Enrilo wandered at Newbury too.
Absolutely right to be kicked out too.

That is Sandown at the end of 3m5f.
How many times as right; Proud Tarquin, Cahervillahow, Givus A Buck and today
Tough on the moral winner but rules are rules and Sandown is Sandown.

I lost on the race but thoroughly enjoyed it. My top-rateds were based on cherry-picking and they haven't run to those figures but otherwise the right horses were there at the end.

I haven't studied the result in detail yet but I did have another look and decided my ratings for the Badger Ales were fine as they were.

It looks like the handicapper is taking a similar view.

The FPTP has only been raised 4lbs and Potterman just 1lb. They should remain competitive in the good handicaps next season although I'd imagine Enrilo and Kitty's Light will improve a fair bit again. There has to be a fair chance all three will target the Badger Ales again.
