Lay of the day 25th Jan

1.05 Fontwell Tricky trickster surely has to prove too much for all these rivals today having won the National Hunt Chase at cheltenham festival last year this is clearly just a case of getting a run into him before the weights are released for the National and this looks a prime opportunity for him to gain some confidence and fitness and therefore I feel Chamirey will have it all to do having to step up in trip and giving weight away. 1pt lay chamirey

Re: Lay of the day 25th Jan 3.00 Newcastle: Washington Irving 1pt win lay Too short IMO at current price of 4/7 given this is a decent step up in trip from debut win over hurdles. This will take a lot of getting today with the underfoot conditions and I would rather be on Bygones of Brid or Edge of Town in this contest at the prices. There is no doubt that Washington Irving deserves to be a warm jolly here, however at this price is has to go down as a lay rather than a play as this slog may not prove ideal at this stage of his hurdles career.
