Diary: December 22

My prowess as a tipster never ceases to astound me!  What about New Little Bric today at 1/7!  At least he won I suppose.

  

The only jumps’ meeting tomorrow is at Hereford.  There is an inspection but if racing does go ahead we have a couple of runners from our list to follow.

  

Blue Splash runs in the novice hurdle at 2.00.  He won for us first time out making all at Aintree.  As a result the handicapper raised him 12 lbs and that seemed to anchor him at Chepstow when he finished 2nd.  He should run well tomorrow and I expect him to be in the first 3.  His brother, Ungaro is also on our list to follow for those who are interested in such trivia.  I don’t think that the extra 2 furlongs will be a problem as Hereford is an easy track.

  

Oumeyade has not completed in two starts this season and as a result is 25/1 for the 2.30.  He is a half brother to the chaser Ladalko and he won 4 times in France before coming to the UK so must be better than he has shown so far.  I can’t give him a big vote of confidence for obvious reasons but you could risk a small each way interest.

  

Of the rest I see that Chopneyev runs in the 1.30.  He was a decent hurdler a few seasons ago but has had injury problems. I remember him just losing out in a dual with Korelo from the Pipe team  in a good handicap at Ascot.  More recent form over fences is hardly encouraging but he sports first time blinkers which might revitalise him.

  

Plenty to look forward to over the Christmas period but that is all for tonight.
