6th January

 338 Wetherby-A few unexposed ones in here making their handicap debut but none appear as well treated as Wetlands.

This horse has only had 3 runs and posted a fine rating and the best speed figure in the race when winning last time out,it also appeared to be very well suited to heavy ground,which is a bonus at the moment.I would definitely have it in shorter.

Dharan and Witness Protection are the other handicap debutantes but neither appear that well in.

Laskadine looks short to me,although it won last time,that was in 2 grades lower,its 0w1p-6r in fields of 9 or less and hasnt managed a single place in 5 starts in this class.

Back Wetlands 3pts at 3.75 at Skybet/Betvictor-Meeting Abandoned

240 Musselburgh-Encountering soft ground over fences for the first time,saw Rikoboy produce a career best and posted easily the best rating in this race.

If it can back that up then theres no doubt its still well handicapped and its interesting this is the first runner this trainer has sent here for 5 years.

The obvious fly in the ointment is the difficult to assess Rockadenn,who represents a yard that have won the last 3 runnings of this.It hasn`t raced over fences here in the UK yet however,so although its respected,its a tight price.

Back Rikoboy 2pts at 5.0 at Skybet/Betvictor/Willaim Hill-2nd(-10pts)Well backed into 5/2 and held every chance but got beat a neck.
