    Kempton 1.40 NO SUBSTITUTE e.w

    An 'above average' horse of Alan Kings who shaped well in bumpers and then over hurdles. He has apprantly schooled well at home and been given time to strenghten up. Hopeful of a place here. Should stay the trip fine.

    Front 2 very short at Kempton so had a speculative euro e/w on Silky Bob. Came third in the bumper won by Grands Crus brother Gevrey Chambertin and has the lad taking 5 off.

    Right Ipsos time really like this horse - have backed him today but still feel he needs 3m to show his best

    To continue the theme of criticising jockeys . . . . <laugh>

    Why did Sam Thomas not ride for that stride? The horse took it anyway and it looked on, if only he had maintained the rhythm rather than checking into the hurdle.

    Sam Thomas RV?

    It was a cruncher. Lucky if he hasn't broken something after that. Horse came right over him.

    I didn't like to say but he lost many lengths charting the course he did...not his greatest effort and his confidence is low currently.Hope he's ok.

    If i backed it i would be fairly miffed.

    Great performance Marodima - wonderful ride as well. Pipe horse hit too many fences.
