Very very good win for Kemboy there. Well done Archie
 
Well done Archie. I knew he was decent but not that decent. Good few days for SHR.
 
Really happy with that run from Bellshill too. Finished among the placed horses going 'left-handed' something he supposedly does not like, on seasonal debut too. Much to come from him this season I suspect.
 
Yeah Bellshill put the left-handed myth to bed.
 
Disappointing for Shattered Love, was watching on my phone and the stream was patchy, but didn’t see anything to explain it

Probably means Ryanair for her

Seems like she will need softer ground to be seen at best effect. Very disappointing, I've exited half my bet

**rewatching the race, once beat before the last Kennedy takes the gas off. Further hampered by Disko (RIP), it's not quite a sorry picture as last placed suggests

She’d have a fine chance going for the double in the JLT, but yes I do
 
Is Bellshill the eye-catcher from that? Ran a massive race for seasonal debut, and was the choice of Walsh so is obviously held in higher regard at home.

Kemboy will have been prime to the hilt for the Ladbrokes, so likely well ahead of Bellshill. Or was that win just too emphatic?

He's been high on my list all season, as per previous posts on this thread, and yes, today's run was definitely one to note, more so that it dispelled the left handed theory for him. Cheltenham will suit as he is a strong stayer, and today showed he does not lack the speed either, as he was, like so many of Ruby's rides, cruising into contention, before being done for what I would suspect would have been a lack of a run.
 
Just rewatched the race and outside of the winner I was impressed with Road to Respect, basically came to a stand still when stumbling on landing, lost his place and a number of lengths but still got up for third
 
Can someone refresh my memory, why didnt Bellshill run at last years meeting???

Was never going to threaten Kemboy and had his perfect ground. Can't see where any improvement would come from.
