There is not a lot to be said about today’s selection, Round the Horn, who simply wasn’t good enough…
I think that maybe I got carried away with his trainer – take him away and the horse would not have had the same appeal.
Perhaps he would have got away with it against weaker opposition – but his opponents today just had a bit too much class for him…
Ultimately, it was Shaking Hands who handled the conditions best and stuck on gamely in the closing stages. However, Miko De Beauchenre travelled through the race with some purpose and clearly retains sufficient ability to win a similar contest.
He could be interesting next time – provided today’s race hasn’t left its mark…
In the finale Sweet Like You ran on to take second behind easy winner, Tonvadosa.
There is always a danger, in those kind of races, that you will bump into one – and Tonvadosa certainly looked like she had above average ability, as she powered home through the Towcester mud…
Lets hope things improve a little tomorrow – though the way the weather is at the moment, I wouldn’t want to bet on that happening…
