2.45 Wetherby Kilbree Chief 5pts win @ 5/1 (Generally guaranteed)
This doesn't look a very high quality race, and with a piece of winning form to his name on soft ground at Hexmah, a chance is taken on Kilbree chief's ability to handle the ground here at a decent price. His form last autumn behind Three Kingdoms has been franked in no uncertain terms by the winner, and his Hexham win marked him down as a Novice Hurdler on the up. He was probably overfaced next time out, but ran well and displayed his usual good jumping ability throughout the contest. He has been given a short break, but his trainer suggested in a recent stable tour that he remains well handicapped and stays no problem. This looks a good piece of placement, and it is worth noting that Russell has sent more horses to Wetherby this season than before, with a 4/28 strike rate which improves her previous rate. She has a decent standard of horse in her yard and although the selection will be a chaser in time, he looks well up to this class and may have been let in lightly off OR120.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -5.00 / year: -13.50
