very early LOL I hate getting up early :-(((

some decent enough fare, weather permiting of course.

Ascot

145 Another marathon Hurdle lol

I love HARDLY USELESS as you all know ,and he looked as if he would stay lto 
flws

If he survives the last hurdle  and is thereabouts he will not have INGLIS 
DRIVER in front of him this time, so SPECIAL ENVOY is a must for the short 
list.

I think that DOUMEN being the patient trainer he is will have KASBAH BLISS 
primed to finally step up,and hammered in the World Hurdle at the Festival 
has come back stronger this year imho must have a place chance at least..

2.15

Once JACK THE GIANT got in the faces have helped themselves and why he is 
lbs better off here over hurdles i still have my doubts,i think judging by 
his exploits his future is very much over the bigger obstacles.But Iwould 
not put anyone off backing him thats for sure.

A couple of improvers catch the eye MISSIS POTTS and KANAD ,the former is 
improving hand over fist and must be considered,like MP KANAD has made 
Holiday Vouchers galore for me and I`m prepared to overlook his lto run on 
what was loosely described as heavy going lol
The Irish raider is not without a decent chance but this is very much 
tougher than anything he has had to deal with previously imhp

Haydock

1.30 NOM DE GURRE has taken to hurdling well,but may  be a tad too short for 
me.

3.05 The consitent NIKOLA  may have found an opportunity to open her a/c 
over fences,the ground will be suited today.flws

Newcastle

2.25 FRANKIE FIGG cost lto with a stumble and fall but can make amends here 
imo

thats it,good luck all

Wow that is early for you 00:05 !

Well my study today has been hampered by xmas shopping which I hate but 
luckily kept to a minimum, everything done in 2 hours, no problem but 
now I just have to really on my top-ratings and gut feeling.

Anyway, on to the real action today.

Best bet today for me is HARDY EUSTACE, have him clear of the rest here, 
decent figures posted last time and the only likely challenger (at this 
stage) to Inglis Drever. Despite cracking on in years is still unexposed 
at this level and he will fight for you all the way to the line. NAP bet.

In the Silver Cup at 1:05 MADISON DU BERLAIS can continue the good run 
of David Pipe.

In the Ladbroke hurdle, very competitive but I like TROUBLE AT BAY for 
Alan King who has his team in fine form at the moment. Good reappearance 
effort for him and if he can build on that is still potentially fairly 
handicapped on his best hurdles form, 14/1 looks fair each-way price. 
Dangers I have down as Chivalry for Venetia Williams who is flying and 
Altihar for Gary Moore who are both around the 12/1 mark.

PRINCE DE BERSY can probably land the novice at 2:50.

Over at Haydock I like Augustine in the 12:55 and Endless Power in the 
3:05 while the Tommy Whittle can go to Rambling Minster.

Over at Navan I have Knocknabooly in the 2:30 well clear and Litron in 
the 3:00.
