Racing Chat - Sunday Dec 10th

[BillyHills]

With Kelso I cant find much value around for tomorrow. I fancy the three favourites for the big races on Sunday and of those i strongly fancy Top Notch for the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon.

A very reliable type who has proved a better horse since going over fences. Some say he is just a tad below top class but seems to pay his way alright. He won well at Ascot last time and seems to suit this intermediate trip well. He's not much of a price but I cant fancy anything that is to be honest.

230 H: Top Notch 1/1 bet365 NAP
205 P: Sizing John 11/8 Betfred
220 C: Un De Sceaux 4/7 Hills

2:30 Huntingdon TOP NOTCH  10/11 now  general

Got to agree with Billy on this one.  Racing Post Analysis from last run at Ascot 25th November

They went a proper gallop in this Grade 2 chase and the winner proved a class apart. Straightforward form.

TOP NOTCH took his form to a new level with a bloodless success. He tired when last of three at Aintree on his comeback over hurdles a fortnight earlier and that has evidently put him spot on for his return to chasing. There was a lot to like about his economical fencing and it takes his course record to 3-3. A return to the top table is now firmly on the cards for this likeable performer. The Ryanair at the Cheltenham festival is his big target and he was into a general 6-1 in ante-post lists for that.
