RESULTS UPDATE
I was a bit unlucky not to get a double in with Midnight Moss failing by a nose.  I got 4 pts returned as Bold endeavour was a non runner.  This created a loss of -4 and an MTD of -88.93. My YTD loss is -352.37 which has gone to money heaven this year.
I think that the change over from the flat to the jumps took its toll and December was a bad month for me as well.  I came close on more than one occasion in significantly reducing the deficit but it just didn't happen.
I will change tactics in the New Year.  I am dropping the Trixies and Multiples as the wait for a decent win is just too long IMO.  Instead I will be focussing on singles bets using back to lay, Lay to back and even just Lay Bets.  After all it would seem that I am good at finding losers, haha.
Many thanks to all the PL contributors this year who provided some great input to help members make a profit.
Have a good New Year's eve everyone and may I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year

What better way to celebrate the New Year than with racing from the home of National Hunt racing Cheltenham. ITV have four races from the Cotswolds course including the highly competitive 1.55 which features seventeen runners. Musselburgh are also in on the action with a brace of class 2 handicaps. Here’s my thoughts on the six races.   Cheltenham 1.20 Six go to post for the Dipper Novices’ Chase run over 2m 4 1/2F of the new course. The best in at the weights here is Olly Murphy’s Thunder Rock who comes here chasing a hat trick of wins over fences having previously scored in handicaps at Uttoxeter and Ascot under A P Heskin and he should be competitive although I just prefer Paul Nicholls’ Monmiral in a race that may well turn into a match between that pair. Monmiral is a smart hurdler rated just 2lb inferior to Thunder Rock who bumped into one on his chase debut when 7L second to the smart and subsequent winner Jonbon. Sure to be better for that spin over the big obstacles he can take this with Harry Cobden doing the steering.   MONMIRAL 2 points win @ 5/4 bet365   Musselburgh 1.35 An open looking 2m 4 1/2F class 2 handicap chase is the first of two races at the Scottish course shown by the ITV cameras today. A case can be made for most of these with top weight Minella Drama trained by Donald McCain worth a small stakes investment. A smart novice last season winning twice including in grade two company at Haydock the seven year old has keep good company on both starts this season in non handicap company at Carlisle and Haydock. The last time we saw him in handicap company was on his fencing debut in October 2021 when an easy 8 1/2L winner at Uttoxeter and is only a couple of pounds higher here. Pay The Piper had Dubai Days (2 1/2L) and Cedar Hill (5 1/4L) behind him last time at Kelso and can confirm that form for the shrewd Ann Hamilton operation based in Northumberland. Down at the bottom of the handicap and a pound wrong is Iain Jardine’s Half Shot who’s chasing a three timer having won at Sedgefield in October and back over hurdles here a month later. He’s not without a chance as is Stuart Coltherd’s eight year old Coopers Cross who was third in a better handicap than this at Aintree last time. A tough race but it’s just Minella Drama for me.   MINELLA DRAMA 1 point each way @ 4/1 William Hill 1/5th 123     Cheltenham 1.55 A maximum bumper field of seventeen will go to post for this premier handicap, the Paddy Power New Year’s Day Handicap Chase run over 2m 4F 127 yards of the new course. The race looks open with several holding good chances and you really will need some luck in running. The Paddy Power Gold Cup run over this trip but on the old course back in November featured several of these with the Skelton’s Midnight River finishing third, Il Ridoto 4th, Deyrann De Carjac 5th, Nassalam 6th, Simply The Bets 7th and Stolen Silver unseating his rider three out. The best of that group may well be Midnight River who appears to have as good a chance as any here. I’m prepared to take that form line on mind with my pair against the field Kim Bailey’s Happygolucky and Nicky Henderson’s mare Fantastic Lady. The former ran a cracking race on his seasonal re-appearance up at Newcastle when third in the Rehearsal Chase to L’Homme Presse and Into Overdrive. That form has been boosted since and although he’s dropping in trip today can run a big race. Henderson’s Fantastic Lady comprehensively beat Zambella (won twice since) last time in a mares only listed chase and like Happygolucky shouldn’t mind dropping half a mile in trip. With enhanced places I’ll play the pair.   HAPPYGOLUCKY 1 point each way @ 9/1 William Hill 1/5th 123456 FANTASTIC LADY 1 point each way @ 14/1 bet365 /5th 12345   Cheltenham 2.30 The [email protected] Relkeel Hurdle is a grade two contest run over 2m 4 1/2F of the new course and we have a nice sized field of nine going to post for this prestigious contest. The two best treated at today’s weights are Olly Murphy’s Brewin’upastorm and Jeremy Scott’s Dashel Drasher. They are the only two in the race not penalised and as both are the joint oldest in the field are worth taking on. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ I Like To Move It is three from five at Cheltenham and having spread eagled his field in the Greatwood Hurdle here back in November off of top weight is the the one to beat. Nicky Henderson’s First Street also won a good handicap off of a big weight last time and comes into the reckoning whilst Paul Nicholls’s Knappers Hill is a rapidly improving hurdler who’s chasing a five timer today. Henderson also runs his smart mare Marie’s Rock but she’s coming back from a 246 day absence. They all have claims but I’ll go with I Like To Move It with trainer’s son Sam Twiston Davies in the saddle.   I LIKE TO MOVE IT 2 points win @ 4/1 BetVictor   Musselburgh 2.45 Eleven have declared for the 1m 7 1/2F class 2 handicap hurdle. Musselburgh is a sharp flat track that suits the speedy flat types and Archie Watson’s Al Zaraqaan certainly falls into that bracket. Rated 102 on the all weather on the level he’s shown a real liking for timber winning four on the bounce (including one in Sweden!). He was very impressive when winning over course and distance at the beginning of last month and despite a 9lb rise is likely to be very competitive again under Sean Quinlan who takes over from regular rider Gavin Sheehan who’s required at Catterick today. The Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero trained Homme Public is maybe his biggest danger. His third behind Love Envoi last time at Sandown was boosted when the runner up that day Playful Saint bolted up in the week and off of the same mark and in first time cheek pieces should run well. Donald McCain’s Nayati was behind that day and looks held. Socialist Agenda was third to AL Zaraqaan last time beaten only three lengths and on 9lb better terms is another who can go close but the winner won easily that day and he’s the selection today.   AL ZARAQAAN 2 points win @ 7/2 bet365   Cheltenham 3.05 Next up is a class 2 handicap hurdle run over just short of three miles with a field of eleven declared. Plenty are in with a chance including Nicky Henderson’s Call Me Lord who’s young jockey mistook the winning post at Sandown last time when going down by a nose to the re-appearing Dolphin Square. James Bowen takes over from the 7lb claiming Ben Bromley but I still favour the amateur ridden Dolphin Square to confirm the form. A consistent nine year old ridden and owned by David Maxwell was a credible runner up in this last year from a 4lb lower mark. Maxwell is not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s a trier and has won many races in his career. Back in third that day only a short hard behind the aforementioned pair was the Skelton’s Wilde About Oscar who also has claims. Warren Greatrex’s Abuffalosoldier has had his Newbury win boosted by the subsequent victory of the runner up Steal A March on Boxing Day at Wincanton whilst the Paul Nicholls trained Jet Of Magic may have more to offer. Another tough race but I’ll play Dolphin Square each way.   DOLPHIN SQUARE 1 point each way @ 7/1 Betfred 1/5th 1234   Happy New Year everyone - here's to a healthy 2023 and lot of winners for us all !!

Following a day’s break the ITV cameras are back for five races at Newbury with the feature race being the Challow Hurdle which Paul Nicholls is looking for his fifth success in the race, having previously won it with the likes of Denman, Bravemansgame and Stage Star. There’s also a brace of modest handicaps from Warwick and one on the all-weather at Lingfield. Eight in total and here are my early thoughts and selections for all eight.   Newbury 1.15 Eleven chasers line up for this 2m 92 yard class 3 handicap chase. The most interesting horse by far is the Venetia Williams trained six year old Gamaret who hasn’t been seen on a racecourse since last February and is making his chasing and handicap debut. He could quite easily blow these all away or bomb out! Chris Gordon’s Only Money has claims although the handicapper appears to just about have his measure whilst a more interesting runner is last year’s winner Gallic Geordie who’s 9lb higher than that success and whilst he should run well for trainer Samuel Drinkwater he may need softer ground. No outsiders take my eye and I’ll take a chance on the aforementioned Gamaret for Venetia and Charlie Deutsch.   GAMARET 2 points win @ 10/3 William Hill   Warwick 1.35 Thirteen go to post for this class 4 3m 2F handicap hurdle which is not as competitive as the numbers would suggest. The likely favourite is the Philip Hobbs trained Langley Hundred who is chasing a hat trick following victories at Exeter and Ludlow under 10lb claiming conditional jockey Elizabeth Gale. The horse has only risen 6lb for that brace of wins and should be there at the finish today. He beat Dan Skelton’s Farmers Gamble 4 1/4L last time and on 4lb better terms should get closer today. Christian Williams’ Lord Snootie makes his handicap debut and is one to watch in the market but Williams is very much out of form at present and is passed over. Not a great race by ITV standards and I’ll stick with the proven form of Langley Hundred to small stakes.   LANGLEY HUNDRED 1 point win @ 7/2 bet365   Newbury 1.50 Next up is a class 2 handicap hurdle which has attracted fourteen participants. The two most interesting runners are both making their handicap debuts. Harry Fry’s Lady Adare, who’s missed a couple of recent engagements down to the ground and is unbeaten in four starts, a bumper for Micky Hammond and three novice hurdles for Fry. She could be well treated off of 130. The other possible blot on the handicap is the Skelton’s Pikar who impressed when winning at Chepstow last time out in a novice hurdle and has been well backed since the 48 hour declarations were made. Lucy Wadham’s Martello Sky looks favourably handicapped and can’t be ruled out off of his last winning mark whilst top weight Soaring Glory is back over hurdles and not out of this either. There’s others with chances as well but I’ll take Lady Adare, who trainer Fry has spoken well off in a recent stable file, to take advantage of a possible lenient handicap mark.   LADY ADARE 2 points each way @ 6/1 bet265 1/5th 1234   Warwick 2.10 Only nine go to post for this class 4 three mile conditional jockeys’ veterans’ handicap chase. Dan Skelton’s Go Steady heads the market following a solid success at Lingfield in a similar race at the beginning of the month under today’s pilot Tristan Durrell. He’s two from five at the track and with just a 4lb rise should be thereabouts although is scant value at around the 15/8 mark. Tom George’s Smuggler’s Blues would have probably finished runner up to the eventual winner Certainly Red at Wincanton last time but for crashing out at the second last and is another with claims despite a 3lb rise. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s Midnight Moss is the one I like here mind. The ten year old is quite lightly raced for one so old ( he turns eleven next week) having run only 13 times and ran a fine race, his first since a wind operation and a 232 day break, when runner up to Rocky’s Treasure at Doncaster three weeks ago and with that run under his belt now can go one better in what looks a very winnable race.   MIDNIGHT MOSS 1 point win @ 10/3 bet365   Newbury 2.25 The Coral Racing Club Mandarin Handicap Chase has a long tradition and has attracted a decent sized field of sixteen staying chasers this year. It has a real open look about it with certainly no stand out bets. Venetia Williams’s Laskalin is up 5lb for his Ludlow victory a month ago and is one for the short list along with Jamie Snowden’s Tallow For Coal who was last seen at Lingfield in November beating Pemberley 7 1/2L. The latter re-opposes on 5lb better terms and can get closer for the Emma Lavelle team. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ top weight Undersupervision will need to jump better than he did at Chepstow on his re-appearance but that is a distinct possibility. At a monster price I’m going to play Alex Hales’ Fagan. He’s very well handicapped on some of his back form at this Berkshire track. He flopped on his re-appearance in the Becher Chase but that course isn’t for everyone and after a years break it’s quite easy to forgive him that run. He’s in the veteran stage now and turns 13 years of age next week but with Hales having a couple of winners over Christmas plus the booking of Harry Cobden is worth a small stakes each way bet with enhanced place terms.   FAGAN 1/2 point each way @ 66/1 BetVictor 1/5th 12345   Lingfield 2.40 ITV are showing this one mile class 3 fillies handicap which looks open enough with chances given to all six runners. Wadacre Grace comes into this in decent enough form having finished runner up on his last two starts at Kempton and Southwell and holds claims whilst fellow three year old Morgan Fairy is not without a shout. With stakes kept small it may be worth a small wager on Ed Walker’s top weight Sunset Bay. The four year old filly hasn’t been seen since September and is 0 from 2 on the all weather but she’s been running mostly in listed and group company this year since winning two handicaps on the turf in the Summer. Rob Hornby gets the call up and could be the answer to this tricky handicap.   SUNSET BAY 1 point win @ 5/1 bet365   Newbury 3.00 The feature race of the days entertainment at Newbury is the Coral Challow Novices’ Hurdle a grade one contest run over 2m 4 1/2F which has attracted its biggest field this century with fourteen going to post including two representatives from Ireland. A warm favourite is Paul Nicholls’ Hermes Allen who’s looked a smart prospect winning at Stratford and Cheltenham this winter. Nicholls likes to run his best novice hurdler here and saddles Her see Allen. He must have every chance with the only thing not to like is his price at around the 5/4 mark. There’s plenty of promising sorts in opposition here including Nicky Henderson’s Cheltenham winner Attacca and Fergal O’Briens’ Ascot winner Crambo. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ Idalka Bihoue, who was a very easy winner at Worcester in October, falls into the ‘could be anything’ bracket and is a big priced possible. The horse I want to be with though is the Skelton’s Vicki Vale, one of two mares in the race. She coasted home at Hereford in November on her hurdling debut and although there was little depth to the contest it was the visual performance that stood out with her trainer stating afterwards that ‘she could be anything’ and ‘she looks very very good’. The owners Bullen-Smith and Faulks’ West Balboa was second in this race last year and they have a decent chance to take the first prize this year round. Make sure you find a firm that is paying the 4th place (William Hill, bet365, Skybet and Boylesports).   VICKI VALE 1 1/2 points each way @ 9/1 bet365 1/5th 1234   Newbury 3.35 Ten line up for this class 3 2m 6F 93 yards novices’ handicap chase. It’ll take a good one to take the first prize with five last time out winners starting. Tea For Free did us a favour last time at Uttoxeter under Lily Pinchin and has claims again despite a 6lb rise. Fergal O’Brien’s Nothin To Ask is chasing a hat trick following wins at Chepstow and Doncaster but has risen 16lb for that brace of wins. Malinello won after a long layoff and a wind operation at Newcastle last time for Ben Pauling and should be thereabouts. A wide open contest although anyone that saw Nicky Henderson’s top weight Bold Endeavour win at Leicester last time will want to be with him again despite a 9lb rise in the weights. That was his first run for the master of Seven Barrows having joined from Laura Morgan and although it was gained on a unseasonable good to firm terrain he has shown last season he copes with slow ground and he’s the selection under Nico De Boinville.   BOLD ENDEAVOUR 2 points win @ 9/2 bet365  

Saturday already!
11.50 I've taken 4.9 and 1.9 about the hat trick seeking Starshiba. The gelding carries another 3lb penalty taking his rating to 75, still seems lenient for a horse that has won off 82 in the past. I do realise that Gidwa beat Starshiba and is  2lb better off but that was before the selection hit form. He only ever wins on the all weather and could go in again tomorrow.................................................................................given a lot to do, got the place at 1.87? 
12.10 Grivetana is down in class after finishing runner up in a Class 1 (Gerry Fielden)  last time out, the third placed has franked the form and 2.3 is a fair price.................................................................................................................................................................got that one all wrong ?
12.25 Kateira looked a really useful prospect winning on hurdling debut winning quite easily and obviously there is more to come, trading around the 2.9 mark on the exchanges, may have a saver on Vic Peak depending how the prices go nearer the off. - Sat morning, Kateira a non runner si I've gone in for Victorias Peak at 4.2 and 2.1 2Tbp...........................................................................................................................2nd place at 2.1, better than nowt as they say..?
1.00 Its a race where School for Scandal can race from his proper mark having been out of the handicap last time out but still managing to finish second, just held, the front two were 19 lengths in front of the third and he must have a chance at a price tomorrow, currently 9/1 best with the books or 11 on the exchanges, win and place bet.........................Sat morning, School for Scandal has halved in price (even after the non runner) I've an average of 10 and have traded out for an average of 5 for an average profit of .98 of a point regardless of the result, common sense to me, always look after your stake.?
1.08 Still just a 5 year old so hopefully more to come from Secret Trix, won last time out after being upped in distance to 3 miles for the first time, tomorrows race is deeper but he's only ben raised 3lbs so at around the 5 mark could be a good win and place offering......................................................................................................................................................................................hit 1.15 in running (lay off price reached) but had to settle for a place once again, place price I got was 1.95?
1.30 Another upped just three pounds for a first win over a new distance is Vision of Hope, won over 12 furlongs last time out, tomorrows race is no harder so a good showing is hoped for, win and place. Uther Pendragon is looking for a 4 timer so it wont be easy. On the exchanges at around 5.5........................................................................................................................................... finally a winner WON returned at a Bfsp of 5.12, 5.5 was better, placed at 2.13?
2.10 Raised 3lbs for falling last time is Smugglers Blues, he was in with a fir chance when falling three out at Wincanton, tomorrows race is no more difficult so is worth chancing at around the 11/2 mark and drifting and around 7.6 on the exchanges, win and place................got that one totally wrong ?
2.40 Never out of the first three on the all weather Morgan Fairy has a real chance in this Class 3 at Lingfield, 3.7 on the exchanges but will probably have a saver on Sunset Bay at around the 13 mark, down in Class for the first time since finishing 2nd in a Class 3 HCap off a higher mark 16 months ago.................                                                                                                                ................lots of late money for this one, nice to get the early 3.7 WON......?
3.00 A Grade 1 Novice Hurdle, Hermes Allen looked one to follow after winning a Grade 2 race unchallenged, beating a 129 rated Elliott horse so a rating of 142 looks very fair, he has of course got to give 7lb to some of his rivals tomorrow but he really did look one to follow, trading around the 2.58 mark..............................................................................................................................WON very easily, looks a nice prospect and nice to get the early 2.52.?
3.15 I'm hoping that Levi Williams has learnt his lesson, he should have won on Nubough at Lingfield last time out, gave the horse far too much to do, had him far too wide and only just failed, he's been raised 2 lbs for that but this race is no harder. Trading at 4.8 or 7/2 with the books.
 
As always I'll have lay off prices in running.
 
Good luck tomorrow everyone.
