It is a no bet race but I would like to see Kalif Du Berlais win. I had high hopes for him at the start of the season and would like to see him get back on track.
Perhaps his effort at Exeter looks slightly less disappointing now and the Nicholls team appears to be in better form, so there are reasons to be optimistic.
It would be bitterly disappointing if Kalif Du Berlais couldn’t beat this lot. He’s top rated (albeit only by a pound from Master Chewy, from whom he receives three pounds) on official ratings and at least three years younger than each of his rivals. Edwardstone is way past his past, Boomtown is very hit-and-miss and has a highest winning mark of just 135 (yes, it isn’t a handicap today but that number shows just how much he has to find), while Master Chewy has only ever won three times (all over two miles) and has to shoulder the aforementioned penalty.
If Kalif Du Berlais has any pretensions to being a genuine Grade One horse, he has to win this but it’s a no-bet race for me.
The favourite is priced up on possible potential who was dreadful last time out, Boombawn 7-2.
The more I know the less I understand.
I can’t believe I’m backing 12 year old Edwardstone, but 4/1 WIN was tempting enough for me, especially after Alan King had two winners on today’s card.
Well, it’s wonderful to see Edwardstone back in the winner’s enclosure and looking so well and enthusiastic during the race, but horrendous to see the injury to Kalif Du Berlais.
That’s just horrid.
Haven’t watched a replay but did Cobden ask him for that crazy leap ?
Just catching up with results, sorry to see this news and about Harry Derham’s youngster.
Can’t help feeling 12yo Edwardstone will be retired now, after a win in those sad circumstances. Yes or No?
