King Of The Sand.

Kingscombe, ridden by Steve Drowne, landed someone's gamble (12/1 in to 7/2 jf) on the fibresand at Southwell today.  He was reluctant to enter the stalls, dropping the jockey once, but when finally in he overcame a poor draw to make early progress and lie up on the outside of the two leaders.  This brought him up the favoured centre of the track entering the home straight and he took the lead 2 furlongs from home.  He kept on galloping and could be called the winner a furlong from home as nothing else was making inroads.  At the line he was two lengths clear, picking up just under £2000 for his owner.  On this form a return to Southwell must be on the cards and an increase in distance would probably not inconvenience him.
