1.50 Ascot The first two in betting look way short at less than 3/1 each. Given the conditions you couldn't be confident when you consider they are a shade of odds-on coupled. Delire D'Destruval appeals as a 6YO with potential for more this season. He's generally consistent enough and seems to go well fresh. Whether he will cope with really heavy ground is a slight question but you could probably say that about most of them today. Each-way at 10/1 4 places seemed a reasonable angle on a day where not many races appeal. Merry Christmas.
"Other races - Paisley Park un-backable, Riders On The Storm, Espoit Du Guye, and Crievehill and at Haydock - The Hollow Ginge and Chti Balko" Mini boom. First one in, hope it's not the last!
haydock,2 05: well,its a bit of a shot in the dark,but i go with the outsider SECRETE STREAM here.i find it quite interesting that he did go the same route last season,running at the end of april unplaced,before scoring here.so,very possible,hes been prepared for this for some time.decent e w value..
well,youre on a real roll at present! haydock,2 40: TOMMY WHITTLE CHASE a good mix of young and progressive as well as experienced contenders here.ive managed to take two out for me,DAKLONDIKE and vintage clouds.on their best form,both are serious players today,but the latter has never had an impressive strike-rate,albeit in top company,but that slightly swings it into the formers chances.he stays forever,goes in the ground,and should run a another big race today.
Just doubles Oddy - I rarely do luckies and the like, although the last time I did a yankee (October) 3 from 4 brought a very nice profit! Nass - not fully tuned up? Or quirky?
I reckon David Noonan will be more tired than Daklondike after that, Ginge never in the race. Crievehill next up .....
yes,very possible,he is.. ascot,3 35: a bit sad,that harambe is not running,as he did me a big favour in the greatwood hurdle last time out,but so i go with one of his victims there,QUOI DE NEUF.this is a very unexposed contender,and he ran a big race in that race,only giving way late on.theres surely a lot more to come from him..
