Thursday 24th January

Three interesting novice chases today. All tricky enough though, so I think I'll continue what looks a theme of the week and build a portfolio for the challenge bet.


Warwick 2:40

Sobers won for us last time, but to be frank was lucky to do so. He'll need to jump much better over these fences. Pauillac has been no great shakes as well. They both look vulnerable. Stolen Moments and Good Company have nothing to recommend them other than their stables but they wouldn't have to be up to much to cause an upset here.



Fontwell 1:50

Interesting shape to this race as well. The Henderson horse could be anything but looks short for her debut. Oscar Dangron is now 0-15. You need to excuse the next two, but Russian Around could well have 'bounced' last time, and Victorias Groom benefitted from a quiet confidence booster last time that will have done her the world of good. At the prices they are very backable.



Fontwell 2:50

O'Maley is going to have his supporters on strength of two course and distance wins. He jumped slow and to the right throughout last time though, and only his engine got him home against some poor horses. Air Force One remains potentially high class. The going is a worry but he was OK last time, and who knows he may even drift to a tasty price.


I think I'll aim for the trebles as well.


£500 Challenge

Air Force One £12 win at 4/5+

Russian Around £2 win at 8/1

Victorias Groom £2 at 15/2

Good Company £2 at 11/2

Stolen Moments £2 at 13/2

  2. Cheers Matamata - came close to a good return today. I'm afraid I don't keep ratings for Conference so can't really help. Good luck with it though.
