Last Ran: 12th March 2009
Trainer Nicky Henderson has a great record for producing the winner in the Festival Plate having saddled two winners in recent years and four placed horses in the last seven years. In 2009 he bids to improve on those stats with Boomshakalaka.
The front runners runners include the lightly raced Clarified,Three Mirrors who hasn't produced anything special of late and Finger On The Pulse but it is interesting to note that no horses at the top of the betting have gone on to win here. Infact most have come from double figure odds, last years winner went off at 66/1.
Ping Pong Sivola looks to be in good form but has a lot of weight here, Perce Rock arrives on the back of two wins and could give a decent account of himself.
Or Bleu is in terrific form after some good runs and two recent wins but has a lot of work to do after being raised 8lbs. Paul Nicholls has a duo of runners Silverburn and Oslot, both of whom need to be respected.
