A nice winner yesterday with First Contact obliging at Newcastle, he was backed into 4/5 and won well.

Today I believe racing is going ahead after the overnight high winds.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Ellen’s Way

Time: 2:50 Ludlow

Current Odds: 5/2

After her recent win at Fontwell on Boxing Day, assuming that this race has not come  too soon, my selection can follow up over the extra 3 furlongs today.  She actually won comfortably last time and was not stopping that day over 2m 5f, so she has every chance of staying the trip today.  She acts on soft ground, and her jockey won on her recently.

Of her rivals, Daisy De Sivola races over 3 miles also for the first time today, she should stay, and has a fair chance, she has been backed from 10s down to 4/1 overnight, I think she has a bit to find to trouble my selection.  Saint Ladylime is prone to jumping errors over hurdles and fences, she has the ability, and if she puts in a clear round of jumping, she is dangerous.
