+3.5 taking into account my AP Prince of Scars not declared for Troytown. I am disappointingly hopeless at AP betting
Two for Navan tomorrow: a mare of Stuart Crawford’s whose dam won her debut over hurdles on heavy at this course, and a shameless copycat bet for the Troytown as I like THM’s reasoning for his selection

1235 Crawford’s Mill 12-1 0.5pts EW
1435 Bonny Kate 20-1 1pt EW+6.5
Just the Ladbrokes Trophy for me today.
I’m putting my AP bets on here – prices gone- sorry for the aftertime though I had put them on the big race thread.3.00 Newbury
Whisper 16-1 1pt EW
Vyta du Roc 25-1 1pt EW
Bigbadjohn 100-1 2pts EWSitting on +1.5
Home alone and snowed in today so will be consoling myself will lots of racing.
One of those days for lots of my usual microbets for fun perhaps.1220 Navan Dis Donc 10-3 1pt win
Simply because I liked the look of him in the paddock at Down Royal when only beaten by Ten Ten.
+2.5
Haydock 1300 Court Artist 11/4 Mullins mare hopefully going right way
Ascot
1315 Adrien du Pont 6/4 fit, gets weight, Coney Island not going to be flogged to win
1425 UKWIMH 15/8 Forgiven for letting lighter-burdened Beer Goggles give him the slip LTO
Above all 1 pt winAscot
1500 Frodon 12/1
1525 Divin Bere 16/1
Both 0.5pt EW 1/4 odds
Decent enough horses at OK prices and they get Bryony’s claim-0.5
Court Artist- OK but not 1st string. Fair play to Cap Soleil for another win
Didn’t see Coney Island race but sounded impressive giving fair chunk of weight away. Beat my selection roundly.
Harry- not bad, not going to win the Stayers
Frodon- ran and jumped well; beaten by nice horse with more scope
Divin Bere- not easiest of passages through the race but wouldn’t have been placed anyway.
Onwards and upwards (well realistically not upwards…just bumping along around zero
)-2.5 accounting for 2 losing bets in the Paddy Power.
Today’s bets
Cheltenham
1.25 Willoughby Court 2-1 2pts win
3.10 Rayvin Black 33-1 0.5pt EW(Yep latter bet shows I never got around to New Year’s resolution of breaking my fatal attraction to long prices)
-5.5
Just the Welsh National for me today
On the Road 33s 1pt EW
Firebird Flyer 40s 1pt EW
Silsol 33s 0.5pts EW
FF for 5 places, others for 4.-10.5
Trying to avoid betting at the moment as not doing well but had to have an interest in I Just Know 2.35 Catterick at 4-1 0.5pt win.
I liked the look of him at Ayr last season and he’s a decent size so should be up to plenty of weight. Only concern is slight tendency to jump right but other than that is decent jumper I think.-8.5
Thanks VtC, I know putting minimal stake on a co favourite is hardly the tip of the century but I was glad not to miss him as I’ve been looking out for him.
I’ve also been watching for the return of Lucinda Russell’s Big River, initially pinpointed by someone on TRF (was it yourself or robnorth?) as one to watch. I’m not put off by the heart problem as I think they can come round very well from that (Denman and Sprinter Sacre being good examples). His entry in the Dipper, although he didn’t run, shows they must think a bit of him.
1.50 Warwick Big River 4-1 b365 2pts win
