Annabel Murphy hasn't had a winner on the flat this year but did manage a 40/1 winner of a NHF race last month and had a Hd 2nd last week with Todd at 12/1. Anyway takes the long journey to Brighton tonight with Kakapuka, i find it quite odd that a horse that has performed generally better on GF turf than the AW surface doesn't race more often on fast turf ground. Has a lifetime record of 31142313 in June which becomes 142313 over 7fs in June on G-GF ground. Booked Robert Winston to ride for 1st time and remember it was backed 2 outings ago at Kempton when 2nd after a poor spell. Gets in from its lowest mark tonight and think prefers to run from the front. New Rich looks the obvious danger having finished 3 lengths in front of him at Leicester but they went a very strong pace in that race, hopefully Kakapuka can lead at a slightly more subdued pace and can hopefully hold off New Rich at the line. Will do a little R/F as well.
You don't think Winston mistook the 1 furlong post for the winning line I remembers years ago he fell off a horse at the start, I think they explained it as tired and emotional
