Good Afternoon, Friend

I hope you've had a great weekend and maybe found a few winners? 

Going by my inbox and twitter replies, it looks as though a few of you took note of my Venetia Williams 'November' research and backed her two winners at Ascot on Friday, at a tasty 9/1 and 13/2 SP. Nice. 

It looks like being another profitable month for said angle, 3/12,6p so far, +8.21 Beffair SP. (+6 betfair place market) There's still eight days to go though and with any luck there may be a couple more winners lurking. 

If you missed that free post, you can find it HERE >>>

One final shout out for my Sean Bowen research also. The first 'official' qualifier against the angle I homed in on won at Exeter yesterday, 9/4 in a three runner race, another inspired ride. There's plenty more to pick up in my video also, but you can find all that HERE >>>

I've had a better few days than I have been having on the winners front. In truth this season has been a struggle at times, for all x30 2nds/3rds haven't helped, nor 7 falls/UR/BD, but thankfully from three picks on Friday I landed on 14/1 and 13/2 winners, to lift the mood. 

I didn't get involved on Saturday, but Gavin Priestley landed on Jersey Bean, at a nice 24/1 BFSP. As you know I licence his Winter Trends content and post on my blog, all good fun and winners like that always help. 

Sunday I had a couple of placed efforts, including the agony of St Erney being overhauled in the final 100 yards, by a Nick Williams trained horse. 

There's something about being a 'Williams' - Venetia's in form, Christian is having a good time of it, Evan a big winner on Saturday also. 

Husband and wife Nick & Jane Williams have been flying along also. They run horses under their own names, but they're based at the same location. I assume they train, plot and plan as one team at home by I'm not 100% sure on that, or whether they're in charge of their own strings and do things differently with each.   

In any case, Nick's last nine runners: 1, 10, 3, 1, 5, 5, 1, 5, 1, 

Jane's last nine runners: 1, 2, 1, 7, 10, 4, 8, 6 , 1 

They do very well with what they have and are going along well at the moment. Nick's horses had a quieter time of it last year, but 10/63, 23p all runners so far in 2021, which is decent. A team worth keeping an eye on, as is the horse that did for me at Exeter, Favori De Sivola. 

I wasn't sure if he'd be fit but got that wrong! Provided his wind stays sound, he's worth keeping on the right side of I think and there could be more to come this season as a staying chaser, all ground comes alike to him it seems and he stays further than 3m.

Adam Norman's exclusive notes are going down very well with members, and I now flag any runners/their notes each day, for ease of reference. 

As John R remarked, "I would just like to say how much I like the new layout of the site, really well balanced, a bit for every body"

They're a brilliant 'way in'. Adam goes track-side pro punting 2-4 times a week and takes notes while he's there, to help in the future. I post them every Monday /Tuesday. Last week he went to Catterick, Hexham and Haydock, which I've shared below...

Haydock (Nov 20th)

12.10

Barrichello; On toes and sweating, loads of size and will make a nice chaser.

Sonigino; Nice sort, athletic but a little unfurnished at present. Good sort in time.

Haute Estime; Big frame, leggy and unfurnished at present, shaped well in decent race.

*

12.40

Truckin Away; Big, strapping chaser, looked pretty straight, probably wants much softer.

Eclair Mag; Lengthy, a bit weak in front at present. Fit.

Silva Eclipse; Will probably improve again, wants softer ground.

Chef D’Ouvre; Should improve for this seasonal debut.

Defuture Is Bright; Active and alert, good bone. Looked fit and well. Jumping could be better and a bit softer may suit.

Furious De Ciergues; Light framed and leggy, big effort from a young horse, and it may leave a mark.

Amateur; Sturdy sort and travelled well into the straight, likely straighter next time.

*

1.15

Tommy’s Oscar; Lengthy, chase type, plenty of size. Really well in coat, very sound jumper.

Thibault; Active sort, enough size for fences. Looked well and ran right up to best.

Our Surprise; Very laid back in first time hood, medium sized and likely no better than average type, although looks a stayer especially as he settled better in headgear.

Calico; Medium, quite compact, might make a chaser. Ungainly head carriage and a bit to prove.

Lignou; Strong sort, fit enough but looks high in weights.

Wicked West; Keen looking with two handlers, looked well but could tighten up and do better although high in weights.

Mackenberg; Plain looking chase type, strong. Probably wants to go over fences.

Christopher Wood; Very sturdy and got warm, probably not fit.

*

1.50

Bravemansgame; Quite nice type although nothing special to look at, likely to keep improving with time.

Itchy Feet; Close coupled but has strengthened up, just lacks scope at this level and needs to win to allay fears over attitude.

Pay The Piper; Medium build, room to strengthen. On toes and ran a very sound race. Could be worth a go at 3m at some stage. Do better next season.

Alnadam; Nice horse, well made. Might have needed this and possibly being lined up for a decent handicap on soft.

*

2.25

Stoney Mountain; Looked well and although acts on ground, this was an insufficient test.

Orbys Legend; Nice type, good size although a bit unfurnished and sure to make a very nice chaser next season.

Bass Rock; Strong, medium build but should make a chaser, has come on physically a good deal in last 12 months. Can win again.

Flight Deck; Decent chase prospect, should be better served by softer.

Gladiateur Allen; Very strong individual, robust. Can do better.

Riggs; Fit and well, ridden closer to the pace and every chance, ability will be possibly summed up by new mark.

*

3.00

Bristol De Mai; Looked in great heart but ground was too lively.

Waiting Patiently; Looked very fit but has plenty to prove.

Royale Pagaille; Loads of size and may have needed the run, fair effort and better on soft.

Chatham Street Lad; Loads of size and scope, not out of place physically and mark seems fair.

*

3.35

Strictlyadancer; On toes and looked in great heart, type to relish even further.

Empire Steel; Tall, big frame still unfurnished, likely to prove pretty useful given stamina test.

Ramses De Teillee; Looked well, honest sort that loves softer and stays well.

Mr Muldoon; Medium build, strong, looks badly handicapped in this grade, may not stay 3m.

That's all for today, hopefully I've shared something useful/informative, 

All the best,
