Kynren chases Balmoral prize for David Barron

David Barron has been taking a chance when he attempts to triumph at Ascot for the second time this season, in the Balmoral Handicap that Kynren can defeat a turnaround.
When carrying a valuable handicap over seven furlongs at the Berkshire class a fortnight ago the consistent five-year-old finished a run of near misses, going over a couple of years.
Ordinarily, Barron would not race him again so soon, but he is ready to do so on Saturday since it will be Kynrens last excursion of 2019.
Obviously he enjoys the course, he enjoys the floor, and it seems he has an adequate draw (19), said the Thirsk trainer.
The negative is were coming at it fairly quickly.
Its only two weeks since he won down there, and we have gone quicker than I would have liked ideally, but it will be his final run of this year – so were taking our opportunity.
Barron saddles Clon Coulis, who had been beaten just a nose at the Royal meeting in the Hunt Cup.
She is back on the exact same markers when she had been next in the Hunt Cup, he said.
She enjoys the trail, so the positives are there, however, the drawback is I dont know whether shell handle the ground.
That June floor was much different to this is. We are optimistic, anyhow.
Lord North is likely to enjoy loads of support, as a result of his convincing victory in the Cambridgeshire.
The John Gosden-trained three-year-old was given a 12lb increase for this victory, making him combined top-weight from the handicap that will bring Qipco British Champions Day into a close with Kynren and Flaming Spear.
This really is Lord Norths last chance in a big handicap, so well give it a go, said Gosden.
The Newmarket coach has a second series at Kick On, who started the campaign with victory from the Feilden Stakes and conquered Accidental Agent in the Group Three Sovereign Stakes on his Most Recent start.
Kick On won a Group Three last time outside, and he is a real genuine horse who wants to run in a race like this, said Gosden.
After needing to rule out Dunkirk Harbour, that spiked a 23, aidan OBrien has been left to rely.
Amedeo has only had the 1 run back since a fracture when he conducted into a Listed race in Cork, said that the Ballydoyle handler of the one-time Derby hopeful.
He ran a wonderful raceand we think he will step forward from it.
We always believed he was a classy horse.
Dean Ivory is concerned the stiff mile from the testing requirements could catch out Flaming Spear.
I feel the mile might be a bit too much for him on this floor, stated the Radlett coach.
I am happy with him, the way he has been working, and hes been lightly-raced.
Ralph Beckett is not perturbed by heavy earth for Mitchum Swagger his two Trainers and Biometric.
He explained :Mitchum Swagger would take pleasure in the floor very much. It can not rain for himand also he had a wonderful run at Redcar a fortnight ago.
Biometric obviously won the Britannia on slow ground, so it should not be too much of a drama for him .
