Some good action across three cards today with Captain Chris, Melodic Rendezvous and Zarkandar all in action. The Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton which features the last two named is probably the race of the day but it seems priced about right to me.
The only bet of the day is in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot. Overnight Many Clouds headed the market at 7/4 with Gevrey Chambertin his main danger at around 9/4. I got the vibe looking at Twitter that the Pipe horse would be a popular fancy as we got closer to the race and that has transpired with Many Clouds now touching 3.6 on Betfair. This horse has some solid looking form this season in some decent novice events. He stayed on well behind Black Thunder at Haydock over 2m7f in November, form that was franked by the winner who ran the very smart Collin Wood close(ish) in his next race. And then at Wetherby over the Christmas period he beat two subsequent winners very nicely, jumping well throughout. I think 7/4 was about right for this race today. Gevrey Chambertin is a horse with a bit of hype about him and although he won the Fixed Brush event at Haydock well enough, and was probably better than the bare result that day as his jockey went for home a bit too soon, he has yet to jump a fence in public and has to be taken on at his now cramped odds.
