23rd November

820 Wolverhampton-Pretty competitive sprint for the grade.Speightowns Kid is market leader and should go well but 1win from 13 over this trip and 1win from 18 starts in this grade set the alarm bells ringing.
Black Dave is respected for an inform trainer while Invigilator has 4 wins to its name around here and returned to form last time but its up in grade and a record of 0w-0p-6r in this class shows it doesnt find that easy.
If Iceblast had a better draw,I could see that going well as 6furlongs is definitely its best trip(3wins from 9 starts) but the outside stall makes it tough.
The value for me is Wooden King and I can see the top weight outclassing these.It ran below form last time but that was after nearly 2 months off the track(41 days or more absence 0w-1p-11r).The horse races over 5 furlongs a lot but its rating 2 starts back over 6f on the turf is matched by a rating the last time it ran over 6furlongs at this track.Those ratings win this!
Back Wooden King 6pts at 10.0-UP(-6pts)Couldnt give it away and no surprise as it raced wide throughout on a furious pace.Seeing Iceblast hose up made it even worse.

2.0 Lingfield-Arabella is top rated and the most progressive in the field.If it can repeat its latest run then it should prove hard to beat.
If Oasis Spirit stays this trip then it may prove the biggest danger while Al Freej goes well here and isnt without a chance.
Back Arabella 13pts at 3.75-2nd(-13pts)Somehow got beaten by an outsider,stepping up 2 furlongs in trip.Unbelieveable!

1245 Haydock-Im pretty sure if Runswick Royal was trained by anyone else then it would a shorter price than it is.This horse has only had 4 runs over hurdles and recieving 8Ibs off its 2 main rivals could be vital.
Far West is very solid and deserves to be fav but im not sure about it being around the 5/4 mark.
Rolling Star hasnt proven to be up to this level so far but any horse from Nicky Hendersons yard has to be respected.
Back Runswick Royal 7pts at 7.0 at Betvictor-3rd(-7pts)Really well backed into half the price but looked like it needs further
Accept 6.0

250 Huntingdon-Ive got Arctic Night at a much bigger price on my tissue than it currently is.Very surprised to see it as market leader.It prefers a gap between its races(28 days or less 0w-1p-9r) and returns here just 9 days after running 3miles over hurdles.
Cute Court made its handicap debut last time and produced its best performance so far while Go Amwell loves it here(5wins).It drops into its correct grade(Class 5 2wins from 5 starts) and is 5 wins from 16 over this trip.
Bravo Riquet could also run well,this horse likes soft ground(Soft/heavy 2w-1p-7r) and going Right Handed(2w-1p-6r),so things are ideal for it.
Elegant Olive has won 3 times around here and ran well last time and it has a rating last November over course,trip and ground that would win this.
Lay Arctic Night 20pts at 5.0(Lay upto 5.5)-UP(+20pts)Well beaten(DT-6pts)
*Cancel or Trade out if Elegant Olive,Cute Court,or Go Amwell dont run*
