Hopefully some followers managed to back Tamerlane last night, I didn’t get the message on until around 6 minutes before the off, and this improving horse was a good winner, returned at 11/8.

Today I think Higher Power has a good chance in the 12:55’Newcastle, I actually backed him EW at 5/1 this morning, sorry he has come into around 7/2 now.  I do think this course and distance winner can be competitive, he was a strong closer when second last time, Watersmeet who beat him that day, is a rival today, my selection is 3lb better off today, and should improve from his recent run.

At Cheltenham , where caution is advised, because it has had some rain I thought Rather Be had solid claims 1:55, it a competitive Chase, my only concern is I’m not the biggest fan of his jockey, but the horse has loads of talent.

Saturday is always the hardest day, I am always playing with small stakes, as the races are so competitive, today is no different.

I may update later, as a couple of horses running later that have good claims, I am just going to keep a close eye on the weather.
