    One of huge interest for one of the morrow has to be PICK A LITTLE in the ‘lucky last’ at Brighton (5.00). Spoke about him earlier in the week and his form at this meeting for the past couple of years has been considerably above both (i) his current perch and (ii) the level of opposition he meets of the morrow. That above form, incidentally, saw him finish a very close 2nd in the valuable ‘Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy’ off 77 and 68, in '15 and '16, respectively. Recent history shows that he ‘peaks’ at this time of year and loves the venue – as well as those pair of runners-up efforts Pick A Little is also a 4 time winner at Brighton.

    Pick A Little will tomorrow race off just 62 his lowest perch since May 2015 when, coincidentally, he won over tomorrow’s course and distance. And although he is now a 9YO his last couple of runs have hinted that the ability still remains and at any rate the perchings reduction will certainly help him. As will the drop to class 6 company. He hasn’t ran in this grade since the above mentioned May 2015 race and those 2 runs in the ‘Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy’ were in much more loftier class 4 company.

    I would expect Pick A Little to be underestimated by the dear old punters tomorrow but as he has several ‘pluses’ against his name can see him going very close at decent, I say decent, odds, comrades.

    Good luck, troops.

    Haydock 15.50. PP (and a few others) being very generous with their 4/6 Sainted. Only beaten 3¼l in a G3 last week when hampered and running on. Connections must be looking for quick compensation. Should be a piece of cake. Surely those odds won't last long

    I did, and have acted on it!

    I am told that connections are quite sweet on the chance of PERNICKETY in the 4:30 at Brighton today (12/1)

    Had it fixed for this stick. Can't lose. So Alex Hammond has resorted to tipping odds on shots - whatever next?
