Just the two meetings in the UK today, and Naas in Ireland.  I just watched the last race at Carlisle 3.10, the favourite River Glades unseated it’s rider 3 out, when a long way clear, leaving a group of horses all in a bunch, I was surprised on Brian Hughes ride on For Three, as he took a massive pull on the horse after jumping the third last and then subsequently seemed to think his mount would pick the leader up whenever he wanted as they approached the final flight, only to be beaten about a neck at the line. For me he dissapointed his horse, when he did the massive yank on the reigns at a crucial stage of the race, and I think it cost him the race.

Looking at the remaining races Gregarious 4.15 has found a weak race, if he comes back to anywhere near his best form, he will be hard to beat, Although I am not one to get heavily involved in backing horses off a few poor runs, so possibly an interest bet only if he is value in price, he is currently not great value at 6/5 !

More later.
