Kempton (Thursday) 20:20, Samarkand 8/1 (365)

Any reason we should back this or is it just a bit big on oddschecker?

Can see why  you like it,impressive over course trip,and will take all the beating(not with a whip). That said johnny G decided to fit the  blinkers on Unex Renoir so expect a much improved performance(or not?) and gets my vote.

Thats better m j a reason.

Great shoout again, the price is about to go.

Look out, avalanche!!!



'The Weasel' knew, again!!!

Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Nice one - you are very well informed.

good luck there skint. havent done this race myself as i had info for quite a few in this which did include samarkand who has worked very well recently. however i was also told alshazah is strongly fancied by connections whilst i know robin hoods bay is also very well and the form of that ones last win when beating area 51 got a boost when that one hosed up at nottingham recently. so i have left the race alone.

You knew what? That it was trading at below 8/1 on here when you started the thread? Incred

SAMARKAND (Kempton 8.20) was a really impressive winner over Kempton's 1m4f trip back in June, especially as he raced at least three wide almost throughout, surging clear in the final furlong. He didn't give his running at Ripon next time, but was presumably amiss (trainer's representative also reported that he was unsuited by the ground and the track). He'll stay further, but is clearly capable of proving effective over this course and distance and looks the type to have plenty more progress in him, so he's taken to make a winning return after his break. Alshazah is an interesting opponent having won in really good style (and in a good time) on his latest start here, but there is a definite concern that his stable, which has been in such excellent form all year, has gone off the boil slightly of late.

Who wrote that, lazarus?

Hugh!

Ta

Mr Taylor ATR

I'd have thought that if Hugh tipped this it would drift in price.

What line of thought has lead to that conclusion BG?

Hadn't gotten round to reading Hugh's column yet, Martyn, and for a split-second I thought you had written it yourself

I do know that Robin Hoods Bay is strongly fancied in this race

I am lazarus2.

a sacked teacher couldnt write that

His recent form, mfraudy,not saying it wont win mind.

I am lazarus2 - surely this is a long-term rather than a short-term pursuit?

why has poorpup left you?

I like

Lhermitage / Plattsburgh / Val Ohara

nothing matched yet though
