Wednesday Double...

Kempton 14:10 - Procas De Thaix
2m, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good to Soft

Nicky Henderson's inmate looks as though he could be a progressive type following his first couple of runs. Don't be put off by the 120 day absence as the trainer always gets them ready. A course and distance victory last time out and a very tidy run against Alan King's Theatre Girl makes this chestnut gelding one to be on your side today.
2nd 11/10f

Never really travelling and with vital mistakes at the 4th & 5th flights, Procas De Thiax ran on gamely but never troubled an impressive winner from the Alan King yard. Greenbridge ran on to score by a distance.


Kempton 15:50 - Pace Shot
2m 5f, Handicap Hurdle - Good to Soft

Well i don't know if you have noticed anything similar about today's selections yet but we are going for an owner double! Good luck to Mr Green and connections. Pace Shot has been running in some fine company this season and in fact all his life. 14 lengths 3rd to Backboard last time and 15 lengths behind Wingman the time before doesn't read too badly to me. Yes he has to prove that he really stays this trip but I thought he was staying on last time at Ascot and the course today will definately help. On the form book he has a great chance at what The Analyst thinks could be a nice price!
UP 7/2F

A mistake 2 out put pay to Pace Shots chances as he looked to have every chance under resiliant Philip Hide ride. Another game performance from a horse who always runs his race and deserves to pick up a win before the seasons out.
