I must say I was absolutely gutted Starclass was withdrawn last night. Having seen the way the race panned out, and analysed the form, I'm quite sure she would have won. She certainly had the beating of Circus Girl, and the newcomers weren't up to much just as I thought. So just a non-runner to start the week.
Two bets today.
2.50 Kempton Aultcharn 3pts win @ 6/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Represents Brian Meehan whose stable seems to be coming alive after starting the season 0-17. Had a 3yo winner on Saturday, and an impressive handicap winner that evening, as well as a few decent placed efforts. Aultcharn turns up for his third run today after two runs at Newbury, a track where Meehan tends to send his better 2yo's. He has also placed him encouragingly today, this is a half decent maiden and if this fella was rubbish he'd be running in a tin pot event at Catterick or Leicester.
Aultcharn was green on his debut but turned in a really eye catching effort on his second run. On really soft ground, he made all as far as the two furlong pole without so much as coming off the bridle against some very good horses, before giving way to an OR 90+ horse of Godolphins. Some Kyllachys do like the soft ground but I don't think this fella got home on it. He faded at the furlong pole and was beaten ten lengths at the finish, with a few horses staying on late through the faders to nab places. Interestingly, Roger Charlton's Sea Of Heartbreak also travelled well on the speed that day and faded; she followed up by winning a maiden at Wolves next time out. Aultcharn showed far more potential at Newbury that day, and I'd be surprised if he is not an 80+ horse at least. Providing he has trained on, he can win here getting some decent weight for age from the favourite.
3.45 Wolves Uncle Keef 5pts win @ 2/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Worst kept secret of the day but 2/1 remains just about fair. Uncle Keef ran an interesting race last time at Folkstone, losing his place before staying on again over 12 furlongs. His stamina laden pedigree demands this step up to 16 furlongs and he looks very well handicapped today if the potential of his last run is to be believed. He cost a few bob and should be a lot better than a 60 rated horse. George Baker takes over from Katia Scallan, and a win looks on the cards.
