One winner today. Filfil, the biggest bet of the day won impressively. He was well backed too. The day ended disappointingly though. Barton Bounty finished a decent third and just bumped into a very good horse - fair enough. Icebuster though was almost criminal. James Millman gave the horse a shocking ride. To be fair the horse didn't really settle for a long time over this new trip but still turning for home Millman had so much horse beneath him. He was sitting clearly on the best horse and if he would have chosen the outside route like George Baker did on Peachez - the eventual winner (DH) - he would have won the race most certainly.
18.25 Kempton: Comedy House @ 12/1 Bet365 - 2pts win
Comedy House ran a very impressive race at Lingfield lto. The actual performance was way better than the bare result might suggest. He travelled very well in rear of the field but this was the worst place to be in a race ran on a very slow pace. As it appears to be the best place to be is in a prominent position at Lingfield's new AW surface at the moment anyway. So he had everything against him when the field turned for home. He was miles off the pace and had just way too much to do. He wasn't even in the picture of the TV cameras in the closing stages until a few yards out but just finished like a train eventually and has been beaten by just 2½ lengths then. He steps up to 2m tomorrow, which should suit him. He won over this sort of trip in a NHF race on the Lingfield All-Weather track in February this year when braking his maiden tag. This race tomorrow is just so poor I think Comedy House has a stand out chance to win for the first time in Handicap company.
