Attempting to win
A much better day today with the 8-1 NAP winning comfortably and a 14-1 shot making the frame in 3rd rewarding the e/w.

It moves the overall points into profit with + 6.4 pts

Tomorrows racing looks again to be of a very good quality, with the first day of Cheltenham's December meeting and some competitive racing from Doncaster.
Doncaster in particular excites me as it features the return of one of my horses to follow for the season in the shape of Sprinter Sacre. This horse had the look of a top quality chaser in the making last season with his athletic build and some extravagent leaps of hurdles. (not to mention his high quality form culminating in a 3rd in the supreme at the festival) If he takes to fences as his size and scope suggest he will the 9.8 on Betfair for the Arkle will not be around for long. As I would never advise to take such a short price as he no doubt will be tomorrow, my advice is to back him for the arkle. There is a very strong possibility he will go much lower than 9.8 and could create a 'free bet' scenario. This horse is a chaser in the making, and I have already assigned my alliegence to him for the 2013 Champion Chase!

On to tomorrows bets now with our 'healthy' profits ready to be spent and be increased further! I thought I would try and explain my selections a little bit more in an attempt to add substance to the selection.

Bet 1: 3pts win Theologist 3.20 Doncaster @ 7/2 (NAP)
A strong stayer who I fancied last time out but has a tendancy to run lazily. Looks the ideal candidate for blinkers and has a huge chance of making amends for last time out.

Bet 2: 0.5 pts e/w Balthazar King 2.20 Cheltenham @ 14/1
Must be taken with a pinch of salt as he ran an abysmal race 2 runs ago but his best form has come on a fast surface, has run well at cheltenham on a different part of the course and indicates he will stay further than 3m2f (tomorrows 3m7f on firm ground) On best form could run a big race and at a price is definatley worth a bet.

Bet 3: 0.5pts e/w Aather 12.35 Cheltenham @ 25/1
Difficult ride and possibly not the sort of ride for a 10 lb claimer but definitley weighted to win a similar level contest. Went close off this mark (121) in Jan '10 looking the winners but idling badly (I remember as I was on!) would be much more confident with a more experienced rider but 25/1 is much too big a price and should be back (admittedly with caution)

Bet 4: 1.5 pts win Youm Jamil 1.35 Doncaster @ 8/1
One of few horses to achive a lower jumps rating than flat but finally ran well over hurdles from 3 lbs out of the handicap last time out on his H'cap debut. Runs from 2 lbs out of it tomorrow which in essence makes him 1 lb lower than his last run. Looks like a galloping 2m will suit him well and the same jockey (Harry Skelton) keeps the ride. Definitley looks one to keep an eye on closely and could run a big race.

Good luck all. lets hope for some more luck tomorrow!
