Well, we had the biggest shock result of the 21st century so far with 1/14 shot Zaynar turned over at Kelso. The winner, Quetwo, a massive individual that will be better still once he goes over fences, is a horse I have always liked and is certainly going to be one to follow next season. The defeat of Zaynar, and the news that Binocular (PICTURED BELOW) will miss the rest of the season has led to more support for the Irish Champion Hurdle hopefuls Solwhit and Go Native. Not long to the Festival now!
We had some joy with last night’s tips with both the Clonmel selections coming in and Tara Taylor winning at Ffos Las at 11/2.
Looking for a bit of value at Sandown tomorrow Isn’t That Lucky could run well at a decent price in the 2.45. He acts on the going, the stable are in form, he is a course winner and he has just come down the weights a little bit. In the 3.55 it’s hard to oppose the unbeaten Oscar Whisky.
My only selection at Fakenham is Etoile D’Or in the 2.05.
My thanks to the artist Sarah Clegg for use of the picture of Binocular.
