    I hadn't planned on having a bet, but I've been keeping an eye on Parisian Pyramid for quite a while and even though he is very hard to win with, think he's one to keep onside for the next few runs I think he's finally going to get his head in front.

    Was once a smart horse who contested the decent sprint handicaps on turf, he's come down a long way from there but still isn't a bad horse. He's running tomorrow off a mark of 61. I backed him back in December at Wolv over this trip when just held off a pound higher but thought Spencer had left it too late. Beaten a short head in a competitive enough race next time off 63.

    I was disappointed at the time he didn't win next time out off 64 in what looked a winnable race at the time when he was second by half a length, but the form has worked out extremely well. The winner was well backed and has gone in twice since, the third went in twice since and was beaten a neck off a 9lb higher mark last time out, fourth beaten under a length into third next time out off 3lbs higher.

    Ran much better than I had anticipated he would at Kempton when a half length fourth to Street Power, who I'd backed who I was sure had about six pounds in hand off a mark of 64.

    He ran poorly for his next two starts and appeared to be going off the boil, but ran a huge race last time when fifth in a very strong race over this course and distance, beaten under 2 lengths in a class 3 race worth 17k. Quite generous to drop him a pound for that and Thomas Brown is a very good 3 lb claimer.

    Temple Road is feared most, the form behind Spellmaker off this mark looks strong but should be closely enough matched, Spellmaker finished half a length in front of PP last time. Volito is going for the hat trick and won with more in hand than the margin suggests last time but I think it was a poor race. R Woody was put up only 4lbs for his win last time when well backed but he just scraped home and is probably opposable.

    PP isn't one for maximum faith but is probably worth backing in his next couple of starts if he doesn't win tomorrow. 7/1 seems generous, might hold out and see if I can get 8s before the night. Good luck if you follow

    Tiz love regardless, 4.55 lingfield!
    Ran Friday and won, been smashed in from 2's into 4/6. Short odds I know but might be something to throw in a double or something!

    I really like Green Wizard in that race.

    Gabrial,s Wawa 2.40 Kemp C&D winner off 73 down to 62 today in a lower grade.
    Has had a few trainer changes since last win but worth an e/w nibble @ a double figure price?

    Just the three e/w doubles and a e/w treble for me


    Green wizard in the 2:30 Southwell @ 7/1

    Seek the fair land in the 3:20 Lingfield @ 5/1

    Russian Ice in the 3:45 Kempton @ 4/1

    Phoenix Flight is way down in the ratings to compete in a 2m race over the AW today. Missed the juicy prices of 12/1, but managed to snag some 10/1 just there.

    Waiting for him to go back over hurdles on decent ground. Think he's on a very winnable mark in that sphere.

    Probably on a winnable mark too on the flat.

    Runner up, the winner had a fair bit in hand.
