3rd December

 307 Leicester-Go as you Please has an obvious chance but im not keen on a horse thats finished 2nd in 3 of its last 5 starts and fell last time out.

Beet Topper ran well last time on its first start for a new yard and is respected.

Tierra Verde is unexposed over fences while Relkadam shhould run well dropping in class but at a big price,I cannot let Impulsive Leader go unbacked.Its got a rating from last season that would see it very competitive here and it possibly needed the run last time after a break.

The trainer has ony sent 2 horses here in recent times and won with one of them.

Back Impulsive Leader 2pts at 26.0 at bet365-UP(-2pts)No Show

315 Wincanton-This is wide open and although,it wouldnt get high marks for consistency,Frilly Frock has only had 2 runs over fences and has less convictions that most.

It won an ordinary race last time but posted a fair speed figure and if it runs its race then its the wrong price.

Ede`iff Elton came down last time but was running well and now drops in class while Paddys Runner should appreciate the longer trip.

Back Frilly Frock 6pts at 7.0 at Various Bookies(-6pts)Weak in the market and just gradually lost its place.

222 Market Rasen-Quite a bit of dead wood here and I like Pakies Dream,who comes here in good form ,for a yard and jockey that do well here.It finished behind a progressive horse last time over fences and should follow up.

The Manuscript is back on a winning mark but pulled up last time,it looks pretty short to me.

More Bucks is incredibly inconsistent but does have the ratings to take this,however you cannot rely on it and Fr Humphrey is well handicapped but is a 12yo now and thats probably why.

High Noon was in decent form the last time we saw it(263 days ago) but its 12Ibs higher than its last winning mark and could find things tough.

Back Pakies Dream 12pts at 4.0 at Hills-Fell(-12pts)Backed into 6/4 and fell at the first

207 Leicester-This is a pretty good race and it would be no surprise if the unexposed Known or A Distant Place proved good enough but on what theyve done so far,they dont appeal as that well handicapped and both look short enough to me.

The value looks to be Gortroe Joe ,who is still on a decent mark despite winning last time.That rating puts in with a favourites chance and it should be shorter.

Trans Express does worry me a bit though,as it was well backed last time ,has won on its only start and is 4w-1p-7r in December.Having said all that,I do wonder if something will be stronger at the business end of the race.

Back Gortroe Joe 9pts at 5.0 at Various Bookies-Fell(-9pts)To complete another disastrous day,this one fell 2 out when in with every chance(DT-29pts)
