RACE SUMMARY

LORD CAPRIO posted a couple of solid efforts at Hexham back in the spring, despite not being seen to best effect, and has since added to his tally on the Flat, so he’s an appealing candidate. Zamond is likely to be on the premises again, with Silkstone another to consider following a good second over C&D in late September

STANLEY&LILLIANTHOMPSON MEMORIALRACE

My brother, Howard, and I are grateful to Sedgefield Racecourse for hosting a memorial race commemorating our parents, Stanley & Lillian Thompson, who introduced both of us into the world of horses and racing from a very early age. So they are to blame!!

Stanley, who was born in Hartlepool, was a Flight Sergeant in the Pathfinders during WWII. He was a top athlete who ran at the White City and founded the family steel firm, S M Thompson Ltd.

Lillian, who was brought up in Norton, was a Telegram Girl during the war; she helped the local community so much that she became Deputy Mayor of Teeside, Head of Education and Governor of a number of local schools. We are so proud of them.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KILGANER QUEEN trained by A West, Epsom, 277 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

This can go to DOIREANN if she’s able to recapture the pick of her form following a break and breathing operation. Boomtime Banker has returned from a long absence an improved model and is much respected in her hat-trick bid. Topkapi Star only won a weak race at Perth last time but has run well from higher marks in the past, so should be capable of making her presence felt again.
