24th January

225 Cheltenham-For some reason Easter Day is now running here rather than its first preference at Doncaster.
I believe this is a good decision as despite this being a class 1 handicap,its pretty weak with many horses having doubts hanging over them.
The selection weakened late on last time over 3 miles,on its first run for a year.I believe the step back in trip to 2m4 is just whats needed.
Its form figures at this distance read 1st-1st-2nd-1st-1st.....Its 4 from 4 on soft and 5r-1p-8r in fields of 10 or less.
Annacotty pulled up when last seen but looks the danger to me,based on its previous run over this trip.
Little Jon has had 2 mishaps in its 2 latest starts and is 0w-1p-7r when returning to the track within 28 days.
Sew on Target looks a non stayer while Dare Me is is 0w-0p-4r at this track and 0w-1p-7r in this class.
Back Easter Day 12pts at 4.0 at various bookies(Accept 3.75)-Fell(-12pts)Looking at the result and how it was travelling then this surely would have won.Summed up the last 2 weeks after such a good start to the month.

325 Uttoxeter-Harrys Farewell has only had 2 starts over fences and produced a good rating last time when 2nd on good ground over todays trip.
Its record on heavy ground reads 1st-3rd-1st,so this surface has to be positive and with the possibility of more improvement,it should run really well.
Marie Des Anges is the obvious danger after winning just 5 days ago.This is a quick turnaround though and while its proven on soft,heavy is an unknown.
Winston Churchill will handle the conditions but doesnt win very often while Less Time,moves up in trip on ground it hasnt encountered before.
The market will tell its tale although the yard have started picking up of late.
Back Harrys Farewell 12pts at 4.5-2nd(-12pts)7/2 into 2/1 and beaten a fence!(DT-24pts)
Monthly Total+196.0pts
Running Total+7380.29pts
