Usually strong on one for this at entry stage, but not tempted for a bet yet

I follow the Rowley yard, and Raffle Ticket was the first I looked at, but his last run was a bit of a concern, though he’s still on the radar

Dashel Drasher always gets my attention, but wouldn’t interest me unless declared.

Still working my way through this, but the following also caught the eye……

Bowtogreatness
Pats Fancy
Sine Nomine
Torn and Frayed
Walking On Air

…but at this time, preference just for Docpickedme. Liked his run here last time, and think he can make the frame easily

No bet yet though

Docpickedme

Edit – Jan 20th
Always feels a bit daft betting a few hours before the Five Day Decs, but decided to have an early go on Docpickedme while the price is there

Smashing set of entries. Don’t know where to start!

Git Maker is the main one sticking out to me after a strong end to the last campaign. Reappearing here would hold no fear as he has won following a 300 day break.

Stay Away Fay may be one just to watch. Gold Cup aspirations have clearly been set aside and Aintree looks the more likely destination going forward. I’m just not sure I can bet him with three P’s next to his name.

There are a host of others that interest me, but the last one I’ll mention is Ga Law. He’s a quality animal and his trainer has always fancied him a stayer, indeed he was unlucky in this race a couple years back. He’ll come good again and this could be that day.

Here’s hoping for a proper turnout!

The Changing Man 10-1 ew 4 places

[All Jeff]

I’ve bet Tightenourbelts at 10-1 as the main selection, and I will definitely add Famous Bridge before declarations, as I think that the 20-1 will go

[GM23]

The Changing Man for me.

Only up 2lbs for his last run so I think the handicapper is giving him another chance to win one.

[Eezer]

Tightenourbelts isn’t very popular tonight but he’s the one I’ll be betting in the morning

[Wilts]

I’ve punted a couple of the outsiders

Arizona Cardinal 25s (antepost)

And just added
Raffle Ticket 33s

[Chivers1987]

Surely The Changing Man has to land one soon and is a fair price to do so at the moment. I wouldn’t back at the prices he’s been going off at. I’ll take him and like others here I think Tightenourbelts could be the main danger so a saver on him.

Added Raffle Ticket. As I mentioned, last run was a concern, but his profile suggests to me he can bounce back here, and can’t miss the yard having a runner here. Price looks too big

I also like Raffle Ticket, missed the 33s, but still a good price. Also like Forward Plan at Doncaster.

Raffle Tacket 25/1 EW
Forward Plan 13/2

[He Didnt Like Ground]

I’m with The Changing Man , this doesn’t look the strongest of races and his turn is due

[sergeantcecil]

VtC, cracking price for Docpicked me.

Forward Plan for a repeat for me.

[Refuse To Bend]

Idalko Bihoue 12s.

The more I know the less I understand.

[peter .h]

Forward Plan is consistent, likes it at Donny and I don’t believe his mark is beyond him. He’ll be my play.

WD VTC.

[sergeantcecil]

Well done VtC, a bit lucky, but they all count
