Pertemps Final 2015

Also be careful with BS...although he has been very game in front for his last two victories he's somehow been allowed to steal easy leads at the tapes that have certainly helped him through his races. Although he may still of won both anyway I can't see the same thing occurring at the festival and I'm sure opposing jocks will be a little wiser to the plot now after being burnt twice

I am balls deep with Dawalan now. Not sure if its a good or bad thing before the weights. :(

I love Dawalan, he's far from the classiest but is more tenacious than a Jack Russell and I'm sure saves a bit for himself every single race!

Although he's going to take a hike in the weights for his last two wins, you know if he doesn't land the hatrick it won't be for not trying so I'm sure you're certainly not without hope although he's going to have to shoulder some weight

He seemed to be going away from the others in his recent wins and I heard he likes good ground, so lets see what hes got.

He was heavely backed last year. I actually backed him @ 8/1 ap and went off very short from what I can remember.

I'm sure there is more under the bonnet as he was once held in ridiculously high regard at Seven Barrows. I'm not saying they don't now but there's plenty of competition to be the apple of henderson's eye over timber. Yet it seems they have finally worked out how to get the best out of this lad and I would not be surprised if he took this for them, assuming he's not totally up against it at the weights
 
Yes I was on about BS. I sure hope he runs!

Anyone think Join the Clan has a chance?

The step back up in trip seems to have done the trick as he was outpaced at chelts over shorter, though the last 2 wins came with claiming 10lbs. I think he will get found out stepping up in class. Though who knows..
 
Bear's Affair is likely to go for the Pertemps Final where he will have Freddie Mitchell claiming seven pounds off his back.

Dawalan

Dawalan is going for the Pertemps. We tried him over three miles at Musselburgh on good ground and he probably won a bit too impressively. He has been doing it well but both the step up in trip and running on good ground helped him. We will stick to the Pertemps but he is as high as he needs to be.

Music to my ears. I have backed them both for this race only. Thanks Hoof. :encouragement:
 
Should have weights later today.
