No enthusiasm about Wolverhampton tonight!

As anticipated Wolverhampton didn't let us down with times recorded well below standard. Only the two subscriber selections on the card became one due to withdraw and I have no doubt the slow surface was the demise of the remaining selection HIDDEN BELIEF (advised at 4-1) who could only muster enough effort to finish second to Burning Dawn.

If there was a performance to take from the card, it was that of Burning Dawn who ran the fastest time of the evening to beat our selection. As to whether any of this form is transferable is debatable but the step up in trip from 7f to 9f definitely bought the best out as the breeding suggested it might.

After such a fantastic week it would take a lot to dampen spirits but the surface running this slow it definitely damps my enthusiasm in getting heavily involved outside of the two subscriber selection and I am happier to keep my powder dry for another day.
