There’s no racecourse evidence that Santini prefers better ground as he has only run on soft and heavy.
Very true Mike but his action, Sire Milan and trainer all indicate that this will be the case. He’s a very good hoss that’ll go on any ground, but could be even better on GS.
He’s short for the RSA now, but it’s earned IMO.
Feltham at Kempton is looking a cracker with him, La Bague Au Roi & Topofthegame all looking like going.
16/1 TWE looks big after today. Loads of enthusiasm for fencing, which is uncommon in novices and that in itself will stand him in good stead in March. I’ve bet accordingly.
TWE better off in the 4 miler, I don’t give him a hope of winning this unless the race cuts up.
What was Heskin’s last ride for George ? He hasn’t ridden for him for at least two weeks

So no ride for his most consistent employer for almost a month prior to the injury. Hmmmm.Yes, NH – it’ll be interesting to see if some continue to question the ability of a horse now 4 from 5 over fences
Ok Corral ran today at Plumpton. A horse i thought may be one to pose a threat to Santini come March. However, after today I’m firmly of the belief he wouldn’t get close. To my (very untrained) eye, he looked to be unnatural at the vast majority of his fences, stuttering in, landing very steeply, therefore losing lengths at most fences. I’m not sure how he’d fare when his jumping gets put under more pressure.
To be fair after his mistake, he did improve jumping wise, Geraghty picked up the pace, so perhaps he’ll improve in a better run race?
Anyway, yet another threat down for the monster that is Santini…
OK Corral is by Mahler, which gives him as much chance of winning the RSA as a miler.
