Peterborough Chase 10th December 2009

2.00 HUNTINGDON - DEEP PURPLE

Deep Purple is the lay in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon because he does not fit the profile of past winners of this race. Winners of the Peterborough Chase have won or been placed in the King George, placed in the Tingle Creek, placed in the Royal and Sun Alliance and ran in the Arkle and Old Roan chases. The horses which satisfy these trends are: Albertas Run (won Royal and Sun Alliance and 2nd King George), Racing Demon (7th Arkle and 3rd King George) and Tidal Bay (won Arkle, 2nd Tingle Creek, 2nd Old Roan).

Deep Purple has only won a Charlie Hall chase and is forecast to be 5/1.

Tingle Creek Chase 5th December 2009

2.25 SANDOWN - BIG ZEB

Big Zeb is the lay in the Tingle Creek at Sandown because he does not satisfy my trends criteria for this race. Winners of the Tingle Creek have won or been placed in the Champion Chase, won or been placed in the Arkle and won or been placed in the Haldon Gold Cup. The horses which meet these criteria are: Well Chief (won Arkle, 2nd Champion Chase), Twist Magic (3rd Haldon Gold Cup and winner of this race in 2007) and Forpadydeplasterer (won Arkle). Therefore we have three strong candidates to oppose the favourite who is set to be sent off at 6/4.
