Good Morning Friend
A mediocre day of racing and not too much to get excited about..
However, there is one 'Jumps Profiles' qualifier and we shall see how he gets on. I think it's all about the 1st time blinkers... if they work he could hack up hard held, if they don't, he won't!

From today's members' post...
Jumps Profiles 20/21
(All ‘any odds’ ; 17/104, 45p, +4.4) (♦ ♦/♦ ♦ ♦ = 9/32,24p, +21.39)
3.03 Fake – Goldencard ♦ ♦ 4/1
On recent form he’s a 'one star' contender (my limited confidence ratings, currently -17.5) but he’s got 1st blinkers here in a woeful race and I suspect Jack will have one tactic in mind, which is ideal for around here… make all! Having won a handicap hurdle off 118 and then gone close in chases of that mark, and a C3 off 125 for his old trainer, it may be foolish of me to give him the 1 star treatment at what should be an ok price (he was 11s last night), given he’s off 94 here (with an excellent 5lb claim). IF/WHEN it clicks, he’s hacking up in a C5. Hopefully the headgear does the job, for all that he may tail off again. If Glimpse of Gold transfers his recent hurdles form to fences (was 0/6 for Tim Vaughan, and he couldn’t jump) then they could all be in trouble, we can all hope the Skelton shorty bounces, 2nd run after a monster break/hard race. Champion Chase is 0/24,10p in career, Wisecracker 1/22 over fences- they don’t like winning.
For note/future reference, Christian Williams is 13/35, 18p +12 at the course.
He's got two others on today's card that may or may not be worth a glance, but it is a track he likes to support and doesn't do too badly at.

Results Update/Video
Now 16 days into November i've posted a results update for all things RTP, including the results spreadsheets.
In my re cap video I talk through all sorts… part ‘intro/recap’ of the blog more generally, talking through the results and from 25 mins onwards I whizz through a few of the tips to date with any ‘notebook thoughts’ for the future… if you watch one video of mine, make it this one…

Have a great day,
