5.30 Kempton
Whipphound 2pt win 8/1
One of my colleagues put Whipphound up on his return to
action, at Kempton last month as a value bet, on the basis of him being well
handicapped, and the Mark Brisbourne stable returning to form after a quite
spell.
That day he was a bit disappointing, but I put that down to
Shane Kelly sitting too close to the pace.
He seems a horse that is best coming from off a strong pace, with one
sweeping run.
This was how he was ridden last time, and he shaped as
though he would have gone very close if his run wasn’t stopped at a crucial
stage. He travelled like a horse ahead
of his mark that day, and ran on like a horse who’s on good terms with
himself. He has been dropped a further
3lbs on the back of that run, and as long as there is a bit of pace on early, I
can see him going very well.
