BBOTD Sunday 11th of December

Hereford 2:30 A nice little handicap hurdle at Hereford tomorrow with a few promising horses. Kateal was so so impressive last time out and could be hard to beat if in the same vein of form, but a rise in class and a rise of 15 pounds in the weights should make life tougher tomorrow. The Jonjo O Neill trainer Cross The Flags also has to enter the reckoning after a 6 length victory at Towcester last time out, but has a stiff enough opening handicap mark of 114, and of Kateal and Cross The Flags, i would fancy Kateal of the two.. However there is a horse in there that i think has each-way value, Annimation. Annimation ran a superb race at Aintree in April 2010 when 5th of 19 to Big Time Billy in a Listed Class 1 event, and bear in mind tomorrows race is a Class 4 handicap hurdle with far lesser opposition. It followed that with a success at Exeter on heavy going and then went on to finish 3rd to Sparky May, although was well beat. It has run in handicaps its last three runs, and got an opening mark of 110 on its handicap debut when unseating at Exeter, then went on to Newbury and again ran with credit when 10th of 18 behind Line Freedom of the Henderson yard, which was another Listed race. Had a break and had its first run of the season last month when 2nd of 11 to the impressive Emmaslegend of the Suzy Smith stable over 2m 6f in Class 3 off 105, tomorrows shorter trip will suit and this a drop in grade, Daryl Jacob keeps the ride and runs of the same mark, 105. With Cross The Flags and Kateal all bearing big weights, this should have a good chance. Je Ne Sais Plus, Love Of Tara, Kahsabelle, Lucky Breeze, Munlochy Bay, Big Knickers and Inkberrow Rose are all easy to swerve, its hard to know what Miss Tenacious is capable of now after two victories and Victoria Rose can run a good race but finds it hard to get its head up, so im happy with my bet on Annimation. Annimation WIN @ 8/1 Boylesports BOG :hope
