That was a nice performance by Drumacoo there. He did have some useful form behind Coleur France (rated 132 over hurdles) and he also beat Roi Des Francs (rated 143 over hurdles) which is useful form but it looks as if he can progress again from that if he stays sound.

Value At Risk might need to take a visit to Yogi Bear, connections would have to be slightly concerned now with 2 falls from 2 especially as time is running out to get a good run into him before March.
 
In the Tara Flow race I really like the form of Iftiraaq, who ran a fair race last time behind Alyson Monterg (who ran so well at Cheltenham on New Years) and I think he has a fair mark to start off on. He looks much more appealing at 14/1 rather than the short price on the jolly in a 17 runner field. I think the race is much more competitive than the market suggests.

EW money will do. Winner was really impressive
 
Value at Risk looks all risk, no value over fences so far. Hope his fortunes improve in time. It could, of course, be a ploy to keep his mark nice and low for the Centenary Novices Chase at Cheltenham.
 
El Indio has been really well backed in the 3.40 was a 20s chance...around 7s now..i put it up last night amongst others

Yeah , he has no confidence -which is unusual from that yard -g doubtful
if he would have got near the winner who jumped like a natural as stick says, some fine horses in Pauling's yard
 
Blimey that Hobbs horse has appreciated the drop in grade!

I like LIGHT FROM MARS 6.40 Kempton 10/1 tonight. Dropped to a handy mark and many positives, trip, track and jockey booking all in his favour. Must go close!

Nice shout. Dht, but it's better than a kick up the arse as they say.
 
Shout Stick!!

Waiting on TRIPLE DREAM in the next to complete a small eway double with GIANTSTEPSAHEAD - won at 16/1 (before anyone says it ALERT!!)

Wish I had backed DRUMACOO earlier - I did last time but it got pulled out and didn't fancy it today, filly sucker!!
 
If Lukaku had a first touch you would be looking at a top top striker.

Had a bet at the HT/FT draw at 5's in this game tonight. City will dominate possession and Everton trying their usual counter attack, has potential for plenty of goals but I'd say both would take a 1-1 and see what happens next time out.
 
Noooo, an injury time goal <yikes> Funnily enough the Toffees crushed me a few weeks back too when Cleverly scored a header with the last play of the game when I had a 0-0 draw backed at 11/1. Gotta love the footy <laugh>
