Kempton 19/10/08

Decent card. Champion hurdler in action :ok 2.50 Greenbridge 2/1 var bog 15 pts Decent novice contest this one. Imsingingtheblues was a useful hurdler at times and could end up a decent chaser but I give preference to Greenbridge. Actually on hurdle rating between the two there is precious little in it but I just felt that towards the end of last season, Greenbridge really was developing into a classy horse and at a quick rate. He won two novice hurdles races in good style and the last win at this course was so impressive, won by 40 lengths. Not totally surprsingly after that, he was moved up to grade 1 level and finished midfield but that far from tells the whole story. He was travelling well at aintr. before a mistake 3 out that cost all momentum and virtually ended his challenge; so he is better than that result suggests. He has a chasing background in his family so no surprise to see him go over fences and as a scopey sort he could do well starting today at kem.

Re: Kempton 19/10/08 Kempton 4.00 Sou'wester - there was no stopping him earlier in the year when he racked up a four timer in chases, rising over two stone in the weights in the process. He's now 12 lbs above his last winning mark and although he pulled up at Cheltenham yesterday off his current mark of 141, this looks an easier race than yesterday. If all was not well with him then you think they would have withdrawn him by now. The trip is perfect, the going won't cause any problems and he is my bet against the Nicholls runner who has been running and winning over further and Jazz Dance, who seems like he saves himself for Southwell. 11/2
