In a new addition to Odds Now's horse racing content, Lee Butterworth (@ButtysBets on X) will be popping in each weekday to offer his daily betting selections from the National Hunt sphere.
Lee will be offering up anything that takes his eye each weekday morning, with all stakes tracked for P/L purposes.
Don't forget to keep your eyes peels on Odds Now for SD's Lunchtime Tip, too – it lands exclusively on site between 12.30pm and 1pm every weekday.
Knightsbridge drops back in trip today for what will be his second run in handicap company.
I believe the handicapper has given him a chance here too, leaving him on the same mark as last time out. That was a nice enough race he ran that day, at this same venue.
On that occasion, he was held up, made smooth headway and disputed the lead rounding the home turn, before his run petered out. It's quite possible he found the 3M 2F trip just asking too much of his stamina – beaten into third by only three lengths in the end.
Returning to Hereford but dropping back to a middle distance trip, I think today's assignment suits him far better. With a solid conditional jockey booked in Freddie Keighley and first-time cheekpieces added, I think he is sure to go well here if the pieces don't inconvenience him.
Sitting 4lbs above his sole career winning mark and returning to the scene of that success, Chestnut Pete looks very interesting in Hereford's finale.
He absolutely bolted up when winning over course and distance back in March, beating the odds on Iskar d'Airy by 11 lengths. The aforementioned franked that form by winning his next two races.
Chestnut Pete ran credibly again two runs later, bumping into a handicap blot in Centara. Finishing second there, the 27-length winning distance may not offer much promise but actually, the winner went in again in four of its next six outings.
Centara beat Chestnut Pete off a mark of 108 and went on to win again off 131. So, clearly today's selection just bumped into one with stacks in hand.
He had a recent pipe opener at Ludlow over an inadequate trip. He finished last of the four runners there but for me, that was used for race fitness only. I'd expect a much improved effort this time.
1pt win - 1.20pm Hereford - Knightsbridge - 7/2 (Various)
1pt win - 4.20pm Hereford - Chestnut Pete - 15/2 (William Hill/ Betfred)
Total staked - 2pts
Prices correct as of 11.30am on Monday November 3rd 2025
