Reflection on Mubtabi at Southwell..................................................

Mubtadi -Southwell


As soon as he missed the break Plan A went out of the window. In the circumstances he ran ok, travelling well before getting tired in the final furlong.

Liam Jones said that he needs gelding - if you saw the size of his balls you would agree - and though Ismail is adverse to doing this, he has agreed that it's the best way to go. It worked with Educate and hopefully it will with this fella. It will happen early next week

The track was ok - getting that much kickback it's hard to tell truly - but the idea will be to give him a few weeks to recover, drop him back to 7f and maybe go onto the Poltrack even though Southwell would also be a  possibility.

Today was disappointing but there is a chance he will now drop another couple of pounds and the gelding operation will certainly help. He isn't one to lose faith in just yet.

There is still plenty to come in the next few weeks. Alhaarth Beauty has a perfect draw in her maiden at Wolverhampton on Saturday. She is top-rated and, apart from a once-raced Tom Dascombe's colt, it doesn't look a strong event.She will also appreciate the 6f trip

Autumnus, an expensive purchase, will make his handicap debut sometime next week, either Wolverhampton or Southwell and will drop back in trip. Light Burst when we can get him in a race while Admiralty will be back in early December.
