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.
