Re: flat racing fri 2nd jan 12.50 Southwell Wreningham is far too bigger price at 20/1. He has some really useful CD form and has come back after a lengthy layoff to still show he has the ability. His 2^nd run back was a solid 2^nd over CD behind Incomparable (gets a 5lb turnaround with him today). Not so good at Wolves latest start but could easily bounce back over this CD off a further 1lb lower mark and now 5lb below last winning mark. 1pt e/w Wreningham 20/1 PP 2.30 Southwell Sleet should prove very hard to beat here today. Has almost been exclusively raced at this venue like several of these yards runners. Good return to action from a summer break on latest start behind revitalised winner. The form of that race has worked well with both the 3^rd and 4^th winning since. Yard going well at present and useful apprentice takes over today claiming a handy 5lb and should strip fitter for the run. 2pt win Sleet 7/4 bet365 6.45 Wolverhampton Unusual looking class 7 handicap with several inform sorts. Spoken Words bounced back to form last time out as a 28/1 winner. Didn’t appear to have a lot to spare so a 6lb penalty may scupper any chance of a repeat and isn’t exactly a reliable sort. Tsarglas won with a bit more ease over a mile at Kempton latest, in first time visor. Not convinced a drop in trip will suit given how he got outpaced turning in before staying on strongly. Also runs under a penalty and apprentice not in the saddle today so effectively 9lb higher today more needed at quite skinny odds. Opus Dei might be worth taking a risk on, in his day he was rated much higher than most of these. Been off the track for a lengthy period before having 3 runs with previous yard, glimmers of hope in one of those runs and handicapper giving him a real chance. Joined a new yard and if that yard have found the key to him again he is dangerously well handicapped on his best form. 1pt e/w Opus Dei 10/1 VC
