Two selections for this evening.
A 10c rule 4 will now apply with most bookmakers.
I watched Beat The Bell with interest last time at Southwell, given his extremely impressive win the previous day at Wolverhampton. He simply does not act on fibresand, though, indeed his sire "boasts" a 0% strike rate on that surface which is funny in itself. It does mean that run can be forgiven, and I made a mental note the previous day to support Beat The Bell on polytrack wherever he went next. We have a nice price on our hands even taking into account a rule 4, and Jamie Osborne's 25% record with older horses in claimers over the last five seasons returning a level stakes profit of +£15.65 to the pound suggests the in form handler has a good knowledge of placing his horses in these contests. I think he should take the beating granted a reasonable pace to aim at.
5.40 Kempton Schoolmaster 5pts win @ 9/2 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Won a really strong looking contest at Lingfield last time out, packed full of good horses. Even though he god an easy lead, his tactical speed was impressive and marked him down as progressive and probably way ahead of the handicapper. He looks set to get an easy lead again tonight, and the question mark for me is whether he will act on this track as well as he does at Lingfield. I don't see too many reasons why not, and I certainly think the price discrepancy between he and Tropics is ridiculous - Tropics beat trees last time out, is not as experienced, yet has been awarded the same mark. I fancy Adam Kirby to sit prominent and take it up around the home turn, hopefully stretching on to win.
Profit & loss: day: -10.00 / month: +58.90 / year: +39.00
