Better not to dwell on Heerathetrack; a really frustrating bit of behaviour and we will have to think carefully how we manage him. Shades of May was also frustrating although to nothing like the degree of Heerathetrack; as clumsy as LSG was the day before leaving the stalls and had a mountain to climb for the first two thirds of the race before going on to reduced the deficet at the line to five lengths; but at least the actual performance was a stepping stone to the gelding putting those modest last runs behind him; and he showed that he is capable of winning in the right grade.

Outreach goes to Bath to run on turf for the ft since he ran at Brighton 13 months ago; and he comes back down in trip to Bath's 5f 160 yard course; difficult to predict how he might run with the imponderable of both of these; he seems to have around eight or nine pounds to find with several of the opposition and that is more complex than it seems because a lot of that is based on turf form where our guy's recent form is all on the aw (he has the same mark, 47, on both the aw and turf). At his best he is clearly capable of making an impact off this but it is hard to know; how he gets on this pm will help inform us as to his surface for the Summer or whether we should look to the early Autumn on aw.

No runners Saturday or Sunday; and more about next week over the weekend.
