Daily Betting Advice / Dan Barber / 04 February 2011 /

Bangor's too small, and Catterick probably too wet given the weather in Yorkshire during the last couple of days, but we would have chosen Chepstow, anyway. Honest...

13:30 - Our Father created such a deep impression in winning at the track on his debut that he's a must, though there's always a risk with a once-raced horse and fellow penalised runner Upthemsteps provides adequate insurance.

14:05 - Join Together has the form and stamina to take all the beating in this warm staying novice, with the hope for our ends being that likely market rival State Benefit fails to handle either the quick turnaround or longer trip.

14:35 - Banking in a five-runner affair is fraught with danger and, unwilling to jump into the firing line, the most likely winner Surfing is joined by chasing type Tail of The Bank, both of whom shaped with promise over fences at Newbury on their previous start.

15:05 - Dromore Hill is no easy ride, but he's been a Placepotter's dream this season and it's to be hoped a seven-week break hasn't blunted his form. It's a trappy handicap, however, and it's worth risking lightly-raced Guydus to finally translate her hurdling form to chasing.

15:40 - This is arguably the key leg, as it would be no surprise at all if expected favourite Najca de Thaix disappointed, just as he did straight after this season's earlier wide-margin win (at this track). The Boss makes plenty of appeal, given he's unexposed and sure to be suited by the return to further, while Yetholm's promising Ffos Las run the time before will hopefully have been missed by a few.

16:15 - Rateable Value has taken well to chasing and there's hope for further improvement from him now he's dropped back in trip on the back of a strong-travelling second at Folkestone. He should give his running, which ought to be enough.
