Zack Mayo’s return to the track after a deserved 7 months break didn’t go to plan when he was comprehensively beaten (5 th ) in a warm CL2 2 Mile handicap at Ripon on Saturday. Having swept aside fields over a mile and a half it seemed likely a move to 2 miles would benefit and a Group 3 entry in Germany in May was made with a positive run here in min ...

He was held up in the rear for the best part bef ...

Bond Street Beau takes a drop back in trip (7F) and class (6) in the 6.15 at Kempton Park this evening. Josephine Gordon is retained from the CL5 mile run here 2 weeks ago where she finished just 2 1/2L 6th of 10 at this track over a mile and the drop in trip should suit and she should run well. Connections will no doubt be concerned with the stall ...
