Thursday 13th February
Wins yesterday for a couple whose SP reflected non-runners in their respective races probably more than any significant support, so if you were on Gata Ban at the advised 6/1 (SP was 7/2) and West To The Bridge at 12/1 (SP was 17/2) it was a half decent return.
The NH Cards at Sandown and Leicester today don't have a single race with double figure runners declared, apart from a 10 runner Novice Hunter Chase at Leicester. Not much better at Newcastle over the Jumps nor Clonmel.
We will have a bash at an 11 runner Handicap Hurdle at Newcastle and for those who have enjoyed our occasional forays into big field Novice Hurdles , which are non-handicaps so only 3 places on offer, and usually 3-4 dominating the market but big prices elsewhere, we'll give you a few double figure priced e/w pokes to have a small interest in, or if you prefer just to watch and gauge their progress as a few will be going in the TRACKER.
