Happy New Year, I very much hope 2020 is a great and healthy one for you.

No better way to nurse a hangover than Cheltenham races on New Year’s Day! A fair meeting with the Paddy Power Chase the feature.

Nothing catches the eye at Cheltenham, but I've placed a speculative few pounds EW on Peter The Mayo Man in the 2:15 at Musselburgh. Priced at 14-1.

Peter The Mayo Man has a good bit in hand based on past ratings, this is also his second start since a wind op.

It can take a few runs for a horse to realise it can breathe better whilst the run at Cheltenham last time out, was better than the finishing position suggests. A sharp track and return to better ground as per today, might see Peter The Mayo Man out run his odds in a competitive race.
