Fascinating day of racing. However, there is little value to be had. For me it will be mainly a watching brief today.As a professional, there is no point in having bets just for the sake of it. There will be better opportunities along the way.

Quick look at two races from Ascot.

1.15:

My prices for the top three

Top Notch 1/1

Hammersly Lake 4/1

Caid Du Berlais 4/1

Top Notch is the best horse, has to prove he gets the trip.

 

2.25:

Loath to oppose Unowhatimeanharry. Deserves to be at short odds.

French raider Alex De Larredya looked a classy prospect on last outing.

Will be back  for our final blog of the year on boxing day.

Hope you have a good Christmas.
