RP NH Stable Tours

[Gerald]

Hi

I hope you all realise that I would have bought the Racing Post on Monday, but it was sold out in my local newsagents when I was let loose after work, presumably because of the Stable Tours pullout. (It is usually available in both shops all day.) So its not as if I’m asking for free info because I was too stingy to spend £1.60

I just want to know what Evan Williams said about High Chimes and Silverburn, and what Alan King said about Old Benny.

Verbatim please.

Thankyou[/color:1qwac2ip]

(I already know that Williams said that State Of Play would be aimed at the National, as the price went from 50 to 26 – rather strange as that was announced several months ago anyway.)

Old Benny

: missed last season after getting injured in a field… big and backward… first aim is Welsh National, so hope to have him ready to run end of Nov/start of Dec… doesn’t over-exert himself at home, so could be ring-rusty… later on, Grand National might come into consideration – he’s been dropped to mark of 135 following year off.

Silverburn

: a very interesting recruit… classy on his day for Nicholls… disappointing after Paddy Power, but might be well handicapped now… shows plenty in his work at home, and we may just try something different… it won’t be a big handicap straight away, instead we might go over hurdles.

High Chimes

: really thought he’d win Welsh National after solid Hennessy run but cut himself during race and disappointed… great effort under top weight in Kim Muir… might start him off in novice hurdle just to try to get his head in front, then back to long-distance handicap chases.

Cheers my dear.
