Saturday 26th January

THE AD MAN has a Saturday shocker !!!

A competitive days racing at two of the best jump courses in the UK , what more could you ask for on a Saturday ! The best value on the Cheltenham card is the improving FAASEL in the 2.40, his form behind Tamarinbleu gives him a huge chance at around 16/1 2pts win 4 pts place if all eight run. RESULT : Faasel never travelled an inch and the horse that was pulled up in the Tamarinbleu race won the race , the ground can be the only problem as he was backed from 25s to 12s !

The highly impressive LUXURIX needs to win this to go on to the TOTE GOLD TROPHY and will carry a good investment at around 4/1 - 3pts win RESULT: Jumped well but didnt finish his race .
Over at Doncaster with the wind drying out the course a small bet on the well weighted ITS MOON at around 20/1 will be had in the 1.20 , with a follow up win and place bet on the classy STANDIN OBLIGATION who is working very well at home and seems back to his early form for David Pipe. RESULT : Hated the track and ran accordingly !
The best bet of the day and a near maximum investment is THEATRE GIRL 6 pts win in the 1.55 who ran the hugely impressive KHYBER KIM to 3 lengths last time , the best form in the race and is not even favorite ! RESULT: Theatre Girl was just outpointed by Chumba Wumba , better jockey won the race.
Remember the key on the value bets is to trade in running to lock in profit !


THE GURU Cracks a Double !!!
JP McManus can complete a short price double at Prestbury Park with AIGLE D'OR(1.00) WON 7/4 and FRANCHOEK(3.15) WON 11/8. I hope Freddie Williams has taken his deep satchel with him.
PADDOCK POINTER - On his only defeat at Prestbury Park FRANCHOEK constantly swished his tail in the pre parade and paddock.
