Having backed Inghwung (admittedly only to the tune of a tenner each-way) to beat the Gary Moore favourite I presume you’re alluding to I can’t agree, in this instance, that the result is anything other than fair. Lupanar had run well on his British debut, but won an appalling race (runner-up rated 94) next time out and did so less than comfortably.
As it happens he’s run quite well this afternoon after being hopelessly outclassed at Aintree, and should score next time if his sights aren’t set too high.
I’m actually quite annoyed I missed the bumper after his promising debut, especially in a race full of newcomers, but as I was collecting my winnings on Blazing Bailey at the time I’ll forgive myself this once.
You have to admire a man that can incorporate winners in two different countries into a single post.
Good to see you getting your unfortunate forecast losses back.

What can I say…I’m gifted.
That said I think I should apologise for the remark I made the other day, AP. I won’t go into any specifics but I’d had an ‘iffy’ day and probably read something into your post which wasn’t there.
So again, I offer my apologies.
wtf De Giles was doing on that favourite is anyone’s guess. A winner waiting to happen if ever there was one (and provided the rough race has not left any mental scars).
Have to agree with you there, that’s as poor a ride as I’ve seen for a while. The horse ran a bit green without a doubt, but I think if Mick Fitz would have been in the saddle it would have won by 10 lengths+.
Also, for another yard capable of producing strange results see Dandy Nicholls and the 6.05 at Southwell.
Short-priced Nicholls favourite, ridden by his lad, and you’re surprised it was beaten…? That said, Fire Up The Band hasn’t looked the most resolute in recent outings.
It wasn’t the fact it was beaten, it was the fact that the winner was from the Nicholls stable and was 33/1 and won a shade cosy IMO.
I didn’t realise the winner was a stablemate of the favourite, but it does go some way to making it all the less surprising…but I guess those who needed to know, did.
