Boxing Day

Summary: Bet - 9pts, Return - 0pts, Loss - 9pts
Overall Profit - 88pts

Todays Kempton analysis as follows:
1:25: Chances are given to That'lldoboy and Semi Colon, but slight preference is for Our Mick.
Recommendation: Our Mick - 1pt @ 8/1* (Ladbrokes)
2:00: Bobs Worth and Silviniaco Conti are decent horses but Grands Cru looks a different class and with a clear round must win.
Recommendation: Grands Crus - 8pts @ 11/8* (Paddy Power) 
2:35: I suspect Binocular will overturn his defeat by Overturn, but the unexposed Rock on Ruby is chanced to beat both of them.
Recommendation: Rock On Ruby - 4pts @ 2/1* (William Hill)
3:10: A real 2 horse race, leaving us Kauto Star or Long Run. Call me sentimental but the longer odds offered on Kauto have persuaded me to back the older horse.
Recommendation: Kauto Star - 4pts @ 3/1* (William Hill)

Other Bet:
1:45 Wetherby: Sarando - 1pt @ 8/1* (William Hill)
