It isn't Barton Bank versus Jodami but not a bad entry.

It isn't Wayward Lad and Burrough Hill Lad either - plus the fences are a pale imitation of the big, black, stiff monsters they used to be, especially the ditch four out at the top of the home straight which Wayward Lad once stood off outside the wings of and landed halfway between it and the third last - but it's a decent enough entry.

I only ever attended this meeting once - I saw Cybrandian win it in 1987.

I was 5 years old i think I had a match bet with my mate, half a tub of stickle bricks against his Evel Knievel. Of course I was on Wayward lad and I'm still ashamed to say I think its the only bet I ever welched on.

Tbf, it sounds like a big bet for a five-year-old - no affordability checks back then, of course.

I bet Wayward Lad - I thought he was invincible over 3m on a park course and lethal round there, but Burrough Hill Lad was one Hell of a horse in his prime and I got that one wrong.

IIRC Burrough Hill Lad then went to Newbury and won the Hennessy under top weight, giving the useful Canny Danny something like 21lb and beating him comfortably.
 
You would think that Hewick will run here, followed by the George 6th in Dec. He looked nice on his return over hurdles the other day to dust him off
 
I was 21, I'd graduated from university back in June, spent the summer working at Raceform in Battersea and I was about a month into a job with the Racing & Football Outlook, while by then renting a truly lousy bedsit in Hackney - in my own way, I was living the dream too!
 
That Charlie Hall did look a pretty well-run race. I didn't have a bet in it. I did toy with the idea of backing Djelo but shat it because I rate it as about as consistent as school dinners custard.

Pleased for you, Outsider :cheers:
