    I took another look at Might Bite's RSA this morning and that finish was even crazier than I remembered. Whisper must have gone a length up in the run in so full credit to MB for getting back up on the line. This is a fascinating race and will hopefully be a fitting spectacle for the Boxing Day crowd. Whisper ew at 8/1 will do for me. Vicenzo Mio with the excellent young claimer Bowen at Fontwell at 6/1. Elsewhere a few multiples. Kim Bailey seems to have good hand at Huntingdon and Dickie Johnson goes to Wetherby for a nice looking book of rides. Finally an outsider Dedigout @ 50/1 in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby. Runs off 135 in this having had a pipe opener for is new yard at Newcastle. Although a veteran it's not all that long ago that he was running in much loftier company than this over in Ireland. Good luck everyone.

    It is very possible that everyone (alost everyone) is under estimating Bristol de Mai through a ground dependancy theory that actually may not exist.

    Debuchet in the first at Leopardstown is exciting. Won’t be backing him but his Champion Bumper exploits put him very high up the novice hurdle ladder.

    If he was a Willie runner instead of Mags we’d be looking at 8/11 instead of 11/8 so you could argue there’s a bit of margin to be had there.

    Will be waiting to the last second to make sure 8 jump off in the King George and if they do I’ll be on Whisper each way.

    Apart from that Footpad versus Death Duty is a highlight.

    3.40 Kempton Minella Charmer 25/1

    A horse I've been watching for just over a year is Minella Charmer. He first caught my eye in the novices chase where Cole Harden made his chase debut (Wetherby in December 2016). He travelled really powerfully that day before coming to grief 4 out and that has somewhat been the story of his career since. After finishing a decent 3rd to Gala Ball and Bivouac over fences at Exeter, he was switched back to Hurdles at Newbury in March and was still going really well when reaching for the 2nd last and falling. It was a similar story on his seasonal reappearance at Chepstow - after travelling sweetly round with stablemate Elgin he couldn't go with them as the pace quickened after the 3rd last and came down at the second last when well held.

    Alan King states on his website: "We also run Minella Charmer, who missed Haydock on Saturday because of the soft ground. He has now fallen three times, including back over hurdles, which is frustrating as he has jumped hundreds of hurdles at home. There is a theory that he has been getting a bit short of oxygen, so we have given him a wind operation, but I stress that such things are not always the magic cure that people think.”

    I think Minella Charmer is a lot, lot better than he has shown to date and hopefully the wind operation will help him finish off his race. Off 134 today he can go very close at tasty odds.

    The form of her win is very worrying she beat the Nicholls horse who was second after ploughing through all the fences and beat some tired runners and Desert queen who is very inconsistent. She beat elegant escape by 3l compared to Ballyoptic who beat him 13 1/2 L ok he was beat last time out by black cotton but he had to make his own running which didn’t suit him and can easily be excused the market has got these two the wrong way wrong and BALLYOPTIC @ 4/1 is a great price!!

    Just looking at that race now Oddy and there is money coming in for Doesyourdogbite, to which it is currently sat at 8/1 from 16's... Form guide shows 6000-00 which for now has stumped me as to why such a drop... Then again Jonjo could do with a winner coming in recently and maybe this is the one today... nudge, nudge wink, wink...
