THE BETTING STRATEGY

Year to date: +80.93 points

Wednesday 15 December 2021

Neither selection performed with any credit yesterday. Schalke made some headway after the last to finish 7^th and perhaps a step up in trip will help. Barrule Park fell at the second last. He had drifted alarmingly in the betting.

Analysis

12.50 Newbury

I Am Maximus made a winning debut in a Cheltenham bumper by 1¾ lengths from My Drogo (a top class performer). The Nicky Henderson charge was found just wanting for know-how on his hurdling debut 3^rd at Exeter on a belated return and remains a decent  prospect who should hopefully win this. He is incredibly short but I’m hoping he might drift a little.

1.25 Newbury

Stepped back up in trip I am quite keen on the chances of I K Brunel today. He is a dual hurdles winner who wasn't far off the pick of his chase form when third of 5 in a Carlisle novices' handicap (20f) last month. 3 lb lower now and must have a decent chance.
