Had there been enough 4/1
Shan Blue each way no saver
Would have been the choice
I think he will be 4/1 later on
There is a little bit of 4/1 now
Just not enough for everybody
So going for a win and saver
Not as safe but more rewarding
Final Deliberations
7 Previews
Detailed and intense message
Very good quality in places
But very competitive races
Some of the bigger handicaps
No guarantee to get a return
Couple of soft races as well
Hoping to start with a winner
But the account is the target
Only a few are suitable races
This may be too ambitious

Not quite strong enough for a bet

Novice Hurdle 2m 3f
INTHEWATERSIDE is a 6yo
Big strong improving type
Won a handicap last time out
Bucksy Des Epeires met him
Fell at the first as a 16/1 shot
Seems unlikely to reverse form
PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS is raw
Just 1 hurdle run since November
No horse coming from a 2m hurdle
Won this with just 1 hurdle race
PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS tries
JUVENTUS DE BRION does too
VINCENZO is a danger
Cost a few quid looks improving
He would be my second choice
Depends on how safe we want it
Could make him a saver at 4/1
Could have a place bet instead
Or we could just have a win bet

Lots to prove with 57 days off
Coming up from a 2 mile hurdle

Absent more than 49 days
Have a 0-65 record in this
The following horses fail this
BAD
OSTEND
IN THE AIR
LE MILOS
SOARING GLORY
HYLAND
MONVIEL
MONVIEL comes from a chase
All 32 horses doing that failed
TEDDY BLUE has 15 hurdle runs
Horses with over 12 hurdle races
Absent more than 7 days are 1-56
He looks too exposed for comfort
IRISH HILL won this last year
Arrived in better form in 2023
He is also much more exposed
Horses with over 15 runs
Over 9 previous hurdle runs
Absent more than 7 days
Have a 0-71 record in this
IRISH HILL fails this angle
Might win but not my choice
JAY JAY REILLY is an 8yo
Won the Lanzarote last time
Gone up in weights for this
Testy weight with 11st 7lbs
Horses with 10st 13lbs or more
Having had 13 or more races
Absent more than 14 days
Return a 0-36 record in them
The following horses fail this

Has to come from a 2m race
Similar handicaps in February

The following horses fail this
RAMBO HALL

SANTOS BLUE could pop up
Bit exposed for a class rise

Coming from a non graded race
Have a 0-41 record in this race
SANTOS BLUE fails this angle
So do the following horses too
IRISH HILL
SOARING GLORY
HYLAND
TEDDY BLUE
ISSAM comes out well enough
MOTHILL also has positives
Hard to see a case at huge odds
But he had excuses at Kempton
He was underraced that day
Should improve from that

Swinley Chase
Listed Handicap Chase 3m
VICTTORINO is a 6yo
None his age have won this race
Not keen on him with 11st 8lbs
Because of this long term angle
Go back to 2001
January to October
Handicap Chases over 2m 6f+
Run in Listed and graded races
Horses aged 6
Carrying 11st 4lbs or more
Have a 0-32 record in them all
VICTTORINO shares this profile
The last 6yo that managed this
Was the brilliant Gloria Victus
A long time ago back in 2000
Not the biggest field to be fair
So will not be shocked if wins
But his age weight combination
Has not been very successful
Horses with under 13 runs
Have a 0-27 record in this
BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE fails
LARRY is the oldest horse
The only winner as old as him
Had far fewer chase races
Horses aged 9 or more
Over 13 lifetime starts
Coming from a Non graded race
Have a 0-20 record in this race
The following horses fail this
LARRY
DO YOUR JOB
SHAN BLUE
No recent winner
Came from 2m 3f or shorter
SHAN BLUE would be the first
DO YOUR JOB would be too
REVELS HILL has 294 days off

He's never won in this class
Never won off his current mark
Go back to 2004

Horses of any age
With over 4 chases

REVELS HILL fails this
RAPPER pulled up last time
He would be an unlikely winner
TORN AND FRAYED may be
Hammered 60 lengths last time
THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE a 9yo
Last seen December at Cheltenham
He was an account bet that day
Each Way finished a gallant 2nd
Made the case in that handicap
He had been badly campaigned
Had excuses for many past runs
He maybe able to outclass these
He has a lot of weight
But is a 152 rated horse
Facing only a 0-43 field
If we can get Victtorino beaten
And have Shan Blue on our side
Then we have the class horses
Facing only a 0-137 class race
SHAN BLUE fails earlier angles
None that would worry me much
A Horse with a lot of good excuses
Not had a chance to get fit for ages
This looks his best oppurtunity

Absent more than 14 days
Have a 0-57 record in this
The following all fail this
IRON BRIDGE
FAMOUS BRIDGE

SNIPE
YEAH MAN
FAMOUS BRIDGE is unproven
On sire stats in these conditions
Horses sired by Fame And Glory
Running over 3m 2f or more
Non cross country races
Class 2 and higher are 0-14
Few tried but none have won
FAMOUS BRIDGE would be first
CREDO shares the same sire too
Horses with over 7 chase runs
Coming from a Handicap Chase
Completed the course last time
But who also failed to win the race
Running within the last 41 days
Have a 0-71 record in this race
The following all fail this
FONTAINE COLLONGES
CREDO
IWILLDOIT is an 11yo
HIGHLAND HUNTER a 11yo
They come from 2m 6f races
Not sure that a safe profile
Coming up 6 furlongs in trip
Go back to 2002
Handicap Chases over 3m 4f +
Listed and Graded races
Horses from 2m 6f or shorter
Running within 90 days
Have won similar races
Those aged 10 or more are 1-111
Those aged 11 or more are 0-43
IWILLDOIT fails this 0-43 angle
HIGHLAND HUNTER does too
The only winner aged 10 or more
Was Ballybriggs in the National
YEAH MAN is well backed
My angles are not impressed
But he is an improving horse
This is another angle
That appears to challenge him
Go back to 2000
January to March
Handicap Chases 3m 3f +
Class 2 and higher grade
Horses aged 7
More than 5 chase runs
Carrying 10st 10lbs or more

Handicap Chases
Run over 3m 4f or more
Listed and graded races
Horses aged 10 or more
Running off 149 or higher
Have a 0-124 record in them
IWILLDOIT fails this angle
Only just but he does fail it
Not comfortable with any horse
But my overall interpretation
IRON BRIDGE is shortlistable
Appeals more as a saver bet
Either a win or a place saver
MY SILVER LIGHTNING
Won the Warwick classic chase
He was an account bet winner
Felt like he had fewer negatives
Has to get over the Warwick win
That is a massive known unknown
Because of that adding safety

With significant absences
THE BOLD THADY
KNOWN
PRIDE ROCK
TICKING TOM BOMB is unsafe
Coming from a 2 mile hurdle race
JOHNNY B is a 10 year old
Pulling up in a chase last time
Clearly isn't an orthodox profile
EDE'IFFS ROCK is fit and well
But a small horse on heavy ground
CHATSHOW TV is a 6yo
Just 3 career runs
Has to carry 12st weight
Thats a lot to take on
Go back to 1998

CHATSHOW TV fails this
TICKING TOM BOMB does
STRATTON OAKMOUNT an 8yo
Should go well with experience
PENTIRE HEAD shortlistable
Partly from the strongest stable
But this is a big jump in trip
From beaten in a maiden hurdle
My angles on profile predict a place
RIVER CORNER is bottomweight
Has low figures after 6 hurdles
But he has had some excuses
He went off too fast last time out
Been messed about in distance too
Featherweight and a claimer on top
He could be capable of a big shock
Quite like this staking

PUNTA DEL ESTE fails this
CUTHBERT DIBBLE is a 6yo

He looks potentially underraced
Might even be on the bounce too
And he is going up over half a mile

CUTHBERT DIBBLE fails this
J'AI FROID won last time
But he is an exposed 11 year old
Maybe asking a lot to follow up
CASTLE RUSHEN is a 9yo
Rejected with 296 days break
None of the outsiders appeal
OUR SAM could go well
But he is pretty exposed now
Just 1 run in the last 126 days
Ridden by a 10lbs claimer too
ILOVETHENIGHTLIFE is a mare
Big weight but she is not a negative
Would happily have her shortlisted
But misses out on the best profile
Ideal profile
Males Horses aged 6-7-8
Under 11st 9lbs
Over 3 hurdle runs
Under 11 lifetime runs
Not coming from a chase
If coming from a hurdle
Must be over 2m 4f or more
You get a 12-50 record

LATENIGHTPASS is an enigma
He is 11 years old

Tries to win a Graded race
On hurdles debut off 64 days
Talented and may have the ability
But surely on the risky side here
Having a Grand National prep too
