Has to give three pounds here. But is several pounds lower on ratings of best wins.
Wind surgery and the jockey Mulrenhan can make the difference.
WIN.
Venterous will push him all the way.

ONE HART
(to place )
Has been knocking on the door for some time and finally runs here off a low mark since winning at wolves off 79 in Feb last year.
Ran a decent race last time over the minimum trip and is likely to get very close. It is a big field though so the bet is for one hart to place and with five places available the favourite has every chance of being thereabouts. I’ve gone for just four places but the recommendation is to go five.
GEORGIO VASARI
Each way
Hit his lowest mark after scaling the maiden heights for Aidan O’Brien.
Two juvenile wins
Has yet to place in a multitude of runs since leaving Ballydoyle…..
Running off career low tonight.
Georgio vasari could pop up at a price one day if finding his mojo…..and goes from the box seat here.

After the lord mayor’s show again some good winners earlier but no joy this evening…..

EQUALLY FAST
Is a big drifter in this race.
He has a low draw and the first five stalls cover seven of the nine runners at the weights.
Three of them cover the three highest weighted positions too.
I’ve done a combination tricast using the five lowest drawn runners from stalls 1 to five.

Both winners of opposite divisions of the race last time.
Both scored well and difficult to say who was most impressive.
Both raised significantly for their wins.

LOUGHDERG ROCCO
Has made a very good impression in two runs so far.
Like whizz kid yesterday was pitched in at a very high level when put into a grade two on second run.
A winning pointer who beat Tim pat by 12 lengths between the flags. that one has recently won under rules.
One length second on debut to a horse who was not a long way behind constitution Hill next time out.
Has a great chance to win here off levels with main rivals. Stable flying with multiple winners.

Macloud was pulled up suddenly and hopefully his injury is not severe.
As anticipated a very comfortable win by the selection who was sent to get on top in very good fashion. Stayed on well when tackled and looks smart for future development.

Would be a suprise winner here given the course form of several runners. But could well come to hand here on a decent mark for top yard .

Brilliant riding by jockey of the winning horse in the hunter chase.
Did really well to get by the falling horse and despite being badly hampered took it in his stride and won easily.

TYRREAN SEA

Won impressively at Newcastle last time and may well head to Doncaster for the Lincoln after this.
Steps up in trip now and in truth is up against it against some decent sorts. Every chance if Roger Varian has placed him properly but faces a stiff task here and certainly not the best odds on runner today.

Ouch!!Adrian Du pont fell when under no pressure and tyrrean sea bullied out of it by more experienced horses…..

German flat winner belongs to Dan Skelton and has been hurdling so fitness no problem.
Gone to a yard capable of readying one and while the trip is a little short, no suprise if this one ran into a place.

A real result for the soul selection as the winner gets the job done at Kempton 7pm.

REBEL EARLY
Win
Has a very good chance of winning this beginners chase.
Distant third to Gin on lime behind star max was franked by the two runners placing in the same order next time out.
Hit a fence and effort tailed off in that race so may be able to do better now.
Gin on lime is now rated 143 and star max was rated 128 at the time. On bare translation could be able to run to 130 comfortably….
Will appreciate this soft going as all wins on soft and heavy.

RUDY CATRAIL
Each way
BEST IS WEST
Each way
Danny Mullins back on board and hoping for a good lead from RC.
Rudy hasn’t won for a long time but if given a free hand may well blaze a trail and be hard to catch. Back down to below two winning marks and gets suitable going. Best is west won this last year and appears to have been prepped for this with two runs in chases since January. Two chase runs after this last year ensure he goes off on a good mark similar to last year’s.
Both capable of bold shows.
Enduring love also has very strong claims given the defection of some key players, but it is proving very profitable indeed to watch these Irish races unfold and back horses in running…
