Lucky beggar 12/1 10/1 ppower/sportsbook hills 9/1 365/betfred/corals/skybe
A 0-58 over 6fs three horses in here veterans re well hamdicapped on last seasons form but two of them are ten Lucky Beggar and Extrasolar and Highland Acclaim is nine,last season Lucky beggar got upto 70,Highland Acclaims last run on turf in 2019 was fourth off 73 in a 0-75 at Epsom only beaten 1 3/4ls,marks plummeted to 58 because of the aw runs,ran debut run of the season at ripon a 0-60 poor run will be interesting to see if it can regain anything like last seasons form in such a terrioble race..Similarly Extrasolar was rated 61 last season,hasn't won since august 2018,it's place runs in sellers giving horsres rated in the 60s last season siuggest its current mark of just 46 it isn't without hope in a terrible race...
Lucky beggars only won one race since June 2017,would be impossible to predict it winning but last season won off tomorriws mark of 60 winning easily at thirsk on seasonal debut,then respectable efforts fifth in a class 4,followed by a third off 69 and then a third over this C/D again off in a 0-75, 4 1/2ls infront of Extrasolar that ones git an eight pound pull for 4ls..A few more places at leicester and Donny off 69 and 70..Form then tailed off and debut appearence this season over 7fs,dropped into a 0-58 off 60 could easily run well even if rarely wins,siome very well handicapped veterans in this race if they come back to just last seasons form..
If the ground comes up soft then that would scupper one or two of the above and another veteran Champagne Bob could run well,has become well handicapped..
ew multiples

The Big House 9/1 365
The big house won two races last season first was off 50 over a mile at thirsk ad the other ovdr tomorrows c/d in a 0-60,one other run last season here was third over the c/d but on softer ground,also a couple of places in class 5s as well..Did finish infront of tomorrows favourite at thirsk and is better of at the weights,runs off 54 with thomas hammeer hansen taking off five pound,anywhere near its best decent ew chances..Christmas night and House deposit look the obvious alternatives.

Kitty cove 7/1 365/betfred/victor 13/2 hills
Kittys cove has had plenty of chances has won a 0-65 before last August off 49 at musselburugh hovers around in the high 40s low 50s plenty of form in slightky better races,was fourth in a 0-70 last time out at ponte although only seven runners..Obvious place chances if runs to its best, dropped into a 0-55..The negative for me is the jock Duran fentiman,he sees tio ride horses to get their marks down,then dave allan steps in,hopefully will be trying..
Wolves 5.30
Yukon mission 9/2 ppower/sportsbook Gossip 7/2 hills
Yukon mission an eight race maiden,race will need to be weak to win so probably looking at place chances again but at least has been consistent
especially last four runs with blinkers on,hard to evaluate the more unexposed runners will chance Gossip only three runs and only one piece of form a fifth here behind four 70+ rated horses...For second run that looked ok as got stopped in run a little,although the time was nothing speciasl
but runs off just 62,although run poorly on comeback at donny but back to wolves over that decent c/d run..If these all turn out to be useless Champagne Supanova and River kings although even more exposed they could run well at bigger pruces,if these were not to show their form or any [progression..
Wolves 8.30
Sea Forth 9/2 ppower/sportsbook 7/2 365/skybet False ID 11/2 365/hills/skybet 5/1 victor.
A load of dodgepots but 4 places an 8yr old and 7yr old,Sea forth hasn't been out of the first five in eight runs in 2020 over a variet of trips at wolves so should be about in this 0-55 and False ID last two runs here been third,both not looking like obvious winners but as long as some pace to aim at they both have obvious ew chances.
Bath 5.20
Magic shuffle 20/1 ppower/sportsbook Sicario 33/1 ppower/sportsbook
A couple of speculative ones,magic shuffle on second run for sean curran,nine runs on turf one win and four places won off 63 here at Bath over a mile,then three consecutive thirds over 1m2fs and 1m4fs all class 5s,runs were poor after that some on the aw never been placed on it and one on softer ground..A disappointing first run for Sean curran,mifdield at kempton trainer has a 19% strike rate 2020 if horse could run to any of last seasons for would be a quarter of current prices..running off 59.
Il sicario never wins one win back in june 2017,does run well he and last season was running in 0-70s a fourth and third at chepstow and over this c/d,came back this season ran poorly in a class five,tomorrow back into a class six if it could repeat best runs of last season would have a decent chance of getting near the places at a huge price..Runs off just 56 tomorriow with claimer taking the seven off,the jockey has an 11% strike rate so not totally useless..
