Saturday 22nd December 2012

Just the one bet for Saturday. Keep an eye out for ante post bets over the next few days, in all likelihood we'll wait until Christmas Eve if there is anything we need to get on early for Boxing Day, our next daily e-mail will be on Boxing Day itself.

3.10 Ascot - The Ladbroke Hurdle - Double Ross 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 16/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) - E/W 4th

Perennial front runner for whom heavy ground will hold no concerns. His run in the Swinton hurdle in May suggested that two miles over this trip is what he requires, and an impressive Cheltenham victory in November confirmed him an improver. He won very easily that day and I think a mark of 142 probably still underestimates him. He was a little disappointing at Haydock but was probably turned out too quickly. The stable are in fine form at at the prices I think Double Ross is worth an each-way interest.

Profit & loss: day: +6.00 / month: -95.00 / year: -93.20
