Last week we dropped a couple of points to take us back to Square One and Level again for the season, yes it does almost feel like we are starting again 3 months in. Although with the places still going in and the lay bets also still losing (or winning, depending on your view) things are actually on the up. This week is of course very busy with the Cheltenham Festival on too, and those four days are being covered on this blog, but we will remain here at Kempton on the Wednesday evenings and trying to push on with our search for profits.
As always our focus will be on the handicap contests for each meeting but will occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1pt level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds but for the purpose of the results we record to SP.
There will also be the occasional lay opportunity of short priced favourites and as a result of yet another successful lay last week we have a success rate of 5 from 5. Results for this will be kept separately too and hopefully we can remain at 100% for a while.
This week there's a 7 race card on offer, 6 are handicaps and we get under-way at 18:05 with a 1m 4f contest.
Here is a link to the evenings race card;

Our first race tonight gets under way at 18:05 it's a handicap over mile and half. The going on the polytrack surface as usual is described as Standard and we'll update the weather later though the forecast is for a sunny day but will drop to a low of just 1C in the evening.
As it's a busy week and I've got to look through Cheltenham I'm just going to have time to put the selections for tonight's handicap events, might be able to update later on;
18:05 -- 1m 4f Handicap (Div 1).
PEEPS (4th 9/1) / MUNSARIM (10th 20/1).
