Only bet of the day for me.

5.45 Wolves, Shoofly, around 2.0 now. There has been lots of money for this horse but I've had a very very heavy lay on it.

The Christmas money is on :D

1.50 Ascot
Hell’s Kitchen was given an easy time once his chance had gone on seasonal debut and can recapture the form he showed at Kempton on Boxing Day last year when giving 12lb and a beating to the now 152 rated Mr Whitaker. That rival has obviously improved massively since then but the selection looks well treated off 143. 6/1 taken

14:25 Ascot - Agrapart

(Well suited by ground conditions, proven stayer with stamina-packed breeding to match, decent chance. 5/1 with Laddies for me.)

Good call. I only tentatively backed Hells Kitchen. Impressive.

In the 2.15L, I've taken 3/1 the f/c. Wissachicken to beat Big Country. Mightn't seem much of a price, but it's difficult to see any other result.

Weird performance mate I've never seen it travel so well when I saw it bowling along like that in front i thought they won't get passed this...unreal scenes. Forms mental old West Approach there in the finish Wow ! Sam spinner uggh whats happened to him he's the new Mad moose by the looks of it. Also wasn't nice seeing the old boy Harry go down like that hope he's o.k.

Both looked fine when they went past us down the horsewalk on the way back in.
 
My theory re Sam Spinner was that he really didn't take to the new plastic hurdles they were using. He ballooned them even when loose.
 
Hibs to win at Ibrox today 6/1.

On their day, Hibs are very capable and the home side remains seriously over-rated. Neil Lennon will have his lot fired up as there has been bad blood between these two since Hibs won the Scottish Cup final three years ago.

Forecasted it with Barcardys, also in my multiples, as was Barcardys. I feel sick. Pretty much somes up my season so far.

Samovar (1.45S) has a great record over this C/D, and ran the race of his life latest, when close up in a much better field than today's.
Taken 4's but plenty of 7/2 still available.
 
Close one there Reet - tried Kingscote again on the back of it in the next but same story , uncanny !

Trip out to Haydock tomorrow affy, just fancy a blowout in the fresh air, getting an arse like Beyonce with festive overeating n drinking n lazing about - had a quick look only really half fancy one 2.00 Another Venture 13/2 - mainly based on stable form.

Any decent shouts for the card lads n lasses ?

It looks like trainer Keith Dalgliesh has some excellent chances both at Lingfield and Haydock tomorrow, with his three strongest possibilities on odds at Lingfield. Admittedly a lazy way of doing things, but I can't bring myself to look at any more form ATM, so will stick his horses in a win Heinz, hoping for a red letter day.

That's racing for us ! Decent punt but not even a place - too early for you Martin, New Years day specialist !

I reckon there's a bet today that serious punters might be interested in. I'm not necessarily talking about anyone on the forum although I know there are some big hitters here.

But in the Relkeel, Sky Bet are going three places and their odds aren't particularly cramped.

Ever since Wholestone was put up to 161 for running second to Agrapart in a modest heavy ground renewal of the Cleeve last January I’ve wanted to oppose him. He’s one from five since then and I’m keen to oppose him again at short odds here. You can set your watch by Old Guard these days but he looks outclassed along with anything else bar Clyne and Thomas Campbell and with Wholestone [in my book] opposable both can be backed to three places despite the small field at 11/2 and 7/1. Dutched, they’re roughly a 5/2 shot and that strikes me as miles better value than 11/8 Wholestone.

But bear in mind that anything I suggest these days comes with a serious wealth warning.

I'd quite like Old Guard Des back on faster going and wouldn't by any means think he's outclassed by your pair . Think I'd agree that Wholestone is vunerable on a quicker surface if the ground had been soft today I'd have thought him banker material.

Global Melody (1.10S) has had just 2 runs at Southwell, the latest a win over 5f. What's more remarkable though was his first run at the track (1m), where he led most of the way, and ran the first 6f in just 2 secs (ATR sectionals ) over RP standard time. Well drawn again today, I've had a meaty punt on him.
If there is a danger, it's probably Jack The Truth, from the stall next to him.

Well be glad I haven't had time to do my write ups today because I've completely done my spuds at Cheltenham. I have a decent bet on Old Guard in the last and a decent RF with Midnight Shadow so between us Des Wholestone and Cyrius should do the 1-2 haha.
