7th January

145 Lingfield-This is a quite tight race but easily the best value here is Ready.
10 furlongs is clearly its best trip and its drops in grade also.
It ran well over shorter at Wolverhampton last time but its best recent run was over course and distance in November.It should be at least half its current price.
Van Huysen has a lot in its favour here but its a very short price based on my ratings.
Mica Mika wont be far away while Coalite Cailin & Fort Bastion have chances if they prove themselves on the surface and trip respectively.
Back Ready 4pts at 17.0 at Betvictor/Hills-UP(-4pts)

220 Lingfield-For me,this is a 2 horse race as,although a horse very much proven under these conditions,Alfred Hutchinson just cant win this on my figures.
Realise is rock solid and 4 from 8 around here but ive got You`re Fired as the favourite here.
Although yet to race here,its proved well suited to polytrack at Kempton and is 3w-3p-6r in small fields like this.
This also a drop in grade for it.
Back You`re Fired 18pts at 3.0 at Skybet/Bet365/Betvictor-UP(-18pts)Got everything wrong here.

330 Lingfield-Another tight affair but there are doubts about several at the front of the market.
Footlight has to prove its stamina(Sire just 4% at the trip with its progeny)
Mercy Me has so far on my figures,proved a bit better at Chelmsford than here.
Owners Day has been running well over hurdles but has a few pounds to find under these conditions.
Heads You Win ran well last time over slightly shorter at Wolves but its performances here have so far been 10Ibs inferior..
So that leaves me with Celtic Ava,whos posted 2 solid efforts back to back and does like it here.
Its no good thing but should be around 3/1 mark in my view.
Back Celtic Ava 7pts at 6.5 at various bookies-4th(-7pts)Money for it but not good enough.

150 Sandown-Bright New Dawn makes its stable debut for Venitia Williams here and if she can get it to produce something close to last seasons best then it would have a far better chance than the current odds suggest.
It has a nice record after a decent break of 121 days or more like today(2w-1p-5r) and the trainer has won with 4 of her last 14 runners.
Hollywoodien is consistent and must go well while Garde La Victoire is very much respected although slightly shorter than I would have it.
Back Bright New Dawn 6pts at 11.0 at Various bookies-4th(-6pts)Looked the winner for 80% of this race.The jockey seemed happy to let others go past without making any effort.One paced in the straight.(DT-35pts)Fairly Tragic day!
