Bleu Can Make Bookies See Red In Racing Post Chase

Lucifer Bleu heads William Hill's betting for tomorrow's Racing Post Chase at Kempton.

David Pipes eight year old, who won by 11 lengths at Wincanton last Saturday, is running 3lb out of the handicap but is still officially 21lb well in having been put up 24lb for the Wincanton rout.

William Hill make him a 2-1 shot for tomorrows race with Limerick Boy their 6-1 second favourite.

William Hill's Spokesman Ben Clarke commented: "There has been a lot of speculation about Lucifer Bleu's participation but that hasn't stopped punters from backing him and he's a big loser for us having laid 10-3 earlier in the week. He continued: "We have managed to get away with a few big ante-post gambles on David Pipe's horses recently but unfortunately when you look at the make up of the race we may struggle to get away with this one."
