A good winner for my subscribers yesterday, Return Ticket 7/4 won well 12.05 Musselburgh. A few I like today, one horse l will give followers is Chantal 10.55 Compiègne. Race is off in around 10 minutes, this horse was coming to win last time, his only error was the final obstacle, where he dived at the fence and fell. If none the worse, he would be my choice to win today.

I will try and update in an hour or so, hopefully I can get some followers off to a good early start to the day.

A fairly quiet week, pleased to find a couple of winners for my subscribers over the week, with only three horses advised. I advised Hopeful today who was a cosy winner at Saint Cloud at 6/4, advised at 7/4 this morning. Tomorrow I will go again, with some good racing at Cheltenham and a few hotly contested races elsewhere. I like a couple, and will try and advise folowers a winner at one of the racetracks.

I was impressed with Protektorat at Cheltenham today. He jumped well, his only slight blemish was the last, but found a gear when asked to go and win his race by Harry Skelton turning for home. He could well be a horse for one of the big novice chases at the festival in March.

More tomorrow.

Battleground was an unlucky loser last night. Drawn wide he broke a bit slow and raced wide, to finish a strong second at the line, I think he was the best horse in the race.

On to today. I said I would give a couple of horses I thought would win today. Big Five 12.00 Saint Cloud is short odds, but should win again. He is a big horse, and might well cope with the heavy ground conditions better than Olympie. One horse at Wincanton to back is Grand Sancy 2.25. He jumped really well when he won at Chepstow, and should be too good for his rivals her, with his trainer Paul Nicholls having his horses in good form of late.

Looking forward to some good racing later tonight in America.

With most of the racing over in the UK and Ireland today. The race meeting this evening at Keenland, is the first day of the Breeders Cup meeting. In the 8.05 Battleground should run a big race for the powerful Ballydoyle operation of Aiden O’Brian and Ryan Moore. He is a big horse, so hopefully he will handle the quick ground ok, and get the Europeans a winner. A good day ahead tomorrow in America, hopefully more winners can be found.

I will put a post on tomorrow with a couple of horses in the Uk with live chances of winning.

Having had a good end to October with a nice winner for my subscribers. Captain Morgs who won the 2.32 Ascot on Saturday , boosted the profit up to 18.35 points, which I am very pleased with. I also gave followers Roskana who obliged in the 2.45 Wetherby, she was around 2/1 when I put her on the website, returning at 7/4, so a good day.

I’ve looked at today’s cards, which are difficult. I may well back a horse in France today. I just hope the “bounce” issue does not happen. As sometimes when horses run after a long time off the track, and turn out quickly, they can put in a poor run, if Fines Aires 11.55 Fontainebleau is ok from a recent run, she has a solid chance of winning. I could do an update later today with one at a later meeting.
