Agapanthus at Kempton

the most interesting runner today in the U.K. from the German point of view is surely Agapanthus, last seen when trailing in last for Gestüt Schenderhan and trainer Jens Hirschberger in the German Derby. He has since been gelded and now races in Barney Curley´s colours and is trained by his former assistant Andrew Stringer at Newmarket. He runs now in the class 3 handicap over 1 1/2 miles at 17.40 CET at Kempton with Shane Kelly in the saddle, and faces 11 opponents, the best of which should be the lightly-raced CD winner The Carlton Cannes (Geoff Wragg/ Darryll Holland) and Kings Event (Sir Michael Stoute/ Jimmy Fortune), runner-up here over 10 furlongs last time out. Another German-bred who could run well at Kempton´s all-weather fixture this afternoon is Carmeneno (Willie Muir/ Martin Dwyer), who goes for the 7 furlongs handicap at 16.10. The lightly-raced 3yo´s Lake Windermere (John Gosden/ Jimmy Fortune) and Without Prejudice (Jeremy Noseda/ Shane Kelly) are the likely f avourites and look the two to beat, but the more experienced Carmenero likes this track and could possibly go well at a decent price.
