Both horses backed yesterday each way, both placed so an ok day.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Marten

Time: 2.40 Bangor

Current Odds: 11/8

This horse won very easily last time at Southwell, beating the odds on favourite that day. He carries a penalty today for that win, but I do not think that will stop him winning again.  El Presente is probably the main threat, as he ran well last time and is lightly raced and is still on the upgrade.

Lots of good racing today around the country, in the Fighting Fifth hurdle the hot favourite Buveur D’Air looks as though he only has to turn up to win, hopefully he can win his first prep race of the new season with the Cheltenham Festival in March the main target.
