BBOTD Wednesday 15th January

2.25 - Newbery - Restless Harry 1pt @ 7/1 William Hill Restless Harry has clearly regressed slightly since competing at the very top level in staying hurdles but he should have a chase in him off this kind of mark. He was rated in the high 150’s at his best but he finds himself in a handicap chase off a mark of 122 tomorrow. He’s been well backed on his past 2 starts but things haven’t gone to plan. He was unlucky on his penultimate start when unseating after being badly hampered by a fallen horse and LTO he also unseated, after a blunder but was travelling perfectly well. I’m hoping tomorrow will see a turn in fortunes for him. Conditions are perfect as he likes testing ground and won on his only C&D run. He finds himself in the weakest race he has contested for some time, despite it still being a decent race. He’s had a few starts now this season so should be at peak fitness and the fact he’s turned out relatively quickly after than fall suggests he’s suffered no ill effects from it.

Re: BBOTD Wednesday 15th January Kempton 5:25 I was initially interested in the Marco Botti trained Camachoice given the stable form of late but the 12/1 is long gone, now into 8/1 so value gone. The value in the race for me now is the Roger Ingram trained Triple Chocolate who won at 50/1 over 7f here at Kempton on debut, taking to the surface very well. He ran a good race again last time out here at Kempton also when 4th of 14 behind Firmdecisions and gets to run off the same mark tomorrow now tackling 1 mile. Is out of Danehill Dancer who was a dual Group 1 winner as a two year old over 6f & 7f, so slight question marks over the trip but he should get it judged on his debut win. Triple Chocolate WIN @ 7/1 Bet365
