The first four...Well, so much for the statistics... The first four home all carried eleven stone four or more, with only six finishing on the extremely testing ground. High Chimes (5/1) looked threatening momentarily but flattered to deceive and was pulled up before the seventeenth. Kilbeggan Blade's jumping was disappointing, going to his right on occasions; he was struggling a long way out and was pulled up. The race will be remembered as much for McCoy's crashing fall from Arnold Layne (3/1 favourite) as D'Argent's 18/1 victory. This evening McCoy is described as 'stable' in Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry.<BR/>Beforehand the Leamington Novices' Hurdle looked like a race which could suit a front runner; those duties were undertaken with relish by 8/1 chance Carruthers (rather than Just A Thought); he slipped his field down the back straight and won unchallenged, Mattie Batchelor doing the steering.<BR/>Both Kempton selections won, Zanir at a generous looking 3/1 in the opener while Nycteos (backed in to 7/4 favouritism) took the Lanzarote from 33/1 shot Kawagino.GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
