Morning all,
Only four winners over yesterday's jumps, to go with a couple of big priced places, but the all weather saved the day when the 3B, El Viento, drifted to 25's and won by three parts of a lengths. The NAP and NB both hit the frame, but couldn't quite get there.
Just jumps selections today, nothing on the all weather really takes my fancy, but it should be a good card at Ascot and a reasonable one at Uttoxeter.
The NAP comes from the bumper at Ascot where Claimtakinforgan is the pick. He won in the mud at Haydock when beating a decent sort of Fergal O'Brien, with the pair well clear of the field. He comes from a point to point run that has produced the likes of Lough Derg Spirit (who you'll hear about later) and some other decent performers in Crievehill and Kildisart. Certainly a form-line to keep in mind and this Nicky Henderson horse should be able to do the business (although I've also heard good things about Fergal's one in this race).
The NB then, is Lough Derg Spirit, who runs in the Supreme trial at 1.55. He was third to Claimtakinforgan in that P2P and beat a decent sort the next time in a similar race, before delivering an impressive round of jumping to claim the spoils at Kempton, beating Coup de Pinceau of Paul Nicholls. Henderson has the top two in the market here, with his main rival being Thomas Campbell, but I think Lough Derg Spirit is the one to look out for and keep an eye out for March.

Reds Racing Picks 15/12/2016
Morning all,
It's been a while, but a return for the blog today with selections for every race on all three jumps cards and I've even managed to put in a couple from the sand at Chelmsford that look overpriced.
The NAP is Clondaw Bisto from the 2.10 at Towcester. He's been running pretty well with a win and two runner ups from his last three outings. Steps up in trip today, but he's looked a staying type and the uphill finish should play into his hands.
The Next Best comes from the opener at Exeter. Which One Is Which went into my tracker last year after a good performance behind Copper Kay at Cheltenham, but disappointed on hurdles debut, having plenty of misfortune in running. She wasn't given a hard ride by Geraghty though and an upturn in fortune is to be expected.
Finally, we go to the sand at Chelmsford, where El Viento looks a big price at 16/1. He's certainly not in flying form and perhaps more familiar as a turf horse than one for the all weather, but he has won at Lingfield off 11 lbs higher and if Paddy Mathers can get a tune out of him, he could go close. There's plenty of pace for him to aim at, so that isn't the issue. The draw is not ideal, so that does put me off a little, but 16/1 is too big.
EDIT: If you have any questions about why I've picked any of these, feel free to hit me up on @redgameracer
