Like Day 1, Wednesday's selections started well, with Harry The Viking 2nd, Simonsig winning at a canter, and Big Zeb 3rd.  However, from the moment Spirit River (18/1) fell at the last when going well, and looking nailed on for a place, things went down hill.  To rub salt in the wounds, Une Artiste who was tipped up here on his previous outing at Kempton, won the Fred Winter at a price of 40/1.  How sorry am I that he left my notebook after that previously disappointing run.
