    In the Class-4 Handicap Chase at Hereford (14:50) over a distance just over 3m1f, am hoping for a good run from the Frennch-bred Kap Rock gelding, Felton Bellevue. Bred to stay, and should not be bothered by the heavy ground conditions. Bryan Carver rides for the Ben Case yard.
    10/1 available in three or four places, and is best price at time of writing. E/W best option at these odds.

    Agree on Stick, Pilgrim, and would add PrincessNewmarket, Nassau, too, and there are others who are well-connected. Not trying to be modest but I do have my fair share of 'blow-outs' (not good for an ex-oilman :emoticon-0100-smile). However, I try hard to work on the racing info. that is available to all of us, Racing Post excluded. I enjoy doing it, and the occasional winner is nice too!. Thank you for the kind words, anyway. <ok>

    I dont think you will be far of there Dynamite also stands out but the race in general should be close , too close for me. Good luck though

    I am an amateur in comparison to the other two names, but thank you for remembering me. My two selections today ran very poorly.

    Do you like Kap Rock as a sire then Swanny?

    I pay attention to all French-breds, Stick, when the going is on the very soft or heavy side. However, I must admit that I have not gone into any detailed examination of Kap Rock as a sire. I am guessing that you don't go much on him? When you are interested in the purchase of a racehorse for NH racing, what sires and damsires do you (and Nassau too) favour most of all?

    He buys whatever I tell him to. Although I’m going to be in his bad books when he looks at the full card.

    Had a quick look at Kap Rock's performance as a stallion, not bad at all. Importantly, he is a brother of the top French sire Kapguarde. Kap Rock stands at the Knockhouse Stud in Ireland.

    I only ask because there is one running in the Bangor bumper on Saturday, nudge nudge wink wink.

    I have a list of preferred sires, very few of who's progeny I can ever afford.
    My favourite for bumpers was Gold Well but sadly he did not have a very long career at stud.

    I’d quite like buy a horse by Geordieland, who had impressed me as a sire. Soldier Of Fortune and his half brother Affinisea are a pair I expect to have a good few bumper winners this season too.
