If you’ve had your fill of rowing relatives, chocolate mousse, party poppers & atrocious television then get yourself to Kempton Park on Boxing Day for a cracking card that could turn out to be one of the great days of a really enjoyable NH season.
Shovelling cash on Kauto at 8/13 for a fourth King George isn’t my idea of fun, he should win and I dearly hope he does, but Deep Purple could turn out to be a huge improver and I expect a far better show from Imperial Commander than he put in last year, he might be the each way bet at 7/1, but I’ll swerve that in favour of a headline bet in the Christmas Hurdle.

A field of 17 go to post in a fiercely competitive renewal of the Boylesports Gold Cup this afternoon at 2.25pm, and as the headline suggests I’m pinning my hopes on local trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies bagging the big handicap chase with improving seven year old Oscar gelding Razor Royale in the hands of Paddy Brennan.
The fashion of his last appearance, in which he hacked up in an 0-140 Amateur Riders’ Handicap Chase at the Paddy Power Meeting, seeing off nearest pursuer The Sawyer by a distance, puts this likeable type in with genuine each way claims.
His work at home has been outstanding since then, and connections are quietly confident this afternoon.
The handicapper whacked him up 11lbs for his November win and rightly so, but that puts him in with a lovely racing weight of 10st 11lb, and with track, trip and ground to suit it’s little surprise Pricewise has found a home for him this morning.
Be quick and nick some 11/1 with any of Boylesports, Coral or Stan James.

A typically strong pre-Christmas Cheltenham meeting kicks off on Friday with a belting card that just has to be enjoyed. It’s that time of year when ordinarily sane people have a few too many and go bertie, so watch out if you’re heading to the races tomorrow:
After misbehaving in Wolfsburg Lord Culcheth has been deported by the German authorities just in time to make his seasonal debut at Prestbury Park.
All I can say is you’ve got to hope the stewards here don’t take the same dim view of him dismembering a cougar in full view of the locals that saw the Germans decide he’d overstayed his welcome.
Alarmingly his hapless sidekick Borres is also threatening to make the trip south, you’ll be able to spot him as it’s tough to distinguish where he’s a boy or a girl, with an alice band and wavy blonde hair a huge giveaway.

Denman is red hot favourite for the Hennessy but I'm opposing him!
A nigh on perfect weekend of sport lies in wait for armchair punters, with two fantastic days racing at Newbury, Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth, a typically strong Hatton’s Grace card at Fairyhouse, plus a mid-table scouse derby, the pivotal top of the table Arsenal v Chelsea game and the small matter of ‘el derbi superclasico’ over in Spain.
I can just picture my great mate Lord Culcheth parked on the sofa glugging his Liebfraumilch from a pint glass, Betfair fired up on his laptop, the 42 inch stolen plasma screen belting out Sky Sports or some obscure hooky Greek satellite channel, mobile at the ready, smug grin on his face as he snuggles up to some leathery old cougar he met while prowling the coat queue or the burger van at 4am that morning, dreaming of a trip to Andalucia with the profits of his punting.

The sun’s out, the scene’s set and Cheltenham’s buzzing in anticipation if a truly super Sunday. Today’s card contains a bit of everything – perfect!
With the ground against the odds on favourite in the opener I fancy Irish challenger Fosters Cross to make his mark (1.10pm).
He looked very good in beating Loosen My Load over hurdles at Tipperary in October (Loosen My Load won well here on Friday), before making the switch to fences at Galway, where he handled the stiff uphill finish in style to see off Schelm, conqueror of Paul Nicholls’ Free World at Warwick, earlier in the week.
Fosters Cross will clearly prefer the ground too – snaffle a bit of the 9/4 readily available with totesport, Betfred, Sportingbet or Skybet.

All eyes on Santa Anita for this weekend's tips
Two great days racing from the sun-drenched Los Angeles suburb of Santa Anita involving a typically strong European challenge are just around the corner, and to celebrate I’ll be enjoying the LA weather from the comfort of the somewhat more inclement surroundings of Doncaster.
Put the violin away though and get stuck in to to the best bets across the 14 race card.
Racing UK and At the Races are showing the whole thing, and on Friday night I can pass on a strong word for American trainer Jonathan Sheppard’s four year old filly Informed Decision in the Filly & Mare Sprint over seven furlongs on the Pro-Ride surface (11.02pm).

It’s very much a case of the best of both world’s this weekend as Newmarket prepare to put on a big show for their Champion Stakes Meeting as the Flat season draws to a close, while at Cheltenham the marmalade and mustard coloured corduroy trouser brigade will be out mob-handed as the National Hunt campaign gathers a healthy head of steam.
There are plenty of heavy hitters on display at both tracks, and we’ll kick off at Cheltenham where Philip Hobbs’ crack hurdler Snap Tie can make the perfect beginning to his chasing career to by taking the WBX.com Novices’ Chase over two miles at 2.55pm on Friday afternoon.
Only five go to post for this £12,000 pot, one of which is stablemate Safari Journey, and although the ground might be a shade quicker than connections would ideally prefer Snap Tie should be able to see off this opposition with a minimum of fuss on the way to sterner tests ahead.
He’s got the ideal physique for the job over the larger obstacles, and distinguished himself last term with a big display in the Christmas Hurdle, alongside tilts at several of the major prizes.

Great though it is, there might not be quite the same buzz walking into York on Saturday morning as there was arriving at Longchamp a week ago, but with the exploits of Sea The Stars, Youmzain, Rosanara and Manighar still fresh in mind and conversation, it’ll be great to be back on the track and looking forward to the last five weekends of the Flat.
What’s more, with the Jumps campaign gathering pace there’s a lot to look forward to, not least the news from Paul Nicholls’ press day of the return of heavyweights Denman (likely to return in the Hennessy after a racecourse gallop at Exeter on Nov 10th) and Kauto Star (likely to return in the JNwine.com Champion or the Betfair Chase).

Hat-trick seeking Polly’s Mark can get readers off to a flying start in Ascot’s fillies and mares listed race over a mile and a half at 3.45pm on Friday.
Already a course and distance winner after seeing off Chiberta King in a competitive handicap in the hands of Richard Hughes on Shergar Cup day in August, Polly’s Mark won plenty of fans that day, baulked at the three furlong marker and then denied a clear run a furlong from home, she quickened up impressively to put that contest to bed in smart fashion.
Trainer Clive Cox, who has the Group 2 Pride Stakes at HQ on Champions Day in mind for this progressive filly, looks to have found an ideal opportunity for this daughter of Mark Of Esteem to extend her winning run.
Prior to her Ascot win she scored in game fashion in listed company at Newbury, and the forecast good ground should be right up her street.

You know your luck’s in when the richest man in Ireland is on the phone raving about the chances of one at Dundalk, and that’s exactly what occurred when my ever reliable correspondent James ‘Formula One’ Cracknell picked up the blower to insist I have a few shillings on Crying Time in the EBF Auction Maiden over 7f on the All Weather tomorrow afternoon (3.35pm).
Closer inspection suggests he’s got a very solid case too – Crying Time’s debut was as a highly encouraging runner up when 33/1 to the very useful Viscount Nelson (subsequently a winner of a Listed event beating a stablemate of Crying Time) at Leopardstown, and reports suggest this likeable son of Chevalier has improved for that experience.
Neatly drawn in stall 2 he can gain his first career win here.
Closer to home I’ll be patrolling the Newbury betting ring for Channel 4, where the bad news is it’s my turn to cough up for the ice creams. Apparently we are in the grip of a recession though, so the chances of anyone getting a flake are minimal.
