Another Festive Gamble Landed!
27th December 2023
It’s only been a few days since we landed some nice multiples at Ascot but we enjoyed more festive multi success today - we backed French banker Il Est Francais, who bolted up at 13/8 in the Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day, in a double with my nap of the week, Nassalam, today.
Gary Moore’s charge bonked up by 34 lengths in the Welsh Grand National, having been advised ante post at 8/1 as a single and at 6/1 as the second leg of a 16/1 double (after decs)!
The +20 pt haul there takes our monthly profit to roughly +50 pts - a cracking start to the 2024 NMP service - membership spaces are currently available for those looking to come on board.
Christmas Treble Landed!
23rd December 2023
With there being a two-day break in the UK Racing calendar on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it was nice to sign off for a couple of days with a super Saturday over the jumps.
Credo (11/2) travelled well but was touched off into third the Tommy Whittle at Haydock, however, we were 3/3 in the subsequent ITV4 races at Ascot.
Crambo (5/1) kicked us off at the Berkshire track by getting up narrowly from Paisley Park in the Long Walk Hurdle and Venetia Williams’ recent French recruit, Victtorino (5/1), followed up in the Silver Cup Trophy under Charlie Deutsch.
The icing on the cake, though, was Luccia (6/1) winning the concluding handicap at Ascot - to land a 34/1 ish double with Victtorino and a 164/1 treble with Victtorino and Crambo - what great timing before Christmas :-)
We have also backed Crambo ante post at 20/1 for the Stayers Hurdle at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival - our first ante post for that important week in March. Fingers crossed he continues to progress and gives us a run for our money in the spring (generally 8/1 now)!
