2.15 Kangaroo Court 6/4 SJ bog 15 pts Good horse this one and can defy a penalty here. The NH market rival is respected and there is a fear about KC that he can pull far too hard and destroy his chances but to be fair he pulled hard on his only hurdle win so far and yet still won. His effort at asc afterwards was good behind karabak and in front of nice types like Somersby for example who reversed form in the supreme where KC could never land a blow. Nowhere near as competitive today and could go well. 2.50 Eradicate 11/8 spo 15 pts This one was a good sort on the flat for MJ and ran some good races at times. Over hurdles he initially looked a top recruit after a good win on his debut where he was visually impressive. After that he disappointed to lose when big odds on and didn’t run up to even the form of his first run. However to be fair the horse who beat him was still good on the flat (88 rated) and could turn out to be a good sort over hurdles as well and eradicate had to give weight to him. So perhaps it wasn’t that bad a run, third ran second afterwards too and eradicate could be worth another chance here. 4.00 Fair Point 15/8 sj bog 15 pts This one didn’t run a good race at chelt and there is a concern that this race could come too soon afterwards. However he wasn’t thrashed when beaten then and if in similar form to before that previous run then he is a danger. Was second to a sort I rate in hennessy who ran well enough at chelt and then got off the mark with a win on demanding ground at taun and beat a subsequent winner and a horse who has won two big ‘nationals’ since although didn’t run to form the day FP beat him. Nonetheless that was solid form and ground today isn’t an issue and he could go well as long as he isn’t feeling to strong affects.
