Racing 2nd December

Sandown 1:30
Cousin Nicky 2/1
Kipsigis 4/1
Bens Turn 11/2
Legally Fast 7/1
Two Miles West 12/1
Beare Necessities 20/1

I couldn't help but notice what a terrible record Alan King has at Sandown. That's interesting given the horses he's running here today. Ben's Turn would look short solely on that basis. Cousin Nicky has to be opposed at the prices.

Kipsigis 4pts win at 11/2
legally Fast 4pts win at 11/1

Sandown 2:05
My Way de Solzen Evens
Fair Along 6/4
New Little Bric 9/1

In my head I have My Way a shade shorter and Fair Along a shade longer (the going mainly.) However, Fair Along is in my 'stable' (as are 4 other horses running today), and I won't be deserting him.

Fair Along 5pts win at 2/1

Sandown 2:35
Kauto Star 4/6
Voy Per Ustedes 4/1
Central House 9/1

One to watch!

Sandown 3:10

Started pricing this up and surrendered in frustration. Personally I'll be backing Ellway Prospect who did us a real turn at a big price last time out. That said this looks short enough and he's a tough ride, so no recommendation. I'll probably play the two out of the handicap as well as big ew prices to small stakes.

Sandown 3:40
Simon 5/1
Ladalko 6/1
Tanas River 7/1
Tribal venture 7/1
Wild is the Wind 7/1
Nitrat 11/1
Fork Lightning 16/1

Not a fan of most of these, so selections pick themselves really.

Simon 5pts win at 17/2
Tribal Venture 4pts win at 12/1

Wetherby 1:20
According to Pete 3/1
Into the Shadows 9/2
Covent Garden 7/1
Euro American 11/1
Ashton Lad 11/1
Totally Scottish 11/1
Imtihan 20/1
Its Blue Chip 20/1

I'm a big fan of According to Pete and he ran really well at Cheltenham, caught chasing too fast a pace. My prices force me elsewhere though.

Covent Garden 3pts win at 12/1
Euro American 3pts win at 22/1

Wetherby 2:55
Royal Rosa 11/8
L'Antartique 13/8

No fan of the favourite. L'Antartique's been running well enough.

L'Antartique 5pts at 2/1

Wetherby 3:25
Silver Knight 7/2
Elvis Returns 5/1
Jungle Jinks 6/1
Harrovian 11/1
Mount Clerigo 11/1
Kerry Lds 12/1
Darinas Boy 12/1
Grattan Lodge 20/1

I was taken with Elvis last time out, until stamina gave out.

Elvis Returns 7pts win at 10/1
