8th December

1230 Taunton-On its first outing over 3 miles,That`s Gonna Sting posted a career best rating and that makes it stand out here.
It looks to still be improving and should take a bit of beating.
Culm Counsellor has won its last two but on my figures,it has over a stone to find with the selection.
Song of the Night is probably the main danger unless Yul Next improves for the step up in trip.
Back That`s Gonna Sting 14pts at 3.5 at Hills-UP(-14pts)Very strong in the betting but one paced in the straight.

220 Newcastle-The more rain the better for Notebook here.
All of its best ratings have come with plenty of cut and that looks assured here.
There are plenty of holes in its profile but the price compensates for that while the postives are a record of 2w-1p-5r during December and January plus hailing from a small stable that has a 27% strike rate here.
Annie Alain is the main danger in an open race.
Back Notebook 5pts at 15.0 at various bookies-UP(-5pts)(DT-19pts)
