    Just having a look at the cards now mate. Why the **** do they keep running Kinkeel in the top 2 mile races? He's only rated 71 FFS <doh>

    He does get the odd 4th and 5th place and earns prizemoney,about 6k in the past.

    Hardly fair on the old boy though.

    Agree stick - the horse he beat in his point, Rally The Troops, has joined Phillip Hobbs yard and ran a good 2nd on UK debut in a bumper at Wincanton. Beaten 6 lengths by Emma Lavelle's Claret Cloak who subsequently ran 2nd in a listed bumper at Cheltenham. 3rd in the point was Western Kate who looks dodgy as **** but we'll ignore that one I think :)

    Nemi looks interesting as well - just a couple of lengths behind the prolific Sir Johnson on debut <ok>

    I'd prefer both of those to the fav who looks very short

    He isn't that far ahead on adjusted ratings when taking penalties into account, he certainly isn't a 1/2 shot on handicap marks.

    As we seem to be looking at the 815 Kemp, I shall row in with DELLS BREEZER at 33s with Boylesports EW. Has raced over an inadequate 5f last 2 runs and dropped down to a very workable 52 after running well over CD racing off 58, has the old AW king Ian Mongan up top so could run into a place or nick it in what is a dire race!!

    Nass: Take a look at that one in the 815, Pat Phelan's horse, they enjoy a tilt at the ring! Must have been messing about with him over 5f last twice! Far too big at 33s i reckon Dells Breezer.

    Love Sandown, one of my fav top 3, never been to Towcester but must be horses for courses so I would like it. What day are you going to the festival?
