Boxing day was a mixed bag in terms of picks which ultimately ended in small profit thanks to the last of the 3 tips winning at 7/1. Onto today & a few more selections that looks decent value.
18:25 - Wolverhampton (Tipped on twitter in evening) - EXCELLENT PUCK - 0.5 Points EW @ 11/1 = PLACED (2nd) & BERLUSCA - 0.5 Points EW @ 11/1 (12/1 SP) = WON
Kempton -
14:00 - SCHOLASTICA - 2.5 Point Win @ 4/1 = LOST
This 6 year old mare has performed very creditably since making her seasonal reappearance two runs back. On that reappearance she won over 2 m 6f at Ascot, travelling well before being driven out towards the finish. Last time out at Sandown she was dropped to 2m 4f which didn't look ideal, she ran respectably finishing third of 12 runners, staying on well towards the finish. Both of these runs would suggest that the step up to 3 miles here can have a positive effect. This previous heavy ground winner should be well suited to these conditions so there doesn't seem any reason why he cannot continue the good form already shown this season.
Wetherby -
14:50 - BLUE COVE - 1 Point EW @ 10/1 = LOST (4th)
Lynn Siddall's BLUE COVE has been in some decent form of late, posting 2 placed efforts over 3 miles at Towcester recently. Both of those outings have come in similar races to this & have seen him stay on well towards the finish without quite being able to get to the winner, this would suggest that the extra furlong here today could play to his strengths. Similar ground conditions as those forecast today have been faced the last twice, so there should be no cause for concern on that front. This Yorkshire based trainer has a decent record at this venue & today looks a good opportunity to boost her percentages. Looks well in at the weights & seems to have a decent EW chance.
Leicester -
15:15 - WILY FOX - 1 Point EW @ 7/1 = LOST (4th)
Once a winner on the flat, James Eustace's 6 year old gelding still looks relatively unexposed as a hurdler at this trip. A convincing winner of a Market Rasen conditional handicap in October, this strong traveller performed with credit once again when finishing 3rd over 2m 5f last time out. It didn't look like he got the trip that day & the drop back to 2 miles today looks a favourable one. Trainer has a respectable record over hurdles & the booking of Kieran Edgar looks a positive one since he was on board for that impressive Market Rasen win & he claims a handy 7lb which leaves WILY FOX well in at the weights. 7/1 looks a nice price & if building on some decent runs so far this season then he should make a decent claim for the places.
