15th October

350 Stratford-This race is there for the taking in my opinion.
Vivas is a fair favourite but is still yet to win and this is a rise in class.
Lostock Hall makes its handicap debut and has good looking form figures but its ratings have actually declined and it makes no appeal at the head of the market.
Doubts surround many of the others but at a big price,I feel Lord Ben could go well.
This is only its third run for this stable and it ran well 2 starts back over hurdles before being outclassed over fences last time out.
Its ratings are right there with the best of these and it has to be backed at the prices.
Back Lord Ben 5pts at 13.0 at Various Bookies-4th(-5pts)Chased a ferocious pace and was legless by the end.

420 Stratford-It does have an in and out profile but if it has a going day then Is Love Alive should go very close here.
The rating it posted last time out puts it clear of this field and interestingly,this small stable do well at this track(5 wins from 22 runners.£105 profit to a £1 level stake)
Little Windmill won well last time and will like the conditions but has it to do if the selection runs its race while Daulys Anthem has a chance on its run three starts back over course and distance.
Back Love Is Alive 8pts at 6.5 at Bet365-UP(-8pts)I doubt this has run within 20Ibs of its last effort.

Angus Glens stands out for me in the 240 at Stratford,if you fancy backing a shorty.

Thun v Lausanne-Back Lausanne(Draw No bet) 15pts at 23/18 at Marathon Bet-Lost 1-0(-15pts)Missed a penalty and then had a player harshly sent off(DT-28pts)
