How significant is it that Don McCain sends 2 horses to Ayr when there is a full card on just 13 miles away in Bangor?

1.10 Lough Derg Jewel 11/1
2.15 Rolling Thunder 7/2

Going to be a long drive home .......................
 
One last one for me today and probably my favoured of the day currently around 7s , kempton 455 burning thread gets a decent 7lb claimer in David egan. Burning looks on a nice mark going into this after taking the claim into account , there is the cd win to go on aswell but the draw looks to persuade me even more.
 
FLIGHTY FILIA 40/1 EXETER 3.40
Now, I dont think this will win. However, in a race seriously lacking in quality I do think it is worth a bob or two each way.
She was a winner on the all weather for Amanda Perratt so she isnt devoid of ability.
Her hurdles debut here was in a class 3 so she has dropped a grade here. She is also now in a mares race which are often weaker. She steps up a couple of furlongs and that too will help. Her debut run looked little more than a school and she can be expected to improve, the trainers daughter takes off a handy 7lbs.

BOOOMMMM 40/1 second. Take that to the bank of Stick!
 
I must say I am really enjoying seeing the resurgence of the Jefferson yard. They are bang in form!
 
T George and A Heskin have been banging in the winners of late and have the outsider here at 20/1. Willing to give it a go here.
 
CAPE CRUISER 20/1 Kempton 5.25
Interesting runner with winners in the family. Made his debut last month in a Windsor maiden that is working out very well. The two just in front of him have been out since and been first and second despite being well beaten on debut. Another from the race has also won since. Cape Cruiser was never really in it and Fran Berry gave him a cozy little education even changing his whip hand at least twice without actually hitting him. He stayed on well enough despite rolling away from the rails (normal at Windsor). He will know a heck of a lot more this time and his trainer Ralph Beckett does really well with his juveniles here. With the top rating in the race being 79 there is every chance that it will be won by a debutante or an improver, hopefully this improver!

Only fifth but was last turning in and made up acres of ground in the closing stages. I bet it comes back here in a fortnight and wins. Trackered.
 
Hello, all. Must confess there is one from the county that I seriously, and I do mean seriously, like tomorrow.

NEBULA STORM (7.55 Kempton Park) – this 9YO was claimed by current connections almost a year ago and has performed with credit since then as in 5 runs he’s won a handicap hurdle and been placed on a further 3 occasions. That final placing was on his first run on the level, for the Michael Blake barn, as Nebula Storm finished a highly respectable 3rd at Chepstow. That time the old boy was in front with a furlong to run before being run out of things in the final 100 yards. It really is, people, no coincidence that tomorrow he’s dropped in distance by a furlong to an ideal looking 1 mile 3 – the exact distance, incidentally, that Nebula Storm has won his last two races on the Flat (back in ’14 and ’15). At his pomp on the level he was rated as highly as 102 (largely due to finishing runner-up to Fame and Glory in Listed grade) but tomorrow runs off just 59, I say, 59. Has a lovely pedigree as well being a son of Galileo and a half-brother to a St Leger runner-up (The Last Drop) and the useful Ardlui (4 time winner and rated in the high 90’s). Tomorrow’s heat does look a competitive one but off the above mentioned 59 Nebula Storm should go close, methinks.

Good luck, pilgrims.

Abandon ship if you can SBC! A Blake horse gone from 8/1 out to a best priced 16/1 now...you don't need Shakespeare to help with this script.
 
If Konig Hall decides to run here he should go very close at 8/1 due off right now at Dundalk. Due to his temperament I've erred on the side of caution with the stakes.
 
At least he ran a bit tonight <laugh> Konig Hall is seriously well handicapped now but something has gone awry between the ears, once they get to the bottom of it he is going to win a race or two comfortably...without my cash I hasten to add.

:emoticon-0101-sadsm (for SBC). STH, even our quixotic and gallant knight has joined the forum's 'last place club' of which, sadly. I have been an active member over the years; it's not a nice feeling at all. The hoss stopped as though he had hit a wall. <whistle>
