2.20 Fakenham Wonderful Charm 5/6 Paddy Power BOG Another 2 horse race. Lets hope I get it right this time! Henderson has a great record here and runs Bears Affair who has run over fences several times without success. Their stable is yet to hit top form but their record here is well respected. However Wonderful Charm won the Persian War Hurdle around this time last year easily and then ran 6 months later against Solwhit at Cheltenham. He looks to have far more potential than his rival and should win if he stands up. In addition the stable have had 2 novice chase winners this week so far. 1 Point win for nap Purposes Wonderful Charm 5/6 Paddy Power BOG

Re: BBOTH Friday 25th October D3.10 Pearl Ice e/w 25/1 Stan James A high draw should be the place to be here and this one has plenty of other positives. The c&d win is certainly one that not many horses in the race can claim and that win was off just a 4lb lower mark when arguably not particularly well drawn - all the horses just behind it were drawn higher. The jockey also gets on really well with the horse and these conditions (big field, fast run race on slowish ground) should be just about perfect.
