#CHIRICO VALLIS

PEEJAYBEE is given a chance at 5/1 in the TV opener at Sandown on Saturday (1.15pm). There is surprisingly little soft ground form on offer here, but the selection certainly improved for it this time last year before posting his best effort in the deep here in the EBF Final, a run that should make him competitive off this mark.

Happy New Year! I don't know about you, but I always forget to say that when I see someone for the first time since the change of the year. The period between Christmas and New Year (I got many an eye roll for calling it Twixmas!) blurs into a succession of days and as I was in bed before 9pm on New Year's Eve, 2022 rolled into 2023 almost…
