Johnston runs two in this one, ridden by Billy Whizz. Oisin is the lesser-backed of the two who I know is always trying. I go for Von Dutch. However, De Foy is in form, up in trip for a handicap debut, and down in class. This is a fascinating race. Any one of the five runners has a chance and it will be a tactical affair. Johnston's pair in the last race were not for me, but I am wrong often at the moment.

Gilet is the best horse in the race, but Mick Appleby has High On Hope in division one of this event. It was raised a pound for its win a couple of weeks ago when it showed real determination. The only downside for me is Mick does not have that many who win two on the trot. Pure coincidence, I realise.

In some ways I love the mediocrity of the all??'weather. Backing a horse with enthusiasm that has not won in 20 tries. Not best rate, just generally been given a rest and would not strike one as the winner straight off the bat. But I get a feeling it's fancied today and is shorter than it should be. Has competed favourably in some decent races and has a chance. Should be about 6/1 for me. Small loss perhaps, maybe a mug bet.

No idea how the heavy rain will affect the track. If the outside boxes are a no-no, I will not back it. Oh goodie, a five-dog race??"what a surprise. The dog is well up to this class. I never normally have a bet on the 4 box, but my dog tipping has been poor, so what the hell. If it gets a run on a level track, it should win.

Sean Levy booked for this David Evans horse. He has an OK record riding for Evans, whereas Rossa Ryan on Prince Nadir often rides for Evans when they are up for it. Make of it what you will. I'm sticking to the selection, who was a lot of use last time but showed a degree of enthusiasm. Wears a first-time visor, which gives it a shout. I will have a small wager on both.

A bet based on price: the Tregoning horse may well win, but even so, less is a trifle skinny. Archie Watson's horses have not been in great form for quite a while. Evenepoel won despite, rather than because of, a well-made horse. He should get further as time progresses. The dead all-weather ground should suit, providing it can get into a gallop. Must be involved.

OK, I have no idea why I backed this treble. Yes, treble-figure prices in its three qualifying runs. I am guessing the reason it's fancied market-wise is either because they need to find something against the favorite, who according to the betting is a mortgage-money job. Paul Mulrennan rides a rare booking for Butler, but Paul M. has not, I think, enjoyed much success for him to date. It is probably money down the tubes, but if the favorite bombs, who knows?

The betting suggests Shallow is the more fancied of Spencer's two runners, although only marginally. I will have a saver on Handle With Care, as it was my original selection but is on the drift. Shallow has been eased by the handicapper, and if it can find some form it has a good chance.

Not a race, in my opinion, you can form a firm opinion about. The selection is well suited to 3 miles plus, is well weighted, and has run well in some decent events. It is one of three or four you could give a chance to before the event. Four places on offer, provided no major jumping issues arise in the finish.

Tracks like Hove are becoming a disgrace. Bookmaker-owned, not only a plethora of sprint races, but if you cannot fill the traps, don't have the meetings. I must confess Pocket Lacey is a fav of mine, and it needs a tasty exit from the traps. As the 5 box is empty, it puts a very different complexion on the race. It will do well to hold on if it gets out.

The thing about horses who look like bankers is that they often are not. Winner of this race previously, three times a Grade 1 winner raced well against the best. Windsor is a bit of a weird track, but having won here negates that. It is the horse to beat if it performs as normal.

What a joy Southwell All-Weather on a January evening. But Secret Road should, on recent form, win provided it stays. However, I will have a small investment on the Barclay-trained, Mulrennan-ridden Spirit of Bowland, who ran on well here last time and could conceivably upset the favourite.

Olly and Sean eschew the delights of Ascot and Haydock for Taunton. This horse looks good in what appears to be a weak race, although one often comes from the bottom end of the handicap to upset these good things. It's short considering it is beatable, but there is a distinct lack of evidence as regards dangers.

Never keen on backing against a recent Ruth Carr winner or a horse carrying a penalty in these all-weather events. Imola is usually well supported and won well last time. Joey Ramsden is riding and it looked as if it could win again. Rain and weight are great levellers, however, especially lower down the order.

I have never been able to equate Irish A/W form to English. Irish compatriot Indigo Dream may have just as good a chance as the selection. But Nikki S has been running consistently well at Dundalk, has Hollie D up, and with four places on offer would appear a fair investment at the odds. Mereside Diva, if she returned to form, would be a big danger to all.

A long journey for the Russell/Scudamore-trained horse after their recent acquisition. There could be a number of reasons for it. The race looks winnable. Prior to the event it showed improved form on a firm track at Kelso recently. At 4/1 it is a fair price in a five-horse race.

I hesitate napping a horse trained by Stuart Williams because the bearing patterns a few minutes prior to race time are usually an indication of the horse's race progress. Nevertheless, given its weight, the fact that Jack Dace retains the ride with his 5-pound claim, and Stuart has a fine record here, I still favor the selection. It also had a fine run at Southwell last time out.

The stable has had a lean time of it of late but has picked up recently. Brian Hughes has a good record for them when jocked up. It has yet to find the winners' enclosure, and this appears to be a chasing debut??"bred to like it. Hughes is a fine exponent of the art of jockeyship in these circumstances. Four places available, which prompts a tentative investment.

I hate backing Johnstons' horses because I never get it right (not just Johnstons). But there is a strong case for believing it is on a very favourable mark here, and if that is the case 9/1 is massive. I have to restrain myself to a modest stake and, come what may, watch with an eye to future events.

A bit overpriced. The Moores look a go at Newbury. I have been living under a stone because 7 lb claimer Macey was unknown to me, but he can clearly ride. Step up in trip is a plus. The horse is 10 now, so not going to be a massive improver, but a chance with 4 places.
