One won't get rich, but 2/7 looks a gift for the Patriots. Two sides are going in opposite directions: 10??"2 record for New England versus 2??"10. Giants look very weak defensively, having conceded 334 points after 12 games and are on a six-game losing streak, languishing at the bottom of the NFC East. I thought the hosts would be 1/6, so 2/7 looks completely wrong.

Dingwall won a couple of races here within 48 hours last week, winning both with ease. Both can be marked up as he was slow away in both races, albeit they were poor races; he lost many lengths at the start on that second run. Quite incredible how Hannah Crawford got him up. Upped 5 pounds, but if he can break on terms he'll prove a tough nut to crack. I envisaged he'd be odds-on, so at 5/4 that's getting value against a field where 95% of them are totally out of form.

It's rare Lynn Cook kennel leave their money behind. This Good Cody dog did well in the circumstances on November 24, losing any chance in the run to the first bend. He did well to go down only by a length. With three vacant on his outer he can atone here and enhance his 8/20 record and 33% strike rate from this trap. He's won 5 of his 9 races in A2. This looks one of the weaker A2s he's contested.

Karl Burke's runner is the class act of the contest. No issue with the trip. The only unknown variable is the surface, as it is his first run on it. William Buick is a significant booking, and the favourite is unproven in this grade and over this trip.

Monty's Star has some very good form in the book. He's been mostly plying his trade in Grade 1 company. This will be his first handicap. Had 12 career starts, 8 of which were chasing, culminating in 1 win, 3 seconds and 2 third places. Barring a PU effort in 2023 at Feed Bartlett, he's never been out of the first 5. Trainer's last 8 runners finished 4/3/5/8/2/2/3/2. Stable is in form. A couple of points bigger than I envisaged. With 6 places up for grabs, it looks decent value.

These amateur races seem to turn up different results each time. Dual-purpose ROCKVIEW ROMAN has only had 3 runs since July 2024. Was rated higher over in Ireland, won off a 4-pound higher mark. His chance could have been underestimated here if one factors in he's 4 pounds below the last winning mark. That run at Leicester last month was first in nearly 6 months (had raced over hurdles), but there was significant money around for him, 50s into 18/1, which, bearing in mind the layoff and inexperienced jockey (0-19 rides since 2022), was interesting. Never a factor at any stage, but he makes his Tapeta debut today, stepping up markedly in trip on the flat, but was placed 3rd over this trip in the summer twice. Rare runner for Bowen, be interesting if money comes again for this fella off bottom weight.

Went into my notebook after posting a career-best effort here over course and distance, staying on at the death without being asked a serious question. Could well be he was flattered just passing beaten horses. But he's getting 26 pounds off the two at the head of the betting. On this ground, it could be a telling factor.

Front two take a sizable portion of the market, represent little value. NOAHSGREATRAINBOW has not covered himself in glory on his hurdling career to date after some useful form in Bumpers, a first and a second. Gone off well fancied in the market three times over hurdles, obviously better was expected. Actually dropping in class this afternoon as well, coming back two furlongs in trip. Reviewing his race at Newton Abbot, he was not given an unduly hard race. As that came off a 9-month layoff, he should certainly strip fitter. Was backed in from 10/1 into 8/1 early doors, now drifted back out again. After a brilliant start to the month, yard form is up and down with winners and a few disappointing runs. But few of these need to start now to figure, and this 6-year-old is good enough to be placed. I envisaged him 5 points shorter, getting decent value.

Was not given an unduly hard race thereafter. Prior was beaten half a length and a short head in two races here. Went off 9/4 and 9/2 in a Class 6 in the same grade tomorrow but 3 times the price. So Sassy runs earlier on the card. This one was a short head behind her. She was 3rd next time at Chester in a grade higher. She's been dropped a pound for that Kempton run.
