A late post today.  Looking at the 7.30 at Chelmsford.  I thought it was another good opportunity for Lucky’s Dream, who has won his last two races.  With good track form, he should be hard to beat.  The Game Is On , who is very likely the one that will make the running, could have his own way a little, and would be my idea of the main threat to the favourite.  Very strong winds all over the UK and parts of Europe.  The Channel Islands had a very stormy night, with tomorrow’s weather in Guernsey ok, but the forecast for Saturday is for very strong winds again. Hopefully race meetings will not be too affected.

Stormy weather has so far seen the abandonment of Exeter , with the meeting at Southwell on the fibresand currently due an inspection.  Punchestown in Ireland will also be subject to an inspection.

Yesterdays racing saw Rouge Vif 2.05 Warwick put in a good display of jumping, he beat Nube Negra, who I really fancied strongly.  Gavin Sheehan who rode the winner, is riding with great confidence at the moment.  He was very positive on his mount from halfway, and Rouge Vif galloped on strongly from two out, to win by over 6 lengths.  At Newbury, Altior 2.25, was workmanlike in his victory.  But he will likely improve for the race, and he beat some useful rivals.

More tomorrow.

Three meetings today.  Ludlow is the only jump meeting in the UK. Pretty small fields for most of the races.  Finding a winner looks difficult, so I am not getting involved there. At Southwell on the Fibresand, Mosakhar 3.30 has good form at the track, he would be my choice in this 1 Mile event.  Delleyll in the 6.40 Wolverhampton was a bit of a surprise winner at Kempton 11 days ago, but he had dropped to an attractive mark, and he could well follow up here.  He is a course and distance winner in the past, and Adam Kirby knows him well, although he did not ride him, when he won last time.

I am taking a few days off to recharge the batteries.  So my next post will be on the 2nd February.  A good start to the year for my subscribers, with January at plus 8.94 points (£894.00).  So hopefully the good run will continue into February, and the rest of the year.

Another strong day of racing from all over the country.  At Cheltenham grade 2 and 3 events over hurdles and fences.  The 3.00 has some really nice types lining up.  Trying to find the winner is very difficult.  It’s a race I will not be having a bet in, with a number of these closely rated.  House Island is the top rated on 143, and handles the ground ok, Harry Senior won well recently, and strongly suggests he is still unexposed, but a lot of these nice hurdlers are the same.  I am going racing this evening to Kempton, damp weather in the UK at the moment, hopefully I may be able to find a winner.  Thunderoad was unlucky last time at Wolverhampton, he runs at 6.00.  Stall 12 is his biggest problem, although I think he has solid each way claims.

More tomorrow.

Hopefully followers may of backed Dubai Future yesterday at Meydan.  It is really competitive  racing in all the races at the winter carnival meetings in the UAE,  as the prize money is so good.  Not too much catches my eye at the race meetings today.

With plenty of meetings tomorrow to go at.  I am going racing at Kempton so hopefully I can find a winner.

More tomorrow.

Apologies for no recent blog posts.  I have been doing a lot of travel over the last week.

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  Felix 2.50 Lingfield was advised in the morning, fluctuating in price through the day, he returned at 9/4.  This gelding is improving, he was given a very patient ride by Hollie Doyle, who is riding with great confidence.  I actually thought in running Hollie had given the leaders a bit of leeway, but her mount really quickened at the business end, to score a shade cosily.

Todays card’s look pretty tough.  Dubai Future 2.30 Meydan could well be the pick of the Saeed Bin Suroor pair.  He won well last time at Kempton on an artificial surface, but he is a winner on grass, and is the least exposed in this very competitive 12 furlong handicap.

More tomorrow.

Travelling again today, back in Guernsey now.  I went racing to Wolverhampton last week, it was a long way to get to the track, the horse I’ve got an interest in was second, beaten only about half a length, after being hampered in the latter stages of the race, unlucky not to win, but there is always another day.

I was pleased to get a good winner yesterday for my subscribers, Suedois 5.25 Meydan got the job done by a diminishing nose, advised at 6/1 in the morning, he was well supported into 9/2 at the off.  So not much more to report on today’s evening card, hopefully I can manage to find a winner tomorrow, a few entries I like the look of, weather looks wet, so cautious betting on grass, unless the selection is a mudlark.

A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  Batchelor Boy 1.55 Wolverhampton, was advised at 2/1 in the morning, he managed to get the victory, returned at 7/4.

I have been doing a bit of travelling, hence the blog posts have been quiet.  Today has some decent cards, especially in Dubai at Meydan. Finding winners is not easy at the track, very competitive and lots with chances in each race.  Dream Castle 3.40 could be cherry ripe for his 2020 debut, he is previous course winner, and would be my idea of the one to beat.

More later.

Quite an early start today.  Racing at Sedgefield starts at 12.15, on ground described as soft, Good to soft in places.  Brian Hughes could get a winner on Titus Bolt in the first race.  A decent second 7 days ago at Mussleburgh, was a good effort.  He may well go one better here. At 2.00 Espoir De Loire has a solid chance, despite jumping slightly left when winning last time at Mussleburgh, he got the victory.  Todays left haded track will more ideal, and hopefully he will not give as much ground away going this way, he has not been sent on the long journey by his shrewd handler for some northern air !

Huntingdon has been abandoned.  At Wolverhampton this evening, Foresee 4.10 has a good chance of winning, really consistent form of late, and form at the track.
