Weekend starts the National Hunt season proper

THIS IS THE DOLDRUMS TIME OF YEAR  all in capitals cos its true - the big guns not yet ready for the national hunt season but the call is get ready for some fantastic jumping dual's.

Hardly placing a bet its such dull stuff at the moment - running the analyzer to make sure I have all the stats on sires and progeny - you can smell the frost on the way and the joy of  Sandown Ascot and Cheltenham. hot toddy and misty fruitfulness to come.

That was a bit lyrical but my passion for the jumping game is well known and have taken the opportunity of going to a few yards to see old friends and  young bucks  early morning gallops and seeing the first attempts at popping a fence--- cant wait for it in real time.

The race that has still got the blood hot must be this weekends  Cesarewitch  over 2m2f at newmarket   the trends for this race are pretty solid and have got them ready for the blog later as we see both the ground predictions and how many line up - currently 91? too many to analyse - its always a big field and a yummy market for each way betting - 8 of 10 winners were priced 16/1 or below Caracciola was a shock 50/1 winner in 2008 and Never Can Tell at 25/1 last year have been the 2 big upsets with the other 8 winners since 2002 all going off 16/1 or below.Favourites (2-4-12) have won 2 of the last 10 and giving a level stakes profit of 1.00.

 but don't forget the opening meeting at Chepstow and the slog that will be Hexham this weekend 

Hope the blog will give us some winners and dark horses 

 good luck make sure you don't waste too much of your satchel - cos the real racing is round the corner
