    Not a race I usually have an interest in but I’m drawn to Clive Cox’s
    Redemption Time at 33s with Bet365. He was very green in his original
    Maiden when beaten by Holguin, a runner up next time to Persian Force
    who had already won impressively at Doncaster.

    Second time out he was beaten by a Kingman colt, Noble style who’s
    only had the 1 run, but looked very decent and has an entry in the
    Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. James Doyle thought he
    was very promising. It didn’t do the form any harm that the 2nd that
    day, Walbank, scooted up at 2/7 by 7L next time out at York.

    Looked to have got the hang of it next time out at Bath where he
    was an odds on winner. I like Clive Cox as a trainer of sprinters,
    he doesn’t tilt at windmills and this one looks to be going the right
    way.

    Until I’ve seen the effect of the draw there’s Norfolking (sorry, I’ll fetch me coat) chance of me having an opinion on this.

    That’s no doubt more sensible than me Ian. I’ll hope against hope
    that the cards fall well.

    Green, I’m with you on both of them. Interesting that Daniel Tudhope opted for Thunder Moon after having won quite impressively on Pillow Talk. The other interesting runner is Michael Bell’s Brave Nation who’s been kept fresh for this race.

    I think Walbank will be hard to beat so went for him.

    Taking a chance on Jungle Fever (each-way) to, possibly, spring a shock.

    Should (not saying he will) should lose that race for deliberate interference.

    Brave Nation was badly interfered with there. Hanagan was poor.

    On head on knew he was interfering with another horses but still kept on whipping with the wrong hand.

    Dangerous and lucky nothing fell.

    Should be chucked but won’t be

    In America the stewards would last 30 seconds then he’d be gone

    Over here he keeps it 99 times out of 100

    The rules are ridiculous

    The winner has badly impeded 4 horses

    He’s negatively effected their performance and should be disqualified

    The benefit of the doubt shouldn’t go to the horse that did the impeding imo

    I would agree with that here FF91. Jockey caused carnage. Also when a jockey straightens a horse the momentum of that horse is halted, and Brave Nation was making his run. The decision/rule that the result wasn’t affected imo is a bit flawed.

    Agreed FF :good:
    What on earth are the stewards on that was so blatant. Paul Hanagan looked desperate to get him home with no consideraton for the safety of the other horses; Brave Nation could have gone down and injured himself.
    Hope he gets s long holiday for that.
