21st January

135 Catterick-Martin Keighley has an eye catching record with his chasers here(3 from 6) and must have good prospects of improving that with Always Bold.
It got off the mark over fences last time and is a force in this lowly grade(4w-7p-16r) and likes a recent run(14 days or less 6w-7p-21r)
It has no problems with ground or trip and hopefully will make that count
If Fromthetop handles this soft ground then its a major danger but its sire is just 2 from 41 around todays trip on soft ground.
Runswick Days looks better at shorter as does Wakhan but the latter does represent a bang in form yard.
Last years winner Over and Above could go close if it has one of its rare good days.
Back Always Bold 7pts at 7.5 at various Bookies-UP(-7pts)Ran a fine race

240 Catterick-Stopped Out is no good thing at the weights but shouldnt be the price it is,in a pretty weak affair.
Im hoping this horse can loose in the lead and around this track,that is no bad thing.
Its record at sharp tracks is decent(5w-4p-22r) and in 10 runners or less its 6w-6p-21r.
Conquisto makes its debut for Brian Ellison and at its best would be a threat.
Local Hero returns from an absence and while McCoy has a good record for the trainer(10/46),the yard are 0 from 14 with their hurdlers here.
Danny Cook is an interesting jockey booking for Dark Dune but it has to prove its stamina for this trip.
Back Stopped Out 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-8pts)Very poor run.(DT-15pts)

310 Catterick-Grate Fella looks rock solid here.2 from 2 at the track and has only had 3 starts over fences.
The yard have had 5 winners from their last 14 runners and it must go well.It is however around the right price.
If the unexposed Russborough can finish in front of Grate Fella then I would expect it to win.
It ran pretty well on its British debut over fences,when possibly looking like it needed further,so todays softer ground should help.
Venitia Williams is 6 from 23 with her runners here.
The early money has come for Tiptoeaway,whos very well handicapped on its 2012 form.
I dont think its a given on the ground or the drop in trip.
Back Russborough 7pts at 7.0 at various bookies-2nd to Grate Fella(-7pts)

325 Ayr-Its not without a chance but I cant have Sharney Sike as favourite here.
Its won on heavy ground but on my figures,is a better horse on good to soft to soft and the trainer is 1 from 56 with his runners here.
If No Through Road is fine on the softest ground its ever encountered then it will go very close.
Its been very progressive this season and may not be finished yet.
Chavoy produced a good run last time and posted its best rating yet,its 2 from 4 in January and 3w-2p-7r in this grade.
Harry The Lemon represent a yard that have finally hit form after a very slow start to the season,its very unexposed as a chaser.
Arc Warrior makes its debut for the Nicky Richards yard(26% with his chasers here),if he can get it back to its best then it has the ratings to figure.
Lay Sharney Sike 20pts at 4.5-UP(+19pts A/C)(DT-3pts)
