Lineman lands double

Morning everyone, another successful weekend with Tatenen (4/7) and Witchita Lineman (3/1) both winning to land our £25 win double to secure another £132.14 for the pot.

There was a feast of National Hunt action on Saturday and Sunday with quality performances on show. I saw enough from Voy Por Ustedes (general 5/1 chance) to suggest a huge run in the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park.

Exotic Dancer also ran a blinder and has seen his odds slashed (10/1 from 20/1) for the Boxing Day clash.

AP McCoy was seen at his vintage best in getting our selection Witchita Lineman first past the post at Chepstow, while Ruby Walsh enjoyed a far easier ride aboard Tatenen.

I wasn't too impressed with the jumping of Witchita Lineman and he'll need to fence a lot smarter if he is to take his chances in the top novice chases this season.

Tatenen, however, was very, very impressive. The Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival is his number one target.

Paul Nicholls' Stable Tour in the Racing Post makes for interesting reading and Mobaasher is an interesting one which he has picked out as a 'dark horse' always highly regarded when under the care of Charlie Mann, I reckon a small each-way interest in the Stayers' Hurdle (general 20/1chance) at Cheltenham could be worthwhile.

All-time record: Bets 79; Winners 25; Losers 53; Non-runners 1; Profit £950.43.
