A good week to retrieve the dent that last weeks patent put into the blog.
On Friday Awsaal who ran a fair race at Royal Ascot on soft ground previously kept up the good record John Dunlop has at York when obliging at 14/1 and was well supported finishing at 6/1 SP.
A welcome return of 18.8 points.
Waldvogel drifted out to 25/1 but put in a very good effort to chase down Awsaal and the result would have been better here if he had but can't complain ! He returned 6 points for the place.
On Saturday Al Khaleej ran fairly well in 9th and looks worth keeping in mind for a similar race in the future probably with a little more juice in the ground. The other selection Shamandar ran down the field.
Constant Contact finished 7th at York, a creditable run but not enough to make a return. Could see him going back to 8f and feel he could win again.
