11th January

235 Lingfield-Galician is top rated on its latest run and looks to hold solid claims here.
5w-6p-14r in fields of 9 or less and all 7 of its career wins have been when its returned to the track within 14 days.
Grey Mirage is respected from a good yard and is probably the main danger although Alfred Hutchinson goes very well here (Ling 2w-1p-3r) but is very beatable in this grade(Class 2 0w-1p-8r).
Back Galician 17pts at 3.15-UP(-17pts)For some reason,was never travelling at any stage and was the first one beaten.

350 Kempton-Not often you get decent value on a Nicky Henderson animal but I think the price for Lyvius is pretty big.This horse came back to form last time,posting a rating 4Ibs clear of its rivals here and is on its last winning mark now.2 from 3 on soft ground and the Jockey is 29% for the yard.I wouldve had it around the 9/4 mark.
There are some in form rivals,Deep trouble is improving but is going to need to find another surge of progress,Bernardelli is another horse going well but its trainer doesnt do a lot when he comes south(1 from 16 here),so Moujik Borget is probably the main danger.
Back Lyvius 9pts at 5.5 at various bookmakers-Won(+34.38pts 1 Non runner)Hurdled poorly but great ride to first get it involved and then rally to win close home
Accept 4.5

145 Wetherby-Allied Answer makes its handicap debut and looks to have got in on a decent mark.It posted its best rating last time over course and distance and a reproduction of that would be good enough to take this.
Forward Flight has a similar profile but with inferior ratings,I respect the Trainer and Jockey a lot.
Memory Cloth ran pretty well on its handicap debut last time but needs to come on again while Trust Thomas manages to post decent ratings without winning.
Back Allied Answer 12pts at 4.5 at Bet365/Betvic-Won(+42pts)Really well backed and won in a photo.(DT+59.38pts)

215 Wetherby-Very competitive race but Grey Gold is far too big a price and has to be supported.
This horse is still progressing and wants very soft ground(Soft/Heavy 4w-2p-10r), a small field(0-9 runners 3w-0p-6r) and a recent run(28 days or less 2w-1p-3r)
Everything looks in place for a big run.
Desert Cry loves the soft(Soft/Heavy 3w-1p-6r) and shouldnt be far away while Oscar Hill is still improving.
Filbert is still lightly raced from a good yard but I think De Boitron might prefer better ground.
Back Grey Gold 9pts at 8.5 at Betvic-2nd(-9pts)Called the market right as he SP`d at 5.0 and ran well but Desert Cry hosed up.
Accept 5.5

325 Wetherby-On just its 3rd start over fences,Ravens Brook hosed up and in the process posted a career best rating that puts it nicely clear of its rivals here.
Chicklemix may be the main danger as the trainer is in good form and its the only course winner in the field.
Free World had one of his infrequent victories last time and there has to be a doubt about it repeating it especially with a record of 0w-1p-16r from January to April.
Back Ravens Brook 12pts at 4.0 at Bet365-UP(-12pts)Same as above.Hammered into 2.5 and beaten after a fence.(DT+38.38pts)
Accept 3.75
Monthly Total+99.33pts
Running Total+6022.33pts
