Thursday the 22nd of November...

19.40 Kempton: Ghostwing @ 14/1 Bet365

Ghostwing is a frustratingly inconsistent sort but on his day he can be outstanding (in relation to the class and opposition he is running against). In January this year he took advantage of a slipping mark winning in breathtaking fashion at Southwell. He wasn't able to live up to his new mark and the expectations after this success for most of the year then though, failing to produce as good a performance as this Southwell form until he emerged at Brighton in September when he made all and won easily a decent class 5 Handicap only hands and heels ridden. It followed a couple of bad performances then but I thought his most recent run at Lingfield suggested that he might be back in form and could take advantage of a now again very low All-Weather handicap mark. He travelled in rear of the field which is quite unusual for him and was then never a really asked for an effort in the home straight. He finished 8/10 eventually but the overall run looked not that bad to me. He drops another 2lb in the mark and has an apprentice on board who claims 7lb in addition to that. Ghostwing is drawn in box two which should helpful to get a good early position and I actually expect to see him running well tomorrow at least.
