today´s N.H. racing

Three jumps meetings today, but easily the best card is at Kempton, where the main feature is a listed hurdle race for mares over 3 miles at 14.40 CET with some interesting runners. Amber Brook (Nigel Twiston-Davies/ Paddy Brennan) was a easy winner at Wincanton 18 days ago, but now meets Hora (Nicky Henderson/ Barry Geraghty), who was 10 lengths behind after winning her 3 previous races, on 13 lbs worse terms so that the form may well be reversed, while Emma Lavelle´s Blaeberry (Jack Doyle) is a danger to all. Henderson can also win the novice chase at 14.00 with French Opera, who will be partnered by Marcus Foley. Backers of outsiders should consider Black Hills (Jonathan Geake/ Andrew Thornton) in the 2 1/2 mile handicap chase at 16.15; he won the same race last year off a 3 lbs higher mark.
