Sandown and Aintree - 3rd Dec

Since posting my thoughts earlier in the week about the Tingle Creek the race has cut up big time with Tataniano and Finian's Rainbow being pulled out. This leaves me in an excellent position with 11/4 about Sizing Europe who is around a 6/4 shot now. Wishfull Thinking seems the only really danger (especially with the ground softening up) so I think it's wise to cover on him.

At Aintree the 2.10 is the Becher Chase over the National fences. Nick Williams runs Shalimar Fromentro and whilst as a 5yo this is a big ask he has bits and pieces of really nice form, including running the smart Wymott close last year in a novice chase as a 4yo at Exeter. With a couple of recent runs to his credit it's safe to assume that he'll be fit for this so I think he warrants an each way bet at 10/1.

Sizing Europe £50w @ 11/4 (won)
Wishfull Thinking £30w @ 32/10 (lost)

Shalimar Fromentro £25ew @ 10/1 (fell)


(-482)
