A good days racing yesterday at Guernsey races (L’Ancresse).  Three winners for David Evans and two for Mick Appleby, only 5 races on the day so it was a clean sweep for UK trained horses. The track is very sharp, right handed over about 7f, you need a strong traveller, who likes fast ground !

Hopefully followers may of had the forecast yesterday at Kempton 2.55 , it paid just over 5/1 so that was good. I hope my other selection Tommy Silver is going to be ok, he jumped the fourth last with a good lead, but was pulled up quickly soon after.  He looked as though he may of injured himself behind, fingers crossed it is a “knock” or muscle injury only.

Todays jump meeting at Exeter has small fields, the ground is on the quick side.  If Story Of Friends acts ok on it, he could well win the last race at 8.20.  Of rivals, Mario De Pail, was well backed on his first run when 3rd at Plumpton, he should progress from that run.  A lot of unraced horses in the line up, who may be useful, so it is interest betting only.  Darcy Ward jumped well on his first run over fences over course and distance last time, he should be ok on the ground, and will be hard to beat again in the 7.20.  His threat is Triple Chief, who has no weight on his back, but will not like the ground as much as Darcy Ward.
