H K Hurricane just misses out on rounding off an excellent night for the tipster!

How close we were to the perfect result in England last night when H K Hurricane came storming down by the rail at the end of the Getminted consolation race. Sadly though it was too little too late for the 52/1 shot as he finished agonisingly in 4th. Prior to his heroics Distant memories backed for a place delivered just that finishing 3rd in Canada at 17/2 and Franklins Garden also did us proud picking up another 2nd placed finish at 13/2 in England. Well done to all.

Magical Shadows - 8:12 - 15/2

What an incredible run of form this 3 year old fillie is on of late. She's won her last three races and five of her last seven though it must be remembered these were all in very small fields. Owned by the mr. monkey stable she was bought just over a month ago from boyle1972 for £50 and in total has earned career winnings of £275. A lover of fast going as well as this distance she could well win tonight if she gets a decent jockey though in this larger size fields I think a placing is more likley.

Catherine Linton - 8:48 - 9/1

Magnificent odds here for a third favourite. In a field not brimming with top quality, owners Coolmore Operation must be confident that their girl has a chance in the 8:48 race from England. In her eight races to date Catherine Linton (a Wuthering Heights character) has been placed in five of these, especially unlucky not to record her first victory on the 12th of Setember when she finished second behind Stranglehold in the USA. She has potential but will need a good run tonight or patience may start to ebb away for the yard. Good each way chance.

Major Blitzkrieg - 9:12 - 12/1

It says that these Arc de Triomphe races are being run in the U.K. but I'd ignore that , were in Longchamps for sure! With some of the best horses in Getminted racing on show this particular race is sure to be a classic. I've opted to back the wonderful Major Blitzkrieg from the Andy Hargie stable who has won £3,154 in his career to date. Coming into this race on the back of a fine win in the UK his confidence will be high though his weight may be affected by that victory. Total stats read 110 races, 19 wins (17% win to run ratio) and 48 paced finishes (44% place to run ratio), who'd back against that!?
