Ascot - 17th Dec

A decent enough card at Ascot today with just the one bet. Reve De Sivola is a horse I've backed numerous times and although he disappointed last time out at Cheltenham I'm prepared to give him another chance today. He actually jumped well for him that day but didn't stay the trip (today's contest is four furlongs shorter) and with Hennessy winner Carruthers nine lengths in front of him it has to be said that the form has been franked. He certainly has claims on that form especially with a drop to a mark of 139 and with The Minack (the usual falsely priced Nicholls horse) being a poor value favourite I think the 6.4 I've taken on Betfair is a fair price. Confidence isn't that high about a horse that doesn't win that often hence a reduction in stake size.

Reve De Sivola £25w @ 54/10 (lost)
