Happy New Year folk. I've tried to avoid punting on the racing as much as possible of late as still not having a good time of it. I'll know when it's clicking again! I'm so freaking excited about Chelts already. I'm only going to have a look at handful at each track today.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped up the following:

Chepstow 3.20 - Teaforthree 5/1, Our Island 25/1
Sandown 3.40 - Alfie Spinner 7/1

My thoughts shortly...

8.45am update... No big price outsiders for me today. All prominent in market. Makes life tough if the majority don't win though.

Chepstow 1.35 - Caid Du Berlais 2/1 has solid form in France

Chepstow 2.10 - Shoegazer 9/2 has good opportunity to land another handicap. Down in class and McCoy onboard ought to negate the 7lb rise.

Chepstow 3.20 - Teaforthree was the only one I was going to back and Segal has gone that way to. Assualt on Willhill 5/1. Do it. I tried, but was only allowed to put £8 on at that price. Boooo.

Sandown 12.45 - Kentford Grey Lady 10/11. Has a very good chance at the weights and will stay the distnace

Sandown 1.50 - William's Wishes 5/4 has one more handicap left in him before he moves up into better races I reckon. Domtaline looked a lot further behind Kumbeshwar and I'm reading the ground won't help him.

Sandown 3.00 - Softsong 5/1 ran a blinder here last time out. Chance again with a claimer

Sandown 3.40 - Alfie Spinner 7/1 was Segal's choice and I'll go with him on this as he loves the ground and I've backed him many times before so is a horse I somewhat like. I do think this is a toguh one to call though.

Wincanton 2.05 - Grands Crus bro Gevrey Chambertin 6/4 could be one to stay on side with. Alway have to fear Nicholls at Winny, but even he fear the GC family.

Wincanton 2.40 - Consigliere 9/2 won this last year on similar mark, very very easily and had similar average form coming into it. Pipe reckons has a chance of repeat.
