A good day at Kelso with Sounds Russian winning the big race on the day. He has gone up 7lb and may find life tougher but we don’t really know how good he is. Edmond Dantes ran a good race and was not beaten far. Silver Coin had a tough time in a rough race but this was a better performance.
Tomorrow we head to Newmarket with Flint Hill in a tough looking handicap. If the ground dries up further it would suit him. Newmarket is a tough track, albeit not as tough as Pontefract, and hopefully he will put up a bold show. Autumn Return runs at Wetherby on Saturday. Her mares allowance negates the penalty for winning and the track, trip and ground should suit.
