22nd February

230 Chepstow-Alder Mairi is 3 wins from 4 on heavy ground and after winning last time over further,its extra stamina reserves could be decisive in the closing stages.
Lord Protector probably didnt stay 2m4 last time and should run better back at this trip while Somemothersdohavem is the other with a chance.
Back Alder Mairi 13pts at 4.5 at Hills/Betvictor-3rd(-13pts)Dont know what Thornton was doing in the middle of the track but I(as someone who thinks the jockey is a joke) Should know better.
Accept 3.75

220 Newcastle-Figaro has only had 5 runs over hurdles and looks very progressive and its top rated after a good run last time.
Yorkist has run a lot of solid races and should be on the premises again while Ubaltique has won its last 2 but im not certain the slight drop in trip will see it at its best.
Back Figaro 12pts at 4.5 at Totesport/Paddys-Pulled Up(-12pts)Betting gave the warning signs and this horse ran a lifeless race.Pretty rubbish day!(DT-25pts)

430 Newcastle-This is a really good race with several in form rivals.Consigliere,on what its done this season,is an awful fav and makes the market.
It will appreciate the grade but its been running 7Ibs below its best all season.
Fentara is rock solid and must run well while Sharney Sike is still unexposed and improving.
The value for me is Dancing Art,who luckily doesnt have James Reveley strangling it today.Ritchie Mcgrath isnt great but much better than Reveley.
This horse is very consistent and still quite lightly raced.It stayed on strongly last time over too short a trip and the step back up will be ideal.
Its form figures at this track are 3-5-2-1-1-2 and its 2w-2p-8r in fields of 9 or less.
Back Dancing Art 7pts at 7.5 at Skybet-Non Runner
Accept 7.0
