Kruising Kauto

Sorry about the lack of posts in the past week, I was on holiday in Cornwall without access to a PC.
Anyway, Kauto Star recorded a facile victory over in Ireland against average opposition and The Listener was highly disappointing finishing a very distant fourth. However, Noland was more impressive beating Fingeronthepulse by 7 lengths, at a canter. 
There was a good days racing at Ascot and the old boy Bleu Superbe scored in good fashion in the listed chase, coming in at a big price 20/1. Sentry Duty was an impressive 6 length winner for the mighty Henderson yard and could be one to follow in handicap hurdles. Gungadu ran a gallant race under top weight for AP and Nicholls, and will be much better in graded races. But the first and second pulled away well and Air Force One could be worth keeping on the right side of. 
In the Novice Hurdle, Nick Gifford's Wizard of Odds put up a very impressive perfomance to finish third after an almost 700 day absence and will come on for the run alot. Could turn out to be very good hurdler considering his position 4 out. 
Up at Wetherby My Petra put up a good perfomance for Johnson to win by 4 lengths and could be worth noting as could Theatre Belle who took a big step up in class but ran creditably. I thought Lough Derg was very disappointing finishing a mile back, but he may have needed the run.
