---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to be a bit more cautious this month.  Midnight Glance lost but Born at Midnight won
Will do a couple of savers in the 8.30 at Chelms.  Grace Angel 2 pts win at 4.3 and Diomed Spirit 1 pt win at 6.2.  Will B/E if the favourite wins and mitigate the loss if either of the other two win. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Grace Angel would have got a lot closer had it not missed the break at the start of the race.  However, the double with Michaelos Boy, thanks to @Alastairwas the best outcome for me.  Pity that Midnight Glance didn't win.  Broke even on the day making 0.38 profit = MTD, YTD -263.06
Some class racing at Sandown tomorrow but a lot of short priced favourites.  A class 2 and class 3 at Newcastle looks interesting

hopefully a better month coming up

In the 12.07 Gerard Mentor won a better race than this in good style last time out, has another penalty to contend with here but that extra 7lb might not be enogh to stop him as he won that Class 4 race very easily indeed, winning by 18 lengths as he pleased, 4.3 on the exchanges, as we all know though, weight stops trains so I'll be having a saver on the Venetia Williams trained Natty Night, the stable is in great nick and a stable to follow in the coming weeks for sure, Natty Night was 3rd on seasonal debut and not given a hard time of it, the second and 8th came out to win next time out. Currently around the 4.4 mark.............wow....money spoke in that race, the winner well backed (halved in price)
 
Dollar Bae looks thrown in for the Mares race in the 2.17 at Leicester. Second last time out to Poetic Music at levels, that one went on to be placed in a Listed Race and is rated 120 so Dollar Brae getting in here for her Handicap debut off 101, Jonjo's had 4 winners from his last 16 so is in fair form. Dollar Bae is currently around the 2.86 mark on betfair and is drifitng a little which is surprising. I'll have a saver on the Donald McCain trained Somewhat Clouday at 8.2.............Dollar Bae did looked thrown in and won nicely, nice to get the early price of 2.86
 
In the last at Thurles at 3.35, Champagne Auction looks too big, current around the 9.8 mark on the exchanges and a small amount at 2.4 exchanged in the 4 tbp market, early days of course. Last time out he was a first time stable switcher and came home at 40/1 having been pulled up in his previous two races. This race is similar in strength to the one he won but he is coming back in trip hence the price. The second and third in that race have both come out and won giving the form a solid look to it and his 7lb rise in the weights looks fair to me. Win and place bet (4tbp)....11 and 3.0 tbp taken........................hit 1.01 in the place market but was headed on the line to finish 5th.
 
Good luck whatever you back/lay today.
 
An edit here, this is what Middleham Racing are saying about Parkhill Dancer in the 1.10 Market Rasen, housed in the Hendserson stable. Currently 2.46 on betfair.
Racing Update: Possibly the most exciting young National Hunt horse we have on our books. Unbeaten in his two races so far, this half-brother to the Grade 2 winning hurdler, Song For Someone, spreadeagled his opposition in his latest bumper at Exeter, sauntering to a 17 lengths, head in chest victory in a very good time. Awarded both Racing Post and Timeform ratings that day, commensurate with those of a high-class recruit. Undergoing the schooling process at Nicky’s Seven Barrows Stables, he’s pretty much ready to debut, and who knows where he will take us….? Goes about his business in a no-nonsense fashion at home. Grand National winning, former jockey, Marcus Armitage often rides him at home and they get on well. His race entries/declarations will show on this page: He is entered at Market Rasen on Thursday.

Correct, I've picked an odds on shot.
I am now odds on favourite to win the competition but we all know what sometimes happens to odds on shots !

Most winners

Good luck Michael, surely you will pick an odds-on shot for your final bet.  Vangovin needs a good-priced winner and of course, we can never underestimate Alastair's ability to choose a winner at a good price.  Very exciting

A notebook horse is Daysofourlives in the 6.50 Kempton. Two runs to date and has run incredibly green in both of them, slowly away last time but made good headway when it came to the business end of the race, more to come. The doubt of course is that the Marco Botti  stable could be looking for a handicap mark. Drifting a little  and now to 9.2 and 2,76 for the place. Win and place bet.................won at a Bfsp of 9.78, finished like a train, after just one win in my last seven on here I needed that!?
 
Good luck everyone.

7.50 Km Siskany 13/8 (2.30  3.26) Have faith that Will Buick has chosen the right horse to ride for Charlie Appleby)
1 x 1 pt win Trixie = 4 points = poss return of 139.70
Total stakes = 7 pts today
Greatgadian came 4th so I'm glad I didn't go each way with my bet.  Meisher won so have 4.50 pts to come back anyway
@richard-westwoodhas chosen my last leg race for his ratings bet today.  I have had a small 0.50 reverse forecast which won't amount to much and 0.50 win on Bellocia at 4/1 and 0.70 win at 3/1 on Wild Crusade.  I will be surprised if Wild Crusade beats Siskany and Will Buick has got it wrong but you never know,  If it does then maybe Will should speak to Richard in future about which horse he chooses to ride when he has more than one choice ?
9.20 stakes today

A neck and a nose prevented me from making a profit today with Siskany.  Well done to @richard-westwoodfor getting the winner.  I didn't lose on his bet.  My small loss today was 1.80 pts.  This makes my MTD  -51.70 and YTD -263.44
I must say that I am very pleased to get November out of the way.  This has been an awful transition from the flat to the jumps this year.
I have it all to do to try and get back into surplus before the end of the year with just one month to go.  Got to go for it though.
Looks like it is class 4 and below races tomorrow.  There are two class 3 races, one with a favourite in at 6/5 and the other with a Willie Mullins horse in at 4/7.  The bookies don't make it easy for us do they?
