I always try to find the value in a race. I analyse Handicaps carefully and most my selections will be at double figure odds. However the most important thing is to have fun making and listening or seeing your selection running. Winners are just a pleasurable bonus.

@9.00

Lose

-50

Pearl Jewel returns after a two-month break. Her only win so far was over course and distance, well over a year ago. However, she finished in the frame on her last run here and still could go well and get a place.

Little Empire

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@8.50

Win

In a wide-open handicap, the chance is taken on Little Empire. He placed third over course and distance last month, and that was his second attempt over the distance. He has to overcome a wide draw but is expected to get involved again.

@34.00

Lose

-50

Ballybaymoonshiner

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Ballybaymoonshiner is still relatively lightly raced for a five-year career. He has had a break of 177 days but has been reasonably consistent in the past. A previous course-and-distance winner, he is capable of getting involved.

Comedian Leader

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

Comedian Leader returns after a four-month break. She finished this summer with back-to-back wins at Lingfield, and based on that form, provided she goes well fresh, has to be considered for at least a place.

18:00 6:00 Kempton

Bami

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Bami has been progressing with each run, winning on her last outing three weeks ago. This is more competitive, but it would be no surprise to see her out-run her odds.

17:45 5:45 Dundalk

Practical Move

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

Practical Move showed a little bit of promise in her last two runs. She ran here over five furlongs back in September, placing four lengths behind the winner after bumping a competitor. She is now making her handicap debut and is being upped in trip. She could out-run her odds.

17:30 5:30 Kempton

Rorys Royale

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@29.00

Lose

-50

Rorys Royale showed a marked improvement on his latest run at Chelmsford City, placing third just over a month ago. His stable is on fire at the moment, so he could surprise at generous odds.

Neat And Tidy

Daily Racing

25 EW

@101.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken that Neat And Tidy could outrun her odds. This is her second run for her new stable. She could squeeze into the frame and get involved.

Jack Doyen

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

Jack Doyen fell four out on his last run at Southwell a fortnight ago. Prior to that he was very consistent, and he should be thereabouts again based on his previous form. Each-way contender.

Invincible Annice

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

19:00 7:00 Newcastle

Bernie The Bear

Daily Racing

25 EW

@51.00

Lose

-50

Bernie the Bear placed 7th here a fortnight ago. He most probably needed the run after having been off the track for five months. He placed third behind Korroor over course and distance back in March and is now four pounds better off.

18:30 6:30 Newcastle

Green Valentine

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Green Valentine is not the most consistent filly, but she made two wins this year, including over course and distance three weeks ago at 66/1. A chance is taken that she could follow up or at least get close despite a rise of five pounds.

18:00 6:00 Newcastle

Trais Fluors

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Win

175

Trais Fluors returns after a 105-day break. Despite his poor performance so far this year and his stable being extremely quiet, a chance is taken that the eleven-year-old veteran, who is a three-times course-and-distance winner, can squeeze into the frame at generous odds.

15:18 3:18 Newcastle

Violeta

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@12.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken on Violeta, who placed second over course and distance a fortnight ago. She was 1¼ lengths behind See Paris that day. Further improvement is likely on her third attempt over the distance. The stable is in reasonable form with a couple of winners in the last ten days and also saddles the course-and-distance winner Flying Scotsman. However, his recent form has been poor.

08 December 2025

20:30 8:30 Wolverhampton

La Fleur Petrus

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@19.00

Lose

-50

La Fleur Petrus returns after a break of seven months. She has not yet shown her abilities in her three runs for her new stable. However, she is now being dropped in trip to the sharper seven furlongs, a distance where she had her sole win when with Charlie Johnston. Each-way hopeful.

Halsafari

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@13.00

Lose

-50

The twelve-year-old Halsafri won at Cork a fortnight ago, which was his best run for a while. He has placed over course and distance in the past and will not mind the ground conditions. A chance is taken that he could follow up in his present form.

20:00 8:00 Wolverhampton

Gilt Edge

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Three Yorkshiremen

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Cracking Rhapsody

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Cracking Rhapsody has been hit and miss. He was 13th of 18 at Cheltenham three weeks ago. He won a race prior at Ayr. Now upped in trip, he could hit the frame if he stays the extra four furlongs.

14:40 2:40 Aintree

Roi Mage

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

The veteran Roi Mage is an enigma. Based in Ireland, he does well in France, including in Listed races. His last win was at La Touche Croan in France back in September. He is a confirmed stayer but has not been able to transfer his French form into a win in Britain. Each-way hopeful.

13:42 1:42 Navan

Ayiko

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.50

Lose

-50

Ayiko has not run since late April. He placed 3rd of 18 at Fairyhouse that day, having previously won at Ayr. He has a good record on soft ground and has to be considered for the frame.

Darlo Pride

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Darlo Pride returns after an absence of nearly nine months. He may need the run, having not run well fresh in the past. Nevertheless, a course and distance winner, he looks over-priced and still could go well at a price.

18:00 6:00 Dundalk

Exquisite Acclaim

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Both of the Adrian McGuinness runners are of interest: Apache Outlaw and Exquisite Acclaim. The former is making his first attempt over a mile. The latter is the choice, with a recent run a fortnight ago over seven furlongs here. That was after a break, and he most probably needed the run. He was in decent form earlier in the year and could hit the frame.

17:00 5:00 Dundalk

Inishmot Prince

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

@21.00

Win

Gordon Bennett is of interest, but a chance is taken that Sovereign Banter could bounce back, defying his significant penalty. He won over course and distance in October and followed it up with a 7th place the same month. He is one to consider for the frame despite the handicapper.
