With jumps returning to Ascot today it’s a good time to reshare this video. A useful insight into how I approach one of my favourite fixtures during the NH season. It's free to view on YouTube and features annotations explaining my thought process 💻🏇 youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ1jI…

@OnTheGreyhounds It's morning here, no worries. Drop me a message on Telegram at any time - my username is @inplaywithivan

@inplaywithivan Sorry for the late message, are you still running the course? Interested in a chat if so, I struggle with the flat - only really trade Jumps

@inplaywithivan Hi, are you still actively trading?

@Tavs_Right_Foot @kevin_kjf @transferscot Not sure how the split works but quite unfair after being so far ahead

Rangers have once again put Scotland on the European map. How far will they go this year?

@cypreschill Hi Bill, it is still active.

@inplaywithivan Is the course still available?

I don't usually do three runners fields, but Leicester is off more than it's on these days. Nice to also see both highlighted lays from my sheet lose the race 🏇💻 youtu.be/WAr32qZH1hs

Spotted the runner jump slowly towards the end of the first circuit but remained patient. Further mistakes down the back straight made it a comfortable lay in the end 🏇💻 youtube.com/watch?v=NG_id4…

Was excited to end the year with Warwick today but it’s been abandoned – it’s my favourite fixture besides Carlisle. Plenty to look forward to in the new year, guides are available on my site and also provide access to the selection too you see me using in videos🏇💻

My one and only bet today, wasn’t long home from xmas shopping. Put the racing on while I waited for football to start and my burger to arrive. Like yesterday I used the selection tool before the highlighted runner was caught flat footed at the rear 🏇💻 youtube.com/watch?v=vF8aOQ…

Runner seemed to jump better downhill than it did uphill, but still probably the most comfortable lay of the day despite the small field. Good to see a few in the Telegram room on the same selection 🏇💻 youtube.com/watch?v=PQViri…

With Ascot's xmas racing weekend starting tomorrow it’s a good time to reshare this video, it's a useful insight into how I approach one of my favourite fixtures. It's free to view on YouTube and similar videos are available to subscribers of my site 🏇💻 youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ1jI…

First post in a long time. Great message from a subscriber earlier today. It still works! Well played @jackbaldwin97. Happy Christmas everyone!!!

Hopefully the bad weather is behind us now that so many of my favourite fixtures are on the horizon – Bangor, Carlisle, Cheltenham, Exeter, Hereford, Leicester, Musselburgh, Plumpton and Warwick. Beta version of the group’s V2 selection tool is up and running too! 🏇💻

@CMCM1109 More physical quality required at this level with a pragmatic approach - like under O'Neil, Strachan, Lennon. Though could argue it would hurt us domestically and squad won't have same resale value playing less attractive football - value of Rangers Europa final squad not great.

At the end of the day, we need to buy better players to win games at this level never mind qualify for the knockout round. That's just where we are imo.

@Ryxn47 @DanNoelLiam @weeseabee @Kieran_Celtic That makes more sense, I agree with this. I've misinterpreted the previous tweet.

@inplaywithivan @DanNoelLiam @weeseabee @Kieran_Celtic Improve the starting 11 is what I mean. It’ll be hard to have quality back up players here so we’d be as well doing what we can to have the best starting 11. Signing all these cheap punts like Kwon is a waste of time

Front three of Johnston, Oh and Forrest hopefully an eye-opener to the board for January.

@Ryxn47 @DanNoelLiam @weeseabee @Kieran_Celtic What makes you think quality players want to sit on the bench in our league when we're playing well? Look at the Giakoumakis example, and even he'd tend to trip over his own feet.

@DanNoelLiam @weeseabee @Kieran_Celtic Exactly. Why have 3 players for every position when the backups are rotten? Just spend the money on quality over quantity and trim the squad. Apparently we’ll go into administration if we do that though

Can’t wait for Exeter tomorrow, my favourite RTV fixture besides Carlisle and Warwick! Chepstow's jump season opener on Fri/Sat is also upon us, time for proper racing! Plenty to look forward to over the autumn and winter - trading guides are available at the link in my bio 💻🏇
