A little late but here is the retrospective look at Kempton Parks meeting 22nd August.
With only three races of interest, one race (7:20) where the potential pace became a non-runner turning it in to a tactical affair and in hindsight would have been better left alone.
Our first race selection Gallipot got us off on the right foot scoring by an uncomfortable margin for a horse backed from 11-4 to SP Evens.
In the last our attention was with 2 point selection Angelic Upstart who seemed a very generous price at a high of 15-2 but I feel jockey indecision may have costs us the victory.

Angelic Upstart was settled in mid field by Jimmy Fortune and could be seen to be in two minds as they put the pedal to the metal, switching inside and then outside to deliver a challenge closing all the way to the line. If Little Black Book was a shorter price I would have simply shrugged my shoulders at the result but comparing C&D ratings for the pair question why I was not on Little Black Book at 14-1
