Inspection at Folkestone

The bad weather continues and there will be an inspection later at Folkestone. Should racing go ahead, the going will, be much softer then originally expected, so there will be quite a few non-runners. The card is very low level, so it is interesting to see Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes having runners here, including North Star Boy in the main event, a handicap over the straight 7 furlongs at 16.30 CET. However he has been totally out of form so far this year and we prefer Centrifugal (Mark Johnston/ Franny Norton), who has already won twice this month, including over this CD. Those races were on firm, but as a son of Pivotal he should also be able to handle this much softer going.
