After a bit of a barren spell I was glad to get back to winning ways at Taunton today with 2 winners from 2 selections. Vodka Brook is not over big for jumping fences but he has a fair level of ability and I feel he would still have won today even if his main rival in the race had not crashed out at the last.
King’s Legacy was having his first run since winning a bumper at Kempton over a year ago and is going the right way. He collared the long time leader Sir Kezbaah on the run in. The runner up was given a good ride by Edward Glassonbury. It was a good day for the Glassonbury family as Edward’s older brother Andrew won on Carrickmines at Ludlow.
Hopefully we can keep the winners flowing. At Doncaster tomorrow I fancy Alelgralil in the 3.10 and Alan Swinbank’s runner Royal Swain in the bumper at 5.25.
Miss Sarenne has disappointed over fences but should appreciate a return to the smaller obstacles in the Newbury 4.30.
