Saturday 1st February

We were a shade unlucky not to pick up a nice profit yesterday, instead of a small one as ON THE ROAD just missed out at Chepstow in a thrilling finish. The omission of the final fence, the fact that our horse just had to readjust slightly to navigate between that omitted fence and the final hurdle and the clear head on evidence that the winner veered and took On The Road markedly over to the Stands rail all possibly mitigating factors. However, a cracking race and a place instead of a win.
 
The ELITE SERVICE from David (DC Tipping) covers the 3.00 at SANDOWN today and we have Daily Tips from Robin and Michael at Sandown and Musselburgh respectively. 
 
No tips from Sean over in Ireland but he reports "a day when I look beyond the winners and at those just being bought to full fitness in 5-6 weeks time and in the handicaps especially those who travel well in midfield and then get hidden in the closing stages to protect their marks. It's a day when its more a game of poker than picking winners on the day"
