"2:45 Bangor, 28/11/2015 analysis.
This was weak and with the strongly backed favourite running well below expectations, it´s hard to get overly excited. The first two home pulled well clear, however." Race was won by the strongly backed favourite! |

Goodbye Dancer, making a quick reappearance following his easy Leicester win two days earlier, was well in touch and moving easily when crashing out at the eighth. It remains to be seen if his confidence has been effected. [Marcus Buckland]
Nice to know MB knows the difference between "effected" and "affected".  |

Thinger Licht, pulled up when last seen in 2014, was full of himself for a long way and only found the winner too sharp. He could have really done without the rain and should be up to defying a rise now he´s back up and running.
We'll ignore those runs and wins last year. |

SILVINIACO CONTI, pulled up when bidding to win a third straight King George, has had his soft palate cauterised since and was sporting first-time blinkers on this drop in trip. He was always going to struggle to lead with the third in opposition, but was content to sit just off him and he could be called the likely winner a long way from the finish, drawing right away down the straight. This was very much a return to something like his best form and the Grand National may well be next. He isn´t the biggest, but has the class and stamina and likes Aintree, so could run a massive race there.
Have they moved the National to the Mildmay course please? Utterly puerile stuff from the Post again unless of course they think the horse benefits from the Liverpool air. |

MR MOONSHINE powered clear for a surprise success. The veteran had been pulled up on his last three outings over hurdles, but is very much at home when mud is flying and that counted for plenty
------------ Last three outings, - where he was Pulled Up, each time - were all CHASES. He has never been, "pulled up over hurdles." |

I was quite impressed by the analysis of the 6.35 at Dundalk last Friday, how someone could mention 6 of the 11 runners but somehow fail to miss the bleedin' obvious.
 |
|
By:
Did they mention M Halford 1st string
 |
|
By:
Yes, he pointed that one out Virgin, which makes it all the more 'amazing' that he managed to miss the one that was stopped twice in its run when trying to challenge
|
|
By:
I can't remember the card or the result but I saw one recently that 'mentioned' and gave 4 of the 6 runners a chance

the Stormbound Course win is possibly to do with surface change in 2014..still a course win is a course win..

WILL O´THE WEST was returning from a six-week break. He had consistent form on soft, including over this C&D, which had been franked by his conquerors in Grade 2 company. The son of Westerner had to be driven to get into contention down the back but came out well on top in this war of attrition once the leader excited at the top of the straight. He should get much further and jump a fence in time.

Is the new stand ready?
It is, very much so. In contrast to many construction projects the 6,000+ capacity stand was completed within its £45m budget and, after 18 months of work, ahead of the planned schedule so it's been in use since the autumn. BBC website. Ye Gods. |

TFW your stewards ban a rider for not battering a Gold Cup hero into third at Carlisle @BHAPressOffice
You could be forgiven for thinking that this was tweeted by some 'animal rights' nutjob, but it was actually tweeted by a Racing Post journalist called Tom Kerr. Nowhere in the rules of racing does it state horses should be "battered", however, jockeys are required to take all permissible measures to obtain the best finishing position, which in this case would have meant pushing the horse out to the line and not appearing to stop riding on the run-in. Tbf to Sam, he did start pushing again when he realised he was being closed down for 3rd. The vet found no abnormalities or welfare issue with the horse post race. This follows on from the 'comment' in the Racing Post on Monday from Colin Russell, who opined: the rider stopped riding, but didn't ease down |

By:
By the way, would someone be kind enough to tell me what TFW stands for in this instance?

Knight Bachelor, with cheekpieces added to a tingue tie, attracted support and has evidently benefited from a recent break as this was a lot more like it. He needs a sound surface to shine and, entitled to come on for it, should be well up to defying a small rise this summer.
