Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Generally, I'll identify and share the selection in the evening before the following day's race and I then add a detailed write-up later on that night/next morning.
Those happy to take the early price on trust can do so, whilst some might prefer to wait for my reasoning. As I fit the early service in around my family life, I can't give an exact timing on the posts, so I suggest you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for instant notifications of a published pick.
Who?
Stockburn @ 11/4 BOG
...in a 5-runner, Class 4, Novices Handicap Chase for 5yo+ over 3m2f on Soft ground worth £4,289 to the winner...
Why?...
Well, on what looks as poor a day of racing that I've seen for some time. I'm going to keep it really simple with a 7 yr old gelding who has made the frame in all bar one of his six efforts over fences, winning once along the way. He stays much further than this, doesn't mind soft ground, he's dropping in class and has been eased 2lb by the assessor since finishing 3rd LTO 39 days ago.
All of which suggests he should be fine with race conditions for his first visit to Doncaster, where trainer Alan King's chasers are 9 from 32 (28.1% SR) for 15.67pts (+49% ROI) over the last five years, including...
- 9/31 (29%) for 16.67pts (+53.8%) from males
- 8/19 (42.1%) for 23.46pts (+123.5%) after a top 3 finish LTO
- 7/20 (35%) for 3.33pts (+16.65%) at odds shorter than 5/1
- 7/19 (36.8%) for 20.84pts (+109.7%) from 6-8 yr olds
- 6/24 (25%) for 18.89pts (+78.7%) in handicaps
- 6/19 (31.6%) for 15.53pts (+81.7%) in Jan/Feb
- 3/9 (33.3%) for 3.66pts (+40.7%) on Gd to Soft in case the going eases
- and 2/5 (40%) for 1.71pts (+34.2%) on soft ground...
...whilst 6-7 yr old males sent off shorter than 5/1 after a top 3 finish LTO are 4 from 8 (50% SR) for 2.29pts (+28.6% ROI), all in the December to February period, 2 from 2 on Good to Soft and 1 from 1 on soft ground...

P.S. all P/L returns quoted in the stats above are to Betfair SP, as I NEVER bet to ISP and neither should you. I always use BOG bookies for SotD, wherever possible, but I use BFSP for the stats as it is the nearest approximation I can give, so I actually expect to beat the returns I use to support my picks. If that's unclear, please ask!
