Bangor On Dee - 12.35 6 High Aspirations Guns 16/1; 1.05 9 Nail M 8/1 3.10 8 Diego Suarez 11/1 -: 50p each way Patent - costs £7.00 - possible return of £800.00
We have National Hunt Racing today at Bangor On Dee and All Weather Cards at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton.
It is the final day of racing in the Mainland before the usual short pre-Christmas break and although there is an AW
Fixture in Ireland tomorrow, it will be our final Tipping Day before Christmas and give us a few days break before
the usual excellent week of racing from Boxing Day through to New Years Day, indeed to 2nd January 2017, with
the extra Bank Holiday on Monday 2nd January as New Years Day is on a Sunday this year.
The Card at Bangor is competitive, if low grade and with a number of possibly vulnerable favourites we have
selected 3 nice each way horses; whose form gives them a decent chance of running a place at least, and
if things were to "drop right" there is no reason why all three could not win, and a £7.00 bet could increase
over 100 fold, at the current early morning prices, so we suggest you BOG asap.
HIGH ASPIRATIONS has been "pulled up" twice this season, but won 4 times last season, the first win
of that winning spree was third time up after you've guessed it, two "pulled up" runs. The handicap
mark and price on that basis are very interesting and an improved run anticipated.
Nail M is a bit of a favourite of ours in long distance low grade Chases; he took time to get over a
crushing fall last season, when we all feared the worst, but seems back on track now and with the
assured stamina that many of these don't have, looks sure to be plugging on at the end of the
race. I am reliably informed by the Trainer that Barton Gift will be more competitive but still
needs the run and will be better for it (John trains some horses for the SP2A Racing Club).
Finally, we will give Diego Suarez another go, he ran very well for us when advised at 16/1
last time out; finished very well in third for some place money and the increase in trip and
the application of some cheek pieces, looks a positive move, for a young Trainer going places.
------
We will be back on BOXING DAY morning bright and early with some tips from the 11 meetings
that are taking place in the UK and Ireland, better start studying that days form now I think.
It leaves me to wish you all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a prosperous New Year;
I hope that you have a great Christmas and we will be back with you on Boxing Day.
Regards
Ian
