By Michael Robson - 20 minutes agoMichael RobsonLATEST Kelso latest: Delire should make most of drop in class Delire D'Estruval looks banker material in the 2.10. He is by far the best of these on official ratings and was simply out of his depth at Cheltenham. He's not wrong .....Only runner with a rating  |

Two lovely examples from the hard copy of The Rancid today ~
Huff and Puff, only nudged up 2lb despite winning his last two starts, done well considering he made an mistake The Last But One .....it is hoped his confidence isn’t effected by this unfortunate fall |

Tripe course winner; yet to strike form this season but dropped in class today. |

Many possibilities for the label of a 'tripe course'.

The spotlight for the 6.00 Killarney, Johnny Ward writes that Great Grey ended his stable's "spell in the doldrums" when winning at Tipperary.
Presumably, Ward is confusing Luke W Comer with Luke Comer, because had he bothered to have read his own paper's analysis of the Tipperary race and the quote from the trainer, he would have been aware that Luke W Comer had only taken out a licence in April and Great Grey was only his "6th or 7th" runner. |
|
By:
I don't know what the set up is, or even if they train out of the same yard, but as Luke Comer is still having runners, it presumably isn't a case of Luke W having taken over the licence, so can't be classed as one and the same.

"It's great to get the old job going," said Williams. "The BHA has had a brutal job but it's excelled. For us, it's a case of getting there and it's nice to be busy again."
From the RP website. Lovely to see an "it's" as opposed to "its" getting another outing as the jumps recommences. |

Analysis
My Ratings Past Winners Add 19yds. The first pair came right away in this fair little novice handicap. GETAWAY TRUMP responded gamely when asked for everything after the last and just did enough to master the runner-up. He disappointed back chasing on his seasonal debut at Fontwell 19 days earlier. However, that was his first run since undergoing wind surgery and he'd clearly come on a lot as he travelled smoothly into contention here. The 7yo is smart at best and can make the grade over fences, although perhaps a stiffer test will prove ideal going forward. Zoffee ran a big race on this introduction to chasing and just failed to see off a rival he was 9lb badly off with on official figures. The versatile 4yo is such an honest galloper and is obviously up to winning races over fences this season. He too may get a little further now. Trincomalee loves this venue although his novice win here came over further on easier ground, so it wasn't a surprise to see him get tapped for toe on this chasing debut. He's bred to make his mark over fences and should learn a lot. Golden Taipan, happiest on good ground, jumped well enough on this chasing debut. However, he fell in a hole nearing the penultimate fence and perhaps needed the run having undergone wind surgery during the summer. [David Orton] |

Jinked left start and unseated rider (was unseated shortly after the start was affected). -------- NO - after the start was Effected In this instance - the start was Effected .... had Happened - and - the start was (NOT)affected ... because ... After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no other horse or rider was involved, and that the incident was accidental and caused by the mare jinking left shortly after the tape went back |

parispike -
There was - and still is - an Error from well over a week ago - that I highlighted - and explained - on here. I will bring that back - probably when the horses involved next run - to add to their embarrassment ... - although - on all known Form - it will be 'water off a duck's back' 'ignorance is bliss' - so they say. |

But as we're on this thread, I will pick up on something and it's the RP homepage, which has "Today's Highlights" as one of its headers.
This seems totally inappropriate when there is a sad news story being reported underneath. |

They've surpassed themselves today by, under the heading "TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS" announcing "Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, dies aged 99"
Highlights? |

This one from the ATR website
Winless since early 2020 and out of sorts since the turn of the year, well below best in pair of Plumpton handicaps (at up to 19.7f). May of needed Ludlow hurdles run on back of wind op 5 weeks ago and betting may prove a good guide. "May of". Ye Gods. |

From Timeform comments on ATR site
ightly raced since winning 2 novice chases in late-2020 but proved he retains plenty of ability when runner-up behind Gold Des Bois on return in Kelso handicap (17f) last month, possible he'd of won if asked for his effort sooner. 3 lb better off with that rival here. "He'd of won", Ye Gods |

another from today's - attheraces website
'She has won three times from 5f to 1m on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Arividicio at 50-1fav when eighth of 13 on her latest outing here over 7f (good) last month.' ----------- Not even a typo for, say, 5-1 fav ... as the horse's SP was actually - 33/1. |
