We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Thurles 225
Goodbye Sam
To win by 7lengths.
Was a long way clear along with Billaway last time. Looked as though he’d have preferred to have raced in front of his stablemate and may be seen to better effect trying to dictate.
Unbackable at the odds but the distance bet at 4/6 slightly better.

Tough race to win but comes here on four wins from five all on turf but unexposed and no suprise if this goes well.

Kempton

SAIGON
Place.
Seven pockets and figures have collaborative form and look clear here but. Saigon is very well bred and has had wind surgery already and may be able to get amongst the pair.

Grand Revival
Each way
1.20
Limerick
On strength of beating sea Sessions early on, compares favourably with others who were beaten by same horse at a higher level….

[sporting sam]

The Mullins horse which came second looks supremely talented.
Needed the run and was not knocked about.
Calvados was unlucky falling when in contention but under pressure.
Grand Revival took advantage and ran on into third not long after commentator said he’d “cried enough” 3rd at 50/1.

[sporting sam]

Slightly more notice this time.

1.45

LUCKY TENNER
Win
Finished ahead of Bodhisattva last time and that one ran all over the opposition yesterday.
To be fair, this race looks more like a handicap than a maiden with jack in the box and pont DU gard running, but lucky tenners connections will have been boosted by Bodhisattva’s performance and at least comes into the race with a chance. Has it all to do here…..

Ar Mest
Was a good second two days ago at Newcastle in a class three.
Bangor 2.02
ANNTUNES
Win
Slammed that runner over two miles by 18 lengths.
Makes third run for Milton Harris
( left Skelton brothers) here and drops back down to winning trip. May well win here very easily if fully wound up.
Won off a ten pound higher mark in a class three last February.

[sporting sam]

Won by a very similar distance to last win in February 2021 on just third run for Milton Harris.
ANNTUNES won @ 6/1.
