230 Wolves-This is one those occasions where a selection is so in and out,that the chances are it will probably run a stinker(it did last time out) but if it does turn up in good form then I cant possibly let it go unbacked at such a big price.

That horse is Comrade Bond,whos well handicapped off a mark 4Ibs lower than its last won off and has the plum draw in 1.

It ran well over a stone below its best last time at Kempton but on its previous effort over course and distance, it would hold far better chances than the current price.The excellent speed figure it clocked(The best in this race) means it cannot be ignored despite its inconsistency.

City of Angkor Wat is at the other end of the scale,with consistency being its strong point,Its clearly the most likely winner but is priced accordingly.

Back Comrade Bond 3pts at 21.0 at Various bookies-3rd(-3pts)Hampered a furlong out and just a little unlucky i thought.

325 Wetherby-I cannot for the life of me see why Vasco D`Ycy is the price it is in the race.

Its got no form on good ground,is 0w-0p-3r at this track and the trainer is 3 from 56 with his runners here.

Ive got it priced up at 10/1 so has to be a lay at the current prices.

Blackwater King will love the ground and clocked a good speed figure last time while Trust Thomas will run well and deserves to win another race.

Grey Life is 3 from 4 at this trip while Ballycool and Aye Well are runners with chances as well.

Lay Vasco D`Ycy 20pts at 5.5(Lay upto 6.0)-UP(+19pts after commission)Very little concern at any point.(DT+16pts)

Monthly Total+67.20pts
