1255 Haydock-So many unexposed horses here but the solid,consistent Smart Talk is a surprisingly big price.
This horse has shown progressive form and although more exposed than the rest of the field,it does have 10Ibs on my figures, in hand of the rest of the field.
Any of the lightly raced mares could improve past it but at the prices,it has to be backed.
Back Smart Talk 7pts at 7.0 at various bookies-Won(+42pts)Halved in price and won easily.

315 Haydock-Major Ivan made an encouraging handicap debut last time and may improve for this slight drop in trip after travelling so well last time.
The trainer has won with 3 of his last 6 runners and this horse should run well.
Isaacstown Lad fell early on in its quest for a four timer,last time out but was improving fast prior to that and is the obvious danger.
Oscar Blue is another improver but very heavy ground is a bit of an unknown while Ugly Bug returned to form last but this is a rise in class.
Back Major Ivan 10pts at 5.0 at various bookies-UP(-10pts)

1215 Newcastle-Askamore Darsi posted a good rating when winning over trip and ground and that puts it bang there here.
Imperial Leader came down on its chase debut its position in the market suggested a big run was expected.
Alto Des Mottes has been running well and the trainer has a 25% strike rate with his chasers here.
The Orange Rogue is 0 from 11 in its career and places far too often when a winning opportunity presents itself,its ratings so far in its 6 race chase career need to be improved upon to win this.
Lay The Orange Rogue 20pts at 5.0(Lay upto 5.5)-UP(+19pts)(DT+53pts)
Monthly Total+22pts
Running Total+8325.45pts
