Absolutely hurled in on old form...

When's he going to congratulate Holty for tipping it up?

Plus the change of stable .... ;)

Yes, GEORGE - But it ties in totally with their assessment of the race - as below.

I can see where they get the figure from - it happens in these type of races year in year out - but is always open to some question, as many such 'sufferers' often fail to run to these marks subsequently....

On the other hand - it was beaten only 14 lengths. :)

The Official handicapper has taken the view the the runner-up Get Me Out Of Here ran exactly to it's mark of 150, having been raised 15 lb for previously winning the valuable Totesport Trophy Handicap at Newbury.

Thanks, onlooker.

When I noticed its raised mark, I remembered your famous thread about Diavoleria and how Easterby had **ed up" its mark.

Hollins may not now be able to win a handicap, but at least they had a good day out at the festival!
