I think that the 'Nigel Twiston-Davies runners' section is going to be a very useful addition to our website. However, it is important to remember that, although we get a totally honest assessment of chances - the NTD team also have to be diplomatic and take into consideration the feelings of owners.
Therefore, I think we need to monitor the comments over a period of time, thus giving us some opportunity to learn how to read between the lines. For example, does 'worth a very small each way bet' mean exactly that or 'I don't want to offend the owners by saying he will not be sighted' ?
In my opinion the time that this column will bear most fruit is during Aug - Oct when the NTD team have most success. I would suggest we take a strong interest in this daily column until then before deciding whether or not we feel confident about making money from this new addition to Patterns and Profiles.
