The classy Master Minded will get every inch of 3-miles in the King George and should go well.

Posting my Boxing day selections early just in case I don’t get back online later to update the site but I should be able to in the depths of the morning! No reasoning added yet but I’ll have that up tonight all going well.

Plenty of bets, 6 in total and hopefully they won’t all lose, or else there’ll be many pints consumed tomorrow evening! Cheers to all who look and best of luck if you play. I’ll post on Facebook/Twitter when I’ve added the reasoning.

Late night edit; Reasoning added.

Noel Fehily takes the reins on board my only bet of the day and with some luck, he'll go well.

Sugar Beet ensured a return to winning ways when scoring by just shy of a length at Kempton. They went off very hard from the front, as I had hoped, and that really played into the hands of this filly. In truth, she was a rather fortunate winner as the second would have surely won had he not missed the kick but it’s nice to get a bit of luck for a change. The rise in the weights that will follow should put me off her for a while yet but if it looks like a rapid pace is in order over that C&D, she could be worth chancing again. Regardless, it was a fine performance yesterday and she landed a 3pt bet at 6/1 in the process.

The other selection, Legion D’Honneur, was well-backed in the morning, moving into 5/1 from 16′s at one stage. However, he was easy to back before the off and never looked like winning or landing a blow. Scudamore had him held up in rear again and his usual strong-travelling ways were non-existent on the day, which was quite disappointing. He was actually under pressure not far past halfway and that’s unlike him, so I’d say it’s best to overlook this run completely. He’s one for again and should continue to be a worthwhile price.

+16.00pts on the day.

Just one today and I’m tired enough, so it’s brief. Best of luck if you’re playing.

Two selections today, including a speedy 6/1 shot that runs on the all-weather at Kempton.

Unfortunately Spin Again got taken on for the lead by a fellow outsider who had never made the running before and that put paid to his chances from the off, as he needs to dominate and dictate at a fairly steady tempo in order to be seen at his best. The market probably told it’s own story with this ones chances yesterday and there’ll be other days for him.

Another fall in the weights is on the way and I do think that pursuing with him over the winter will eventually pay dividends at a nice price. His run here was atrocious though, but understandable in ways given how he needs the races to pan out. Damn the all-weather to hell!

-2.00pts on the day.

Two selections for today, one coming over hurdles at Taunton and the other on the glorious all-weather of Kempton. Hopefully one could oblige and pay the ol’ Christmas bills! Cheers to all who look and fingers crossed for a bit of luck.

Just one selection today, a speedy 25/1 outsider and he runs at Wolverhampton Racecourse.

Stunningly awful stuff on Saturday. Politeo and Wymott were both backed under the assumption that they’d be ridden handily but that never happened and they were both dropped out in rear. The latter, despite being very well supported, was given absolutely no chance to show his best. Conditions were given as the excuse for his below-par run but I wouldn’t believe that for a second. No harm though, it could always be worse and he’s one for another time.

Attaglance ran well for a while but weakened out of the equation on the ground and this run can be ignored. Given his usual strong travelling ways, the way he dropped out suggested that something wasn’t suiting him and it must have been ground conditions (he was also very weak in the market, so it was probably expected). He’s a better horse than that and will be of interest again when it’s not so testing underfoot.

Benbane Head was pulled up and never had a chance on the ground. He was quite a silly selection in hindsight, as his trainer said that he was worried about conditions being too much for the horse and that was spot on. Pursuing with him mightn’t be a bad idea, but decent ground will be a must. It’d also be good if he was running at a track that doesn’t put a huge emphasis on jumping abilities, as he’s quite modest in that department.

I’ve never witnessed a horse pulling as hard as Desert Cry did in the big handicap hurdle at Ascot and on a couple of occasions it looked like he’d pull himself over to the chase course. Beforehand, it seemed as if they’d go a good clip up top but they crawled along and that ruined his chance before they had run fifty yards. He’s one for again I’m sure.

Last time out selection Reya Star went on to win at 12/1 as well, which is frustrating as I usually persist with them when they look like well-handicapped sorts. One of those days I suppose.

-12.00pts on the day, one of the worst in a while.

I’m now on nice little losing run, with the current count being 13. Hopefully it’ll end soon but after the last couple of months, I suppose it’s to be expected. The monthly tally sits at +32pts, so no point in getting too down just yet and fingers crossed that a return to winning ways comes about sooner rather than later.

Just the one today, coming at Wolverhampton, but he’s not exactly a selection to put much faith in and anyone who’s interested in playing should do so at caution.

Desert Cry looks overpriced at 14/1 for today's Ladbroke Hurdle and should run a good race.

Oscar Close was very poor on Wednesday and that wasn’t a real surprise given what the market was saying beforehand. In the end, he was pulled up having jumped moderately towards the rear of the field and he was never involved.

There’s always a risk when backing a George Baker trained animal but I was certainly expecting a better showing than that. Regardless, he wouldn’t have beaten the gambled-on winner, so it doesn’t really matter either way.

Disappointing but he could be worth pursuing with for a while, as he should prove to be a nicely handicapped horse in time.

-3.00pts on the day.

Keeping things brief enough today. Plenty of bets to be had and not enough time in the day to ramble on about them. Cheers as always too all who look and fingers crossed that there’ll be a winner. Although it does look like a very tricky day and it could go either way, so I’d play with caution if you’re backing any.
