A Winner, Bit Of Class And The Chief

Some fine racing today at Sandown and Chepstow.
Sam Winner looks to continue on his winning run leading to a tilt at the Triumph Hurdle come March, the gelding will be short priced but should be good enough to win the 1.10 at Chepstow without to much fuss.
Over at Sandown I like the look of Minella Class in the 2.40. It was a nice win at Newbury in December, Red Merlin easily held, and the Henderson trained gelding should handle this step up in class; Toubab is the obvious danger.
I was a fan of Mille Chief last season and the Alan King five-year-old looked to be back to somewhere near last years form at Ascot in November. The gelding has to give weight to all his rivals but I am hopeful of a big run and will be taking a bit of the 9-4 on offer.
Be lucky
