Taken on for the lead, got racing too far out and was spent 1f out.Got some 10.5 Silver State (15:05 Hay) at 10:08 (going for a hat-trick), laid half off at 6.6 at 10:43. Was 3/1 Fav last night.
When he won at Donc LTO, they were already pushing along 3f out; could still be ahead of the handicapper. Stall 8 is the possible stumbling block.
Runs tomorrow at Ripon with Allan riding. Not for me from stall 9, plenty to go wrong for a horse that needs everything to fall right.Just watching replays. Is there a more promising but difficult to win with horse than Barley?
