Sunday 2nd January - racing is on

Hi Guys and hope the feeling is coming back into your limbs.
the racing today does not inspire me - am running analyser as I type  - only three naps put up on the VFB yesterday tells it all .
 Haven't Heard from that Reprobate Martin and that's a worry - hope the bordello he frequents will allow him out now he's completed all the safety checks. 
Folkstone is just down the road and hoping my girls will emerge soon to take the ole boy out for some fresh air but that's looking a bit unlikely so it may be a betfair afternoon
The welsh grand National is on Saturday the 8th and currently 32 runners still in but expect that to reduce quite a bit and hopeful this race will not be called off again as heavy frost still forecast Thursday onwards there are frost warnings for tomorrow too so we not clear yet.
Have you put sires into your analyser? this may be one of those daft questions that everyone will know about -but for you out there who still Dont I would urge you to look at the top ten sires at the very least and bung them in - can be found on racing post site and does not take a minute or two - same thing applies to Irish raiders who have a great success rate at certain tracks  and Trainers who have a great success rate with headgear first time 
gives you an edge,
And while am at it - is there an angle you have apart from these that you want to tell me about?
So today?
 Plumpton offers some decent first time chasers and horses to keep an eye out for am most interested in the 1.05 however - Tullimore Dew ran a corker round here to be second to Medermit  last time staying on so well at the finish and you can see Medermit credentials by its run yesterday at Cheltenham -but am interested in what the market says for - King Ozzy is a better horse for this forecast g/soft ground -and Marston is riding out of his skin.  Went really well in a tuff soft ground 2m Lingfield chase beaten 1/2 length by Noble Crusader  who came from nowhere under Tom Scudamore the ground stopped Ozzy and Warren Marston looked over his wrong shoulder thinking he had the race run (watch on atr) will improve for this track and added furlong. A five horse race with a newcomer Georgio Quercus from the Henderson horse under McCoy (was a better hurdler than Ozzy thats for sure) that combination  will keep its price down. its been kept on the go by running in that bumper for jumpers at Kempton last week.
 good luck all


post race - A good little novice chase and a fine round of jumping from TULLAMORE DEW, whose second to Medermit over this C&D last time had been given a nice boost when Alan King´s grey ran so well in the Dipper Chase at Cheltenham the previous day. Soon sent to the front, he made every yard, and while the result was in some doubt when they turned into the straight and Giorgio Quercus drew up alongside, it´s probably fair to say he was still the likelier winner. He deserves a step up in class now, and his sure-footed jumping should hold him in good stead. The Centenary Novices´ Handicap Chase (the old Jewson) at the Festival might be under consideration for him, and he´ll have one more run beforehand.
