Interesting write up as ever. Agree that Graystone might struggle up the hill (ragged late on last twice). Message Personnel could improve if jumping better. I've backed Fleurman who looks made for this kind of test and gets a useful 7lbs from the top 2.

Haseef 7:30 Southwell (10/1 SBK). Just a very small bet on this one as he might do better 2nd run back after a long absence after showing the odd glimpse of ability as a 2 year old. Knew my fate pretty early there! Slowly away again, did stay on but was never going to land a blow. Will probably win a race buy not with my money on 😆

Middlesbrough to beat Blackburn 23/12 (SBK). Blackburn have gone off the boil in the last few games and are without their goal scorer Ben Brereton Diaz, while Middlesbrough have been in great form since Wilder took over.

Kodi Gold 1.10 Lingfield. Well backed just before the off here last time over 6f, was slowly away and only really got going entering the straight but could never quite get there. Extra furlong should suit and clearly in good form, 11/4 seems pretty fair to me. Final Nudge 3:00 Sandown. This could be a real slog given the weather forecast! Aso obviously has a touch of class, but I think it would take a big performance to give weight all round. Final Nudge stays all day and gets a very useful 12lb from Aso and can grind him down. 7/2 from 6/1 already. Both found one too good, pretty frustrating but there you go 😌

Wonder if Brian Hughes went a little too soon last time? Looks the obvious one to me as proven on the ground and track, but not getting involved at 11/10.

La Ligerien 2.50 Chepstow. I thought he ran with some promise at Doncaster before fading 2 out, made a couple of bad errors which didn't help. Drop back in trip makes sense, goes well on heavy and likes forcing the pace which often suits at Chepstow. Well handicapped off 112 today, peak hurdles rating of 137. Can't see why he shouldn't run well today at 14/1 (bet365). Wins well 😎 jumped way better, runner up ready to win too.

Nottingham Forest 1.95 £55 win

Karl Philippe 1:45 Ascot (5/1). Looked a sure fire future winner on chase debut at Carlisle, jumping boldly in the main. The winner that day went in again next time 10lb higher. Bad run 🤮

Fulham 1.85 £25 win single

Seems logical that weight is more difficult to carry on heavy ground/galloping track. I like ones with 10-0 and a 7lb claimer!

Going to be gruelling at Hexham, low weights should have an advantage. Gone for a silly £1 e/w acca for 20k +. Shoughall Boy 12.20 Flaming Glory 12.50 The Dawn Man 13.50 Charm Offensive 14.20 Southeast Rose 14:50 Espoir Morivire 3:20 Out on 2nd leg

Cilaos Grace 12:50 Fontwell. Surprised this has drifted to 10/1 (bet365) (opened 9/2 yesterday while Galileo Silver was still in). Backed into fav last time at Fontwell after 6 months off and ran ok in 2nd, should be sharper for the run and slightly further trip should help. Met Flaminger over hurdles here a couple of years ago and won easily by 33 lengths giving 7lb, long time ago but an indicator of their ability. EDIT Morfee in from 20/1 last night into 4/1. 5 year old, only had 5 runs, maybe they are expecting Mor(e) today! Wins 🤑 jumped better today until the last couple when he was tired. Thought I was going to get the forecast as well but Whoshotwho faded.
