Saturday's Chilly Selections & Updates - 14 January

Well Venetia chose the race with my selection Problema Tic (at odds on no less) to break her 5 year duck in chases at Huntingdon yesterday.....well, it was Friday the 13th!  



Saturdays!......Ignore my usual criteria of "valid reason for not winning LTO" and take a very close at all of the Pipe runners - at least that's two things that I've learned over the years.  David Pipe has runners at Warwick in the 14:00, 14:30, 15:40 and 16:10 and at Kempton at 14:50 (2) and 15:50.  No winners today ...and I didn't even back any of them!


Excellent day for a Saturday with two nice priced winners and a forecast.  
Profits of + 24.95 (108%)


I also had Bronze Angel in the 14:40 Lingfield and could have sworn I'd added this below this morning before rushing out but apparently not :( I even had this note for it "1/ Mr Red Clubs is spoiling for his 5th win in a row.  He’s up a class though and has not had as much time to recover as he had between his previous four wins which are both concerns."



Punchestown
First Choice
E/W or RF Choice
1
12:45
Fully Funded 3rd

2
14:25
Ut De Sivola 1st
Hisaabaat (EW) 2nd
3
15:35
Lilywhitedancer (EW)
Paco Jack (EW) 1st
Notes:
1/            I’ll take a chance that Gates Of Rome (2nd) can stay vertical today – if he does then he wins
               For some reason I typed Fully Funded above but since neither won or were each way, then it's of no consequence
2/            Ut de Sivola could do no more than beat what he was against LTO and should storm this.  Hisaabaat will be better suited to this RH track and can follow home
3/            Ocean Bright is very tempting but the claiming jock has raced 38 times over hurdles here without a win so risky!  Lilywhitedancer (ex Mullinshorse) looks to have conditions and the longer trip should suite -  jockey/claimer rode a good race LTO on him.  Pack Jack could turn back the clock for a place.

Requin UP
Coup Royale (EW)UP

Requin was very disappointing from an early stage - there surely must have been something amiss?!

My nightly nap is running at Kempton in the 15:20 and doesn't look much like a horse .......but then it is French (ils sont facilement confondus)! and it's not been chosen because of the pink silks!
Kempton 15:20
Requin - Pulled up


My DD has been busy these past two days turning the kitchen into an icing sugar-coated, sticky-floored cake palace!  This is the very impressive result:




I don't think it should be meant for eating.....just for taking photos of !
