1st January

305 Cheltenham-Good race,with several proven performers like Rock on Ruby,that will prove a tough nut to crack at a track where its won twice but unusually for the yard,Silsol looks to be improving fast and underrated by the market.
It won first time out this season,when the trainer thought it wasnt fit enough,posting a good rating and decent speed figure.
It will need to continue its progression but if it does then it will be bang there.
Nicky Henderson has won this 3 times in the last 4 years,so both his representatives have to be respected.
Back Silsol 7pts at 7.0 at various bookies-UP(-7pts)Poor

335 Fakenham-I know nothing of the trainer of Vision Du Coeur,who looks like a newcomer to the ranks but she has acquired a horse from Ireland and I often find they can be well handicapped when racing in the UK.She steps it up in trip and that should suit as it was keeping on at the finish in its last race.
Gamain is the one to beat as it makes its handicap debut after a decent run last time.
Gilzean won on its seasonal debut last time and is respected on that but this is a rise in class into a grade where its 0w-1p-6r.
Back  Vision Du Coeur 6pts at 7.5 at Bet365(Accept 6.0)-Won(+60pts *Paid out BOG*)(DT+53pts)

135 Musselburgh-Viva Colonia can be a bit in and out but not when it races at this track,as form figures of 1st-1st-2nd show.
The 2nd was in this race last year and if it can reproduce that,it should win this for a trainer that is 10 from 26 with his chasers here.
Workbench has a good chance if it stays dry(Which looks unlikely) as its posted several good ratings this season but a record of 0w-1p-11r from December to April does sound a note of caution.
Shadrack is solid and should run its race but that may not be good enough.
Back Viva Colonia 7pts at 6.5 at various bookies-UP(-7pts)Weak as anything in the pre race market and ran accordingly

210 Musselburgh-This is a good race and though it may find its younger rivals being too much, surely Strongpoint is well overpriced.
A record of 3w-0p-5r here commands serious respect,particularly if the rain comes and I would expect a bold bid to repeat last years win in this race.
Hawk High and Stephanie Francis head the list of dangers.
Back Strongpoint 4pts at 15.0 at Totesport/WilliamHill(Accept 13.0)-2nd(-4pts)Ran a fine race.(DT+42pts)

320 Musselburgh-Last years winning stable look to have a strong hand again with the unexposed Fly Vinnie here.
The yard generally do well here(6 from 21 with their hurdlers) and im surprised this improver isnt shorter in the betting.
Capellanus would have a good chance on good ground but its a 6Ibs worse horse on soft ground and thats what im expecting.
Back Fly Vinnie 7pts at 7.0 at various bookies(Accept 5.5)-Won(+38.5pts *1 non runner)Hammered into favourite and absolutely hosed up.(DT+80.5pts)

150 Fakenham-The Omen has been consistent most of the season and drops in class here for a trainer that is 10 from 29 with his chasers here,it must go well.
Oxalido travels a long way for this race and although it hasnt done much over fences,the fact that the trainer is 1 from 2 when he does venture this far,has to be a positive.
Alright Benny produced a solid set of runs before running poorly last time,its 2w-1p-6r in this grade and is respected.
Icy Colt is 0w-0p-6r on sharp tracks like this,is 0w-1p-7r on ground worse than good and hails from a yard that are 0 from 26 at this track.It should be around a 10/1 chance for me.
Lay Icy Colt 20pts at 5.0-2nd(+20pts)(After commission+19pts)(DT+99.5pts)
Running Total+7283.79pts
