29th December

310 Newbury-Its fairly exposed and one of the lighter raced ones could improve past it but Shotavodka is a silly price here.
It ran a fair race last time over fences,in a higher grade,to back up an encouraging first run of the season over hurdles.
Both of those ratings make it pretty competitve here and its profile backs up its chance.
Its 3 runs at this track have resulted in a 3rd-1st-3rd,in fields of 9 or less its 5w-3p-10r and is 5w-4p-14r when returning to the track within 31 days like today.
One Track Mind ran well on its reappearance and would go close on last seasons best.
Lower Hope Dandy is difficult to assess but the trainer doesnt do that well here(7% strike rate) while Chieftains Choice is a bigger price than I have it.
Back Shotavodka 6pts at 10,0 at various bookies-UP(-6pts)Totally got it wrong

1200 Doncaster-The worry is that Pixiepot travels well and doesnt find a lot,therefore it places a lot but its ratings means its chance is better than the odds suggest here.
The better ground may allow it to stay on the bridle longer and if it does then its a big runner.
Catherines Well is the main danger as its improving and hails from an in form yard.
Donnas Pride is down in class and has chances but the trainer is 0 from 16 in handicap hurdles here in the last 2 years.
Angel Face makes its handicap debut but with a claimer booked,the trainer possibly doesnt think its well handicapped,my ratings back that up.
Back Pixiepot 8pts at 6.0 at Paddys-UP(-8pts)Lifeless performance after so many consistent efforts.

110 Doncaster-Its surprising to see The Grey Taylor as favourite here.It has only had just 2 runs over fences so could improve but will need too.
Baltimore Rock was a good hurdler and makes its chase debut straight into a handicap.
It will need to be at least as good over the bigger obstacles to take this.
Long Lunch is improving but has struggled so far,to win in this grade(0/6).
I like Katachenko,who is still unexposed over fences and heads my figures on both its runs this season,its 3w-2p-7r in fields of 9 or less.
Its a 9/4 chance for me.
Back Katachenko 9pts at 5.5 at bet365-2nd(-9pts)Ran a fine race but Baltimore Rock looked a good recruit.(DT-23pts)
