GOODWOOD 4.55 ... KILBURN @ 16/1

Goodwood 4.55 ... Kilburn @ 16/1

Kilburn was given a mark of 88 for his success winning his maiden here (7fl) for Clive Cox and was running in some competitive class2 handicaps thereafter. (Esher Cup & Brittania Stakes)

Missed 2008 and returned dropped to this grade (Class6) for this stable with a 2nd place effort then a win under this jockey, both on the all weather.

Given a 5lb rise in the ratings for later win he ran respectably back in class4 behind Taqdeyr (given that ones subsequent success' to a rating of 99, and his 3rd in the Guisborough Stakes Listed contest).

Ran another couple of decent races after in class4 contests at the end of last year in races working out well, before a re-appearance effort in a Lady amateur race (which has also thrown up numerous winners) saw his mark drop another 2lb making him eligible to run in this grade (class6).

Not badly drawn and should get more assistance from the saddle with (a senior jockey) Steve Drowne back on board where off his last winning mark (OR 65) is weighted to win this given no trouble in running.

CARLISLE 4.40 ... RED RIVER BOY @ 14/1

Ran a good race here penultimate outing at the end of last season when led from around the 3fl mark and had the measure of Hansomis (who is 1lb worse here and looks to need every yard of 6fl) until tiring in the 6th furlong.

Kelly Harrison ridden on numerous occasions so familiar with her mount and this drop back to 5fl in his favour having won his only race on previous visit at this trip here at this venue.

No great record fresh however but could reward at the price for small stakes if ready to go 1st time back.

GOODWOOD 4.20 ... CYFLYMDER @ 23 WIN 6.8 PLACE Betfair

Majority of his best efforts have been on top of the ground so can be excused his last 3 when on the all weather latest in January from a wide draw, and on soft the previous 2 runs when hampered/unseating once late last season.

Last time on gd/fm he met the 109 rated Djeer from the Godolphin stable last September when missing the break slightly over a mile at Chester, but lived up to his name and made rapid headway going for home.

Ryan Moore takes the ride over stablemate Get Carter (who he wont do the weight on) but this gelding looks to have a bit more class and at least is proven over trip and on the ground.

Nicely priced for a E/W wager should he fail to get to the head of affairs early (as he won 3 on the bounce leading from the start last summer), so hopefully a change to front running tactics back on better ground can pay dividends if Ryan takes it up early, and with stamina for further could hold them off at the finish.
