This Ethan has no star quality...

14:55 Bangor - LAY - Ethans Star (Forecast 3.0)

Today's race is the 14:55 Bangor it's a class 4 novice hurdle over 2 1/2 miles. Ethans Star is forecast favourite trained by Miss Lucinda Russell and ridden by Peter Buchannan.

But this is a disgraceful state of affairs and I, Godfrey Hoopington-Charles, intend to profit as this horse quite simply shouldn't be favourite.

He is likely to need the run today, his first for 167 days. Furthermore, he is carrying a penalty and has to give weight away all round. Both career wins came at right handed tracks so today's course won't suit.

On top of all that, the trainer is out of form and has had just one winner from her last 34 runners and that was back in June.

Soufleur and Magical Quest should go well in an open race but I will be laying the poor old Ethans Star.

The Brigadier's lay finished unplaced
