23/4/2015 Beverley Thu 2.30 two horses on HCP Debut was very noticable

Mustaqbal (16/1) ran a cracking race on debut, considering he shown nothing last season and an al weather 3rd placing lto …the only answer to today is that either Mark Johnson has either trained this animal really well or he has just found the right conditions for him and the HCP has helped him a lot.. he was never out of touch throughout the race finishing a Neck to the winner “go dan go” and was pressing him well inside the last furlong, noticeable was that he was staying on from the last 100 yards indicating to me that he was possibly just hitting his stride and a step up to a mile will be interesting.. The race was won in 1 minute 31.67 secs which was only 1.39 seconds slower than the 7f class three race which Followed

Mustaqbal Comes Back out for his second handicap run, (see note booked Horses) at Mussleburgh 8.40 on Friday Similar Conditions to his Beverley handicap 2nd placing, but long gone is the 16/1 he carried that day. He’s up 5lbs for that effort and that looks fair, If i have concerns firstly, it his his price can i back him at the early tissue odds of 5/2 and secondly is Mussleburgh, a very unforgiving Sharp Track, and experience of sharp tracks have come on All Weather and Ripon…. But Mark Johnson is on fire at the moment

Handicap of £20000.00 3-y-o (Class 3) 1m. g/f

Mustaqbal(5/1) did find this a little to much and although he led initially, he was soon being ridden and headed over 2f out, and finally succumbed to pressure and pace 1f out ...but i am prepared to forgive him this run as it was a big ask
