Chepstow is abandoned, but we have great racing from Kempton with the Racing Post Chase day.

The David Pipe horse Lucifer Bleu has been well supported this week by punters at the bookies and the exchanges. While Pipe is known for laying horses out for races such as this, and indeed leading on course bookie Barry Dennis made reference to the 8 year old bay gelding on Channel 4 this morning, I would look to lay the horse in-running.

My fancy in the race which also has further pointers to Cheltenham in two weeks time is Vanetia Williams horse, Limerick Boy who although had a poor run at Kempton in Nov has come on from that run when bolting up at Haydock on heavy going. I expect another big run from this mudlark.

Best of punting
