Hello Friend

I hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to the upcoming racing bonanza. What a time of year to be a jumps enthusiast!

Today's jumping action isn't really that exciting so I have four horses of interested running on the All-Weather. You can read about them HERE>>>

I have changed the daily posts a bit and added a 'Today's Stats' section. These are horses of interest that have some interesting stats which suggest they may run a decent race. They are not tips (i haven't looked at the other horses in the race for example) but more a pointer to help in your own crusade against the bookies, for you to use as you please. On closer inspection you may think they have a chance, or none at all! 

You can read the four horses of interest (10/1,7/1,10/1,7/2) HERE>>>

I have also repeated the post at the bottom of this email. 

On Thursday I plan to email you a Christmas gift - my plan is to try and pull together all of the free systems and reports from the last 12 months into one report. So, do look out for that. As always keep an eye on the blog as I will start to pull together some trends/stats pieces for the jumps action from Boxing Day onwards. 

Enjoy the rest of your day, 

Josh

Today's Stats Pointers Below...(always updated on the blog by 10am although I am trying to get them up the evening before) 

TODAY'S STATS

3.20 Chelm - Excellent Guest - 10/1 - the form of the yard initially caught the eye, 3/7, 4 places in the last 14 days. This horse ran well behind a winner for the blog last time out, Forceful Appeal. He came from the back off a slow pace, and had to challenge very wide, circling the field. The way he was vigorously ridden suggests to me they expected a bold run. Boonga Roogeta and the Johnston horse may ensure there is more pace in here, the former dangerous if able to dictate - but she isnt quite firing just yet, finishing tamely for me LTO. He will need some luck, and doesnt win too often, but there are a few positives there if the leaders come back and he can come through the field.

4.55 Chelm - Sylvette - 7/1 (bet365, 6/1 general) - Varian is 6/17, 10 places with his handicappers here, and is 7/20, 11 places in the last 30 days. This horse is having her second run after over a year off, gets cheekpieces and steps up massively in trip, which the breeding suggests could be interesting. There are reasons to expect a better run than LTO.

5.25 Chelm - Brigantian - 10/1 (general) - Simcock is 10/25, 14 places with his handicappers here to date, 10/53, 19 places with handicap debutants in the last 2 years, and 3/5, 4 places when Spencer rides for him here, in handicaps. The trainer is 3/8, 6 places in last 2 weeks. This horse takes a step up in trip which should suit. Interesting.

7.10 Wolvs - Hickster - 7/2 (general) - At the shorter end of the market this horse is developing a liking for this CD, now 4/9, 6 places. He won last time when able to dictate from the front and having looked at the pace it looks like he could get an easy lead again if he wants it. He is only 4 and could still be open to improvement. If he can lead, save energy, and then kick, he should run his race.
