We saw a very, very good performance yesterday from LET IT RAIN. This newsletter’s Young Blood preview gave her no respect before the race, and boy were we proved wrong.
Nice filly! Let It Rain pulls clear to win the bumper at @Ascot for @DSkeltonRacing and @harryskelton89...

She destroyed a field of lovely pedigree’s and made it look like a piece of work. Love the name LET IT RAIN too. She is going to be very exciting in years to come for Dan and Harry Skelton.
Now for today’s horses. Remember, make sure you play the TOTE FANTASY game to maintain an interest in every big race while locking up the betting chimp. It’s good betting practice!
Let’s dive in.
You’ve all heard of Viagra. The one time, pump and dump pill. Lasts what - 30 minutes? Rubbish.
For the first time ever, Cialis is available without prescription. And boy it’s an absolute game changer.
Approved for medical use only in 2003, the French call it ‘le weekend’ because basically this thing lasts in your system for 3 day.
Boner’s on demand, for 3 three days!
Perfect for a weekend away when you know you’re going to need a little help.
Try it through UK MEDS, use discount code EQUINTIES10 and thank us later.
p.s none of this is medical advice but we’ve tried it…
HEADLINE ROUND UP
ARKLE OUTSIDER
Yesterday at Ascot saw Venetia Williams land ANOTHER victory this winter with DJELO in the Grade 2 Noel Novices’ Chase. Plenty were impressed by the performance, though one man was particularly taken by him, so much so he made a good case for DJELO to have a potential tilt at the Arkle in March!
Could one of the fine bookmakers out there in betting land add Djelo to the ante-post market for the Arkle? He's unbeaten in three runs over fences, and while this wasn’t the strongest Grade 2, he had it won from the fourth last. L'Homme Presse graduated from handicaps to Grade 1… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

So, does Emmet have a good case here? Just yesterday, news came out that INTHEPOCKET had suffered a setback and his return was unknown, and we have yet to see last year’s Supreme winner, MARINE NATIONALE, over fences. Of course, there is a marked step between a race like yesterday's and an Arkle, but he clearly stays so a stiff Cheltenham shouldn’t be an issue, and he pretty much bolted up yesterday.
Having won a Grade 2, Williams and his connections will have no choice but to pursue a Grade 1 company, so Emmet’s claim certainly isn’t a dead one.
Lovely performance! Djelo goes clear to win the Grade 2 Howden Noel Novices' Chase at @Ascot for @VenetiaWRacing and @charliedeutsch2...

A quick word should be given to the second, KANDOO KID, who ran a cracking race and his nature of staying on late will see him pick up a big staying handicap soon.

A ROYALE DISSAPOINTMENT
More Venetia news now as this year’s King George contest is set to be without Betfair Chase winner ROYALE PAGAILLE.
🚨BREAKING:
Royale Pagaille OUT of King George, says trainer Venetia Williams

The nine-year-old has a sore foot and is likely to head to the Peter Marsh Chase in January off a mark of 166 which will be a tough task. This leaves six in the contest after connections confirmed GERRI COLOMBE would be heading to the Savills Chase and ALLAHO is still the short-priced favourite.
TWEETS OF THE DAY
😳 Immortal must work well at Hendo's cause the boys keep doing their bollocks on him every time he runs.
That's the third time in a row he's been a beaten fav.
Travels well, finds nothing for pressure, potential wind problem.

Another fantastic period of racing ahead of us pre and post Xmas. Nice to see the quality and drama of this racing has quietened the Chelt fest is everything crowd! This brilliant jumps season is a rollercoaster of thrills and spills from October to April! Enjoy your Xmas racing!
