8/1 (dead 8 run).

    King Kevin (6.40) absolutely blew in in a truly run C/D race on Boxing Day and with enough pace seemingly assured, looks solid to repeat that feat with a 6lb penalty today.
    Still a little 5/2 available.

    And still won 3/4l. How much did he have in hand?

    Congrats Reet, well done.

    Unlike you my tipping has been awful in recent times, but for what its worth, I reckon Lost The Moon will win tonight in Chelmsfords 7:15. I just think he's probably an 85+ horse running on a mark in the low 70's tonight. I'm more than happy to 'go-in' at 4/1 or thereabouts!

    Robert Winston takes this ride but he also rides three other good chances on the card including a 6/4 favourite.

    I fancy he might be the man to follow tonight and a Lucky 15 could show a profit...
