I am currently in Newmarket visiting family and friends, just looked outside to see snow on the ground ! Hopefully racing will go ahead today at all the meetings.

Night Story was a good winner yesterday, he looks a nice horse.  My other selection Our Duke pulled up in the Gold Cup, he was never travelling well, hopefully he will be ok. Today looks like any other Saturday, difficult to sort through the races and find a winner.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Copain De Classe

Time: 2.05 Kempton

Current Odds: 5/4

A winner last time of a match race, where his sole rival departed very early on, he jumped well in the main, and looks as though he is still a work in progress.  On his first run over fences he was a decent third to Benatar, who was third in a big race this week at Cheltenham, so solid form, regular jockey on top and he has won on a right handed track before, hopefully the ground does not get any softer, he will handle it, but he doesn’t really want it borderline heavy to be seen at his best, a few others also have better form on drier ground. Of rivals, Vocaliser has been in good form all winter, he will be dangerous again today, Kayf Blanco has also been running well , beaten only a neck last time at the track, he has not won a race though, for a long time.
