MILE A CONCERN FOR ELJADDAAF

Eljaddaaf - tough task at Kempton

Eljaddaaf – tough task at Kempton

ELJADDAAF runs in a mile handicap at Kempton tonight (7.45pm) and although a course winner, he is usually happier over six or seven furlongs.

The nine-times winning son of Shamardal also has to contend with 195-day absence, so he faces a tall order under Joey Haynes who rides him for the first time.  It is probably no surprise that he is weak in the market at 33/1.

The race, being a 0-95, has some useful animals among its 10 runners and market leaders Kasbaan and Mawakib look likely sorts.
