RACING CHAT Monday 13 January

[WEIGHTWATCHER]

Good afternoon all.

Two national hunt meetings today from Punchestown and Exeter but no solid selections to advise I'm afraid.

Looking forward I think it is going to be quiet at the start of this week before hopefully plenty of selections towards the end of the week and the weekend.

With ITV racing scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week will be looking closely at possibly any ante post value from today so will advise if I see anything,

Best of luck all who play today and whatever you play on. 

[Bang on]

Lots of interest, but difficult to nail down definite selections, eventually settled on the following.

Daily NAP

2.00 Ling - Existent - 11/4 generally - A tricky 5f sprint but the selection is knocking at the door (2nd 13 days ago), and drops in grade. Trainer Stuart Williams is 19% at the course, and in decent form - 4 wins, 4 placed from 24 in last 2 weeks. Was a BF LTO and looks capable of going 1 better today.

Daily EW

3.38 Exeter - Push to Pass - 15/2 with 1/5th 5 places with most firms. Lightly raced and could be anything. With a very good trainer Harry Derham, who has a 27% SR at the course, and is 1 winner, 5 placed , from his last 9 runners, added to that the stable looks to be coming back into form. With 5 places and a fair chance of winning, EW is fair value IMO.
