Bettrends, sells all kinds of tips from weekly Saturday advice to ante post advice.
To be fair to him, if your package doesn’t make a level stakes profit he gives you a free week...

[Outlaw]

He has also wrote a book i purchased , From Soba to Moldova, different to his betting guides as more a insight into his methods/approaches to finding winners and few stories chucked in there not bad thou tad steep at £20 and only him who sells it so unless a mate has it no way round the price . Offered a discounted price after purchasing for his tipping stuff that i politely declined thou on his website he's put up The Organist as an early play for all to see.

Just had a look appears to no longer be on there what a scrooge ! if you go on his twitter and look at the tweet from 19/12/18 at 9am he mentions something about the Sherwood stable tour and in the comments refer to his page , that is the day i looked so between then and last couple of days he's pulled it for some reason.

3 horses with 3 or more years of very solid festival handicap form that are of interest at an early stage:

Coo Star Sivola (Age 6) – Ultima
2018: 1st Ultima
2017: 4th Martin Pipe
2016: 3rd Fred Winter

Coo Star Sivola won the Ultima off 142 - he's down to 145 already.

33/1 with 365, 40/1 with lads.

CSS wouldn't have won the Ultima carrying an extra 3 lbs last time, but he'd have been second.

Will be 7 at next years festival, I imagine Lizzie should still be able to claim 3 then and she'll keep the ride.

Must be worse each way pokes than that, even though its still December...

Have a great Christmas everyone.

Wasn't he in The Monkies??

Pacific De Baune has now been switched back to hurdles after 2 less than convincing chase starts (a win and an unseat). He still very much interests me as i think he’s well handicapped regardless of fences or hurdles. His trip is likely to be around 2 and a half miles so he could end up somewhere like the Martin Pipe or Coral Cup. I’m not deterred by him switching back to hurdles either as Topofthegame did so last season to great effect.

Sire Du Berlais had a nice bit of exercise in the Pertemps qualifier today.

If they can keep him fit and get a good prep into him he could have a pot in him for sure.

Was there yesterday, first thing I said was “that was a mark manager”. Got hampered two out, having left himself a lot to do, this along sure made sure he couldn’t win, then ridden out, finishing very strongly. He’ll hold or drop his hurdles mark and be very well in, IMO.

He could be one for he Lanzarote Hurdle.
