Ascot's Lomg Walk Hurdle 2013

I've had more beers than I should have but, hey, it's Christmas...

Paddy Power go 7/2 Reve De Sivola for the Long Walk with Celestial Halo looking a non-runner.

Take it or leave it, but, in my humble opinion, Reve De Sivola's chance improves with every drop of rain that falls before the off. At Fishers Cross wasn't particularly fluent at the flights last time and on official ratings Reve has just one pound to find with the odds-on favourite...

Last year's winner Reve De Sivola is the value selection.

Nice to see one go in - I've been in poor form recently.

Applications for new AW tracks have been in the news of late - any thoughts?

Have a good Christmas, Sandracer.

At Fishers Cross (7/10f) is a horse who has lost his confidence. Often cautious at his hurdles, he came to challenge leader Reve De Sivola (11/5) up the home straight but was far from fluent and eventually deposited McCoy on the turf with a dive at the final flight.

Reve won by 10 lengths from Salubrious (6/1) who would have posed more of a threat had he not stumbled badly two out.

I gave up following which track may next install an all weather circuit Geedee. I am happy with the way it is personally.
