Ante-Post

    I've taken 12/1 about the Dan Skelton trained Shelford for the Ladbroke Hurdle at Ascot this coming Saturday. His win last time out at Chepstow in October was firmly franked when runner-up Aubusson won the Fixed Brush Hurdle at Haydock a fortnight or so ago and although he's gone up seven pounds for that win Aubusson himself was six pounds higher from Chepstow so there's no doubt Shelford is one well handicapped animal. It'll be a competitive event no doubt but I'm confident he'll be placed at least and with plenty of rain forecast his form over further than two miles will be handy a handy asset.

     Josses Hill is entered up for a Novice Chase at the same venue on Friday. He's the horse I've been most looking forward to seeing this Jumps season and I believe he'll be special over fences. It's pleasing to see him out before the new year given that he didn't school until September. He must be coming along nicely at home.
