    Keith's Final Selection

    PROTEKTORAT 14:05 Wincanton 4/9 – Decent hurdler who is set to be a very good chaser, 2/2 over fences so far and can notch up the hattrick today.

    How did we do?

    PROTEKORAT never got into any sort of a rhythum and had to settle for second behind MESSIRE DES OBEAUX
