BBOTD - Friday the 9th of November

[robertob]

16.20 Wolverhampton: Chambles @ 8/1 Bet365 Chambles was a massive eye-catcher last time out here at Wolverhampton. She had a wide draw to overcome and missed the break. She's done well to get back in touch with the field and travelled then pretty well until they turned for home. She looked a real threat 2f out but was then badly hampered. She still managed to finish fourth in the end. Chambles is now 4lb above her last winning mark but looks still on the upward. The trip might be a bit on the short site considering her sire won over 11f but she won over this sort of distance already as well as she looks to have plenty of speed and she stays all the way either. A genuine pace looks on the card in this race and from a decent draw I think she will go very close tomorrow.

Re: BBOTD - Friday the 9th of November Musselburgh 3:20 - Red Tanber This horse has shown a real liking for fences having won five times over the bigger obstacles since this time last year. Four of those wins came at Musselburgh, three of them over 2m4f, so he can be expected to be in his element here. Out of turn, he took his place in the Jewson back in March, a race won by the current Gold Cup favourite. Unsurprisingly, he struggled and was pulled-up, but in this class he will obviously meet nothing of that calibre and can continue progressing. More positively, Lucy Alexander takes the ride. She was seen to great effect on Thursday having a 39/1 double at the track, which followed on nicely from her double on Satruday's Ayr card. She takes a handy 3lbs of the selection and horse and jockey already seem to have a good connection, with Lucy having steered Red Tanber to all five of his career victories. 1pt win @ 5/1 PP
