Uttoxeter - 27/11/08

[WoodyTHFC]

2.30 Iwillrememberyou 15 pts Was a progressive horse last season over hurdles (improved over 50 pounds), won 4 times including 3 on the trot and showed plenty of stamina in these type of condtions which is forecast for tomorrow. I thought on his chasing debut he showed some promise given that he probably wasnt really bang on for that run and that he looks certain to improve for it. He ended up third and one could point out that the second who was a bit of a way clear, disappointed afterwards. However I still think it was an encouraging enough debut in terms that there should be lots of improvement afterwards. Another one with a similar type of profile is camden george who made a similar type of chasing debut but I have a couple of concerns if it turned into a real staying contest for that one and also over the possible 'bounce factor' given that he was off for 18 months before his last effort. I can see this turing into a real test and that should suit a fitter iwillrememberyou.

Starburst Diamond last ran 24 days ago (4^th) at Warwick getting beat by winner Officier De Reserve by 11½L. Likes the ground soft and won at this distance in the past. Could put in a big run with Jack Doyle offsetting the penalty by 3lbs.

Cast Cada should improve for last run and step up back to 3 miles should be perfect. Ground is about right and could go for a place at least.

Comhla Ri Coig has only the one run over hurdles with it coming 19 days ago where he finished 3 at Kelso. Will stay the distance and if the pace isn’t fast he could have a good chance.

Gypsy George is a course & distance winner who is a chase horse though drops back to hurdles for the 1^st time. Won a class 2 chase lto here at Uttoxeter off a mark of 127. Has bags of ability if he takes to the hurdles and should be in good form despite a break of 208 days.

Suggestion:

Comhla Ri Coig – E/W @ 8/1 RPF
