RussP's Specialisation - Big Field Handicaps (Jumps)

[RussP]

New Years Resolution:- One Thread Only for Handicaps for me:ok Following on from the 'Specialisation' thread, I've started to post my analysis of all big field handicaps in the daily threads. For easy reference, I'm going to put them all in this one thread so you can see for completeness how (un)successful my thoughts prove to be! I will add in the selections made so far (copied from daily threads)...yes, ok I've had a good start but it looks good with a bit of success at the front end! For each selected race, I will post 1 or 2 selections, plus 3 against the field for forecast / tricast purposes. I won't necessarily be backing them all but will ONLY post up my fancies. Remember, no bet is no problem! For the purposes of the thread during 2007, I will keep P/L for the EW selections, the forecasts (using the Exacta) and the tricasts:ok ....although I do believe the tricast is a mug bet, some may choose to follow. Stakes will be calculated as 5pts EW for individual selections, 1pt combo on the forecast (6pts total), 1pt combo on the tricast (6pts total)

Re: Leicester 28/12 Leicester 3.30. Ppersonally I would steer clear but for those of you who want a bit of interest:- The 3 market leaders have decent credentials but question marks remain. LA GRANDE VILLEZ - in form stable but steps up to handicap company today DHEHDAAH - high in the handicap. SARIN - 17lb higher than when winning 2 starts ago Therefore my 2 EW against the field would be:- MAGIC SKY - capable on its day and will relish this soft ground. High in weights but useful 5lb claimer PRIME CONTENDER - creditable 9th in Cl 1 Ladbroke hurdle 12 days ago. Much easier grade today and down 2lb. For those looking at the forecast, I would recommend MAGIC SKY, PRIME CONTENDER and LA GRANDE VILLEZ as 3 to concentrate on. Again, not a heat to invest huge stakes on:ok Good luck with whatever you decide. __________________ RussP
