9.15 Kempton Barnmore 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 25/1 (Totesport, Betfred, Bet Victor, William Hill, guaranteed) - WON
Barnmore comes from a family who have excelled on polytrack, and he caused a bit of a shock when winning at 33/1 over this course and distance in a class 6 event last August. His form is very patchy, and he doesn't wear a hood for no reason, but he did show some promise on his seasonal debut over an inadequate trip of seven furlongs here. He followed that up with a fair run over a mile, held up in a race where it paid to be handy. He was probably a bit better than the final result that day and it was a much better contest than this. The handicapper has been kind in dropping him 2lb, and although he remains 6lb higher than his winning mark, he is lightly raced for a six year old and should improve by some way yet. His yard were out of form but had their first winner since January 5th at Goodwood the other day, and I would expect the selection to turn up much fitter than he was three weeks ago on his last start. He doesn't look the worst longshot running tonight, and although pace is a potential issue again I'd suggest his price should be closer to 12/1 / 14/1 than his current quotes of 20/1+. We'll back him each-way and win.
Profit & loss: day: +85.00 / month: +159.45 / year: +246.65
