Looking ahead to the meetings currently going ahead on Boxing Day.  The main race is at Kempton.  The ‘King George ‘ Chase goes ahead at 3.05 which has only 6 possible runners.  It does look as though it will be a cracker.  Small field but 4 of the intended runners are well fancied, according to the current betting.    The  favourite is Cyrname, who will try to win a grade 1 over three miles for the first time.  He is the top rated in the field, and if given a soft time at the front end, he could have every chance of being as effective at 3 miles,as he is over his ideal trip of 2 miles 4 furlongs.  I am not sure I will get involved in having a bet in the race.

I am a massive fan of Lostintranslation, who will like a good pace to aim at, although he has to put in a career best, to enable him to win.

Plenty of other good fields at many of the race meetings. Huntingdon has already been called off, due to waterlogging.  Hopefully not to much rain between now and Thursday, and all the planned racing will go ahead.  I will hopefully be able to find a winner for my subscribers, and will try and point some of my followers in the right direction of horses with a chance.

More on Thursday.
