    In the last race (16,25) Pachacuti 11/4 should be close.

    The good doctor is back in better form and he seldom sends horses to Fakenham but does have a very good record with the ones he does send

    An Marcach is very well handicapped and Getabuck could be interesting too.


    Also interesting that Christian Williams sends his horses on the long trip too.

    Getabuck looks great value at 6s and has a great chance it looks like the two market leaders may struggle in this . I have personally gone against an marcach with ben buie at 9/2

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you are well.
    Got my eye on three at Chelmsford.
    5:30 - Homer Stakes - Shown decent form when running a mile, but he has not performed well in 7f races and he's dropped down the weights. Should have a decent shout, back in a mile race. 5/1 on Bet365
    8:00 - Storm Catcher - Can't see anything beating him. Worthy fav. Won from a wide draw LTO, lightly raced horse. Evs with Bet365.
    8:30 - Letter Of The Law - His 1m 2f performance is probably the best performance from all the horses in the race, and now is 5lb better off. 10/1 with Bet365.

    Best of luck.

    I like CHIC AVENUE 11/1 in the 2:40
    Has looked to have some ability in bumpers and over hurdles and now she has her mark she goes massively up in trip. Shrewd yard and a very good claimed who rides this track well.

    Tallow for coal in the 3:00 at wincanton is a decent price. 12/1 best price. Ran really well when winning at lingfield before running no race at Newbury. The ground was horrendous that day with loads of horses underperforming so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    I picked out Ya Know Yaseff in the opener. Lowly mark but a point winner over 3 miles and has so far has been campaigned over shorter. Now stepped up to 3 miles. Opened at 33/1 yesterday and went as low as 6s. Drifted a bit since to almost an ew price. Have a great day

    16.45 Wincanton - Butterflycollector (by Flemensfirth out of Jolivia) is a half-sister to Sizing Tennessee (by Robin des Champs) and Mount Ida (by Yeats) who were both bumper winners. She is the first offspring of Jolivia by Flemensfirth so it will be interesting to see how she goes today with an eye to the future. No money for her this morning but 20/1 ew seems worth a small punt.

    But have you backed the conditionals riding for their yards at Fakenham?

    Best of luck to GB at Fakenham today, a tricky track but there is plenty of sound advice from members, so I see. Cannot improve on that, for sure, so have an enjoyable and successful afternoon, GB!

    In the (13:30) at Wincanton, a Class-5 Handicap Hurdle for Conditional/Amateur Riders, over a distance just short of 2m4f,, am having a very modest wager on the Flemensfirth gelding, Seymour Promise. Selection could well show improvement from previous performances? . Amateur rider, Mr L. Trott (5), on board for the Joe Tizzard yard.

    Bet365 offer 20/1 at time of writing, but the readily-available16/1 is a more realistic early price. E/W best option, of course.

    I started looking at that Fakenham card but was worried about catching something nasty from it. Absolutely rank.

    I've been trying to find one to beat Storm Catcher. The only one I found that could spring a surprise is Deep Sigh (which could have something to do with finishing my review of the form). Best price 10/1 at present. She ran a decent race over C&D in August in a fast time and has been running over shorter since. The return to 10f could be a plus and she carries 20lb less than she did that day. Maybe a reverse forecast?

    Just had a look at Oddschecker and Storm Catcher and The Bay Warrior are blue across the board. Struggling to see how the latter can reverse places with the fav which makes me wonder why the latter is blue across the board unless there is a ton of place money for it. Deep sigh is pink <laugh> but it doesn't put me off her getting placed. First time in cheek pieces. Almost tempted
