Morning all.

A 5/1 winner yesterday meant a small profit to start the year but was left kicking myself at the end of the day.

At Cheltenham felt Sean Bowen was too patient on What A Johnny when the reverse forecast might have been landed with Strackan, but was really annoyed with myself in the closing bumper. Knew that Precious Metal (won 16/1) was closely matched with Marhaba Star (hence the advised reverse forecast) on previous running and did toy with the fact it might reverse the previous length defeat over yesterday's slightly longer trip.

With hindsight (what a wonderful thing) should definitely have put up Precious Metal at the bigger price each way. Was more annoyed that had missed out on a potential decent winner for all the members on the forum!

With that now off my chest, have already looked at the UK action for today and tomorrow over the jumps and can see nothing of any value unfortunately to advise you as a bet. Will be looking hard at the weekend cards today and hoping there will be bets to had on the weekend.

Have dipped into the French racing today for some sort of interest if anyone wants to have a peek at my selections.

For all those who do play in the UK today, the very best of luck.
