Oddy, shame on you! I thought you’d be keen on Banbridge. There’s enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest three miles would be no problem, and he certainly has the speed for a fast track like Kempton. He’ll have my money if he takes his chance.
I was very disappointed with him in the Fortria Chase Tam but ran a blinder against Energumene in the Hilly Way. Enigmatic with a capital E
For me Banbridge is one of those horses that highlights the challenge of modern day AP betting. He appears to be totally ground dependent and you won’t get a run for your money if the ground goes worse than good to soft. So forget form and find a reliable long range forecast provider.
Had a little look at the King George field and feel Bravemansgame is overpriced. Previous winner and runner up (could well be going for 3 in row if he hadnt got knocked out of his stride when Shishkin unseated. His first 2 runs this season follow a similar pattern to last year and his handler knows how to win this. I’d be pretty certain I’ll get a run for my dough too. 25/1 Bet365
