Punters Hold On
Punters have steamed in to Hold Em for Saterday's Racing Post Chase at Kempton.
Keith Goldsworthy's charge was the best backed horse yesterday with McBookie.com and is now 11-1 from 14's.
McBookie.com spoksman Paul Petrie said. Hold Em has won just once after five starts over but he has been third to some of the top novices such as Breedbreeze and Gone to Lunch.
He kept on really well on his on his handicap chase debut at Cheltenham last time and over this longer trip on just a pound higher mark it is not difficult to see why punters are backing him.

Neptune books Gold Cup ticket
Neptune Collonges got his season back on track with a comforable success in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown.
The 8-13 market leader tracked The Listener for much of the three-mile contest and moved effortlessly to the front halfway down the back straight.
It seemed a a matter of how far from that point on and although Welsh National winner Notre Pere stuck to his guns well, Neptune Collonges only had to be kept up to his work to score by five lenghts.
William Hill and Paddy Power cut the winner to 6-1 from 7's to go two places better than last year's thrid-placed finish in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Pandorama took advantage of the final flight fall of Cousin Vinney to take top honours in the Deloitte Novice Hurdle.
The two market leaders had it between them soon after turning for home but Cousin Vinney was travelling much the better of the two approaching the final flight ,with jockey Patrick Mullins looking round for dangers.
The two of them jumped the last in unison but Cousin Vinney knuckled on landing and Pandorma (6-4) was able to come 10 lenghts clear.
Hill cut Cousin Vinney to 4-1 from 5's for the Supreme Novs' Hurdle. Pandorma is 10's for the Ballymore with Paddy Power.
Hills also make the winner 12-1 from 14's for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.

Dave's Dream Believer
Nicky Henderson has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to top class hurdles and new kid on the block Dave's Dream looks ready to join the Seven Barrows elite and make name for himself at Ascot.
I'm not saying to put your shirt on him but this Anshan gelding has a big future.
The six year old will be having only his third start over hurdels in the Betfair.

day 7
Legendary jockey Tony McCoy broke yet another record at Plumpton yesterday by riding his 3,000 winner over the jumps.
The thirteen times champion reached the milestone aboard Nicky Hendersons Restless D' artex
in the Beginners Chase.
After a success earlier in the day on Hello Moscow McCoy and Miss Sarenne agonisingly crashed out at the last when well in control of the Mares'Novices' Hurdle.
Born in County Antrim in 1974 McCoy became the all time winning most jumps jockey in Britain, beating Richard Dunwood's record of 1,699 when scoring on Mighty Monofesto at Uttoxeter on August 27 2002. He also eclipsed Sir Gordon Richards' record total of 269 winners in a season on Valfonic at Warwick in April, 2002.
McCoy said 'its' not something I'm going to play down-I am ecstatic. All 3,000 winners have taken lots of hard work.
It's very easy to get driven are lucky to enough to do a job you love.
