King Of The Sands

Kingscombe won for the third time on the fibresand at Southwell today (18/2/2014).  Ridden by Robert Havlin, he tucked into the middle of the seven runner field early on.  He was niggled round the first bend and moved to the outside, avoiding the kickback, in fifth place.  He was only a length down entering the final bend and entered the straight as one of four with a chance.  He took the lead a furlong and a half out but seemed to be headed as they passed the one pole.  He battled back to the lead and looked strong at the line, winning at odds of 14/1.
