"But he went close in a jumpers' bumper last time at Lingfield, a race in which he was a bit unlucky."
Brian The Snail moved fairly quickly to win for Alan yesterday at a nice price of 4.6, and he has two more all-weather bets for Wednesday night under the Kempton lights...
No doubting Charlie's claims
18:30 Kempton - Back Charlie Arthur @ BSP
Well done to Brian The Snail for holding on yesterday for a winner, although it was very much feast or famine with the second selection completely bombing out.
For Wednesday's action; the focus continues on the all-weather with Kempton. My first bet is the consistent Charlie Arthur for Richard Hughes.
There was nothing wrong with his effort at Chelmsford last time when finishing second, but the run I am most keen on was from Kempton in September when he met plenty of traffic and looked unlucky.
This horse can quicken with a turn of foot and can make the running and looked a good price this morning at 6.05/1.
Go with Distingo in nightcap
20:00 Kempton - Back Distingo @ BSP
With quite a few jumps' trainers having a go at the staying event to close the card, stamina will be much needed to claim the prize for this, and Distingo has a major chance for the Gary Moore team.
He hasn't won for a long time and has spent a fair old while in the doldrums, but with that, his mark is in freefall as a one-time 137-rated jumper to now a lowly 60 horse on the level.
But he went close in a jumpers' bumper last time at Lingfield, a race in which he was a bit unlucky. We know the horse stays well up to 3m, which is needed with the track on the slow side.
