BBOTD Wednesday 29th January

6.50 - Kempton - Corporal Maddox 1pt @ 10/1 Paddypower I’m quite keen on Corporal Maddox in this competitive handicap, he's shaped like a winner in waiting on a few occasions this winter and he has good claims once again tomorrow. I backed him at the beginning of last month after he ran really well over C&D twice. He’s a hold up performer and had suffered with traffic problems and wide draws, but nearly put it all together that day when coming a neck 2nd to the re-opposing Tasrih. He struggled next time out in conditions company but bounced straight back lto when he was a never nearer 4th in a better race over 6f, suggesting the step back up to 7f will be in his favour. He’s not obviously well handicapped off a mark of 85 these days but his close 2nd off this mark last month suggests he’ll be competitive. On the form of his 2nd here in December he should have a fair chance of beating Tasrih, who beat him by a neck that day but is now 2lbs worse off with my selection. Nassau Storm and Bowstar were both in behind that day, and Nassau Storm is 4lb worse off tomorrow so Corporal Maddox should hopefully confirm that form too. He has a good draw in stall 4 tomorrow night and although i'm not a massive fan of George Baker, he is a good AW jockey and should give Corporal Maddox the style of ride he needs.
