Back at Kempton tonight with Thane of Cawdor. I wish I could say I was confident but he is such a difficult horse to place. Six time winner at Kempton, not won elsewhere, and AW horse. He is held up and needs a decent pace to come from the back. So often there is no pace in these mile and half races but tonight the apprentice has been told to just drop out ignore the others and flop around making move on outside as they come back into straight. Someone is backing him as he was 11's when I lumped on at 0900 now 6's. After Fast Dancer's disappointing run Saturday at Lingfield - even allowing for crap draw - need something better today!!
Florencio will run tomorrow in the 5:40 at Newmarket, 6f Rossdales class 2 handicap, 12 runners, hoping for no more rain to give him a good chance. A couple of the horses have had one run with winning debuts but all coming in class5, will the big step up be too much for them and although the handicapper hit Flo with a 6lb rise after his wolves win he wasn't fully fit he was never whipped and jockey reporting he still had more horse under him. Hopefully he gives another big run and gets the hat trick!!!!!!
You certainly couldn't wish for your trainer to be in better form Smiffy. Muir has 6 wins & 3 placed from his last 10 runners. By any standards that is amazing.
Cheers lads thank you, more overnight rain is a concern, the rails are being moved overnight to give fresh racing ground a decision will be made at 8:30 so fingers crossed he runs, we have nothing to lose, heard the fav Yattwee will probably be pulled.
Thanks everyone a big day out it is. No overnight rain going currently good to soft, good would of been perfect but we are gonna chance it and maybe complete the hat trick !!!!

Yes he did but the field wasn't very strong, I do rate his chances when he broke the track record at Chelmsford it was heavy rain and although it was the aw the conditions were sticky.

Didn't he win 6 lengths at Brighton on Gd/Sft !?
Timeform (more reliable than the official going) actually had it as soft. The second has been runner up again since whilst the third has won twice since at Southwell.
All interesting stuff. I do think he looks a decent e/w bet, particularly as most of the field lack a recent outing. But then again I am a terrible judge!
Good luck smiffy with your boy today and enjoy the good times. My two horses have run in the past 4 days...... Last and er Last. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Good luck.

Having said that, its best form is on fast going.
