Saturday Punt - 4 Nov 2023

Hoping a change of month brings a change of luck - evrything i touch, just lately, turns to mush. Backed 3 absolute 'mud-lovers' yesterday, only to watch them finish at the tail-end of those that made it round😕

Today's ITV7 is covered by just the two meetings, Wetherby (1st leg 1.50) and Ascot and, while there are a few small fields in there, there are 4 decent-sized handicaps to get my teeth into.

Just having a second look now Ken. Looks like a minimum stakes sort of day. I notice that Appleby trained a winner and Frankie rode a winner at Santa Anita last night. Wouldn't surprise me if he carried on riding in the States despite saying he is retiring. A sort of Franki goes to Hollywood move. Back shortly.

E/W Acca Trebles and Doubles.

Frere D'armes  @13/1  2.05Ascot
Rare Middleton  @13/2  3.15Ascot

Monbeg Genius  @13/2  3.45Ascot

With those 4  ... You Wear It Well, Thyme Hill, Bravemansgame make up the IT7..  May do a flutter at Newmarket. I see that a couple that I have followed off the proverbial cliff are running again. If I ignore them they will bleedin romp home. Good luck if you are haing a punt.

Glad I went off piste for a flutter at Newmarket. Nicked a tidy 80/1 E/W Double for my trouble. Double my days stakes back so all is OK.
