15:00 Huntingdon- Jack Sprat e/w Class-4 Handicap Chase over an extended 2m7f on good-to-soft ground. Good chance this Walk In The Park gelding (Damsire: Flemensfirth) will improve on his first two runs over fences. Certainly looks the type to do well in this sphere. Wears cheek-pieces for the first time. Gavin Sheehan rides for the Jamie Snowden yard. 11/2 (Bet365) best price at time of writing, on the ATR site.
Hope this one in the opener at Kelso does better than yesterday's dismal effort from yours truly. PU early on after running barely a furlong. Terrible! 11:55 Kelso - Young Getaway Class-3 Maiden Hurdle over 2m on soft ground. Decent opportunity for this Getaway gelding to open his account with a win. Sean Quinlan rides for the Nicky Richards yard. 4/1 (Betfred) best price early-doors, on the ATR site.
Very imteresting first run for magnolia in.the next at Kelao for out of form Hammond byt bottom weight with a 7lb claimer 100/1 ew boosted to 110s . Def ran better than that in France
I must say it is fantastic to see Energumene back today (after 593 days absence) in what will be just his 16th start under rules as a 10 year old - low mileage or what? If he retains his ability the 10/1 for him re the Champion Chase has to be of interest, especially if it came up testing. But of course we don't yet know if he retains his ability and we don't know if it will come up testing so that's why you can get 10/1. First step is to win today and he is joined in the field by fellow Closutton "crock" Ferny Hollow who has had just the 1 run in nearly 3 years. Should be a fascinating contest and amazing that Mullins runs 6 of the 8 (all rated north of 150) - just a shame that Elliott, de Bromhead et al don't have a runner.
Energumene's engine is definitely still intact although he jumped to the right quite markedly at the last 3. Best price 6/1 for the Champion Chase
