Quousko De L'Isop ran a completely different race to normal yesterday, and thankfully it paid off for a good place in a competitive handicap at Newbury (advised 28/1).  Normally sent out in front, and asked to hold on, he was instead held up in the pack, and stayed on gamely in the end to grab the 3rd place.  Freddie Brown ran a good enough race at Kelso, only finding one better.  The same, and more, could be said about Junior at Doncaster.  He had no luck at all.  In my opinion, had the leading horse (Pentiffic) stayed on his feet at the last, Junior would have won.  Instead, his fall hampered our selection, allowing the then 3rd placed Ikorodu Road to take advantage.  Pentiffic was already looking a beaten horse when he fell, and Junior failed by the shortest of margins to get back up and beat Ikorodu Road.  Exceptionally unlucky.
