10/1 or more

Sunday 16th December

9.50 Sha Tin - ULTIMATE GLORY - Capable on a going day and edging down the weights. In form Matthew Poon aboard, decent draw in 4 and can get involved at 20's. Also going with JOLLY CONVERGENCE as there are definitely worse 100/1 shots out there.

12.30 Greyville - METHANE - Better ground today than on debut and bred to appreciate the extra furlong. Interesting as a possible improver at 66's.

12.30 Navan - WESTERN VICTORY - Arrives in good form and whilst this is a real step up in class, certainly no forlorn hope at 25's.

1.00 Navan - ELUSIVE THEATRE - Tends to take a couple of runs to get fully wound up, so not worried about his 2 comeback runs. Certainly knows how to win races and is on a feasible mark, so could easily out - run his price of 28's. Adding Kegs' SQUOUATEUR, both EW and for the Forecast.

1.10 Southwell - MOAYADD - Decent strike rate on the flat and does not look to have any stamina issues now sent hurdling. Drift to 25's an obvious concern, but apart form the odds - on, does look a weakfish race, so definite place chances.

1.45 Southwell - SATURDAYNIGHTFEVER - Interesting on Bumper form and 3rd to a smart looking one on hurdle debut. Top 2 both running under a penalty and this one looks a fair alternative at 12's.

3.20 Greyville - LITTLE MISS ME - Flopped last time on soft ground and much better than that run. Blinkers re - applied as well, so can get back to form at 10's.

12.00 Navan - Going with 3 here, all at big prices -

CRIQ SUN at 40's
WADIYATINK NOW at 66's
MELMAN at 150's

7.15 Wolverhampton - CHARLINE at 100's

7.45 Wolverhampton - WAR NO MORE at 33's

Wednesday 19th December

3.45 Kenilworth - FIRST SWALLOW - Better over this trip and is currently on a nice looking mark at 20's

3.45 Newbury - BALLYMILAN - Nicely bred newcomer and the stable does well in this sphere at 14's

4.25 Dundalk - THE BITTERN CRY - Disappointing overall, but has ability and bit more like it last time at 22's

4.30 Newcastle - HAIGHFIELD - Stable 2nd string, but nicely bred and both efforts to date suggest the ability is there at 10's. Also gone with a live " rag " in NOCIVILJUSTICE at 66's.

8.00 Dundalk - MANOMINE - Plenty of old form gives him this one and did lead for a long way last time. Drop back in trip should not hinder at 20's

3.35 Ludlow - LONG RIVER DANCE - Not an obvious one on breeding, but stable does get plenty of Bumper winners at 16's.

Thursday 20th December

11.40 Vaal - PEARL DREAM and OCEANS PRIDE - Pair of lively " rags " at 66's.

12.10 Vaal - SPLAT THE CAT - Not fancied on debut, but may show big improvement from that run where she got going really late on a tight circuit. This track should certainly suit better and a huge run at the early 50's is certainly possible. Probably gone in too big with this one, but a win would certainly pay for the upcoming festivities.

12.55 Vaal - MOSHAV - Running OK as of late and seems just as good over 5 or 6f. Quite nicely weighted and runs the track well, so definite EW shout at 14's.

2.05 Vaal - KING OF THE DELTA - 3rd run back off a break and down to a winning mark. Not always the strongest in a finish, but strong EW potential at 16's

10.10 Vaal - Originally not going to bother with the Maiden, but ended up with 3 for small stakes, EW and FC -

THE GREAT QUEEN at 10's
THE LAST DOLL at 33's
AEGEAN at 100's
