Chris’s Dream 15th February 2020 – Gowran Park – He won a hard fought and very tired looking finish from the mare. He led all the way and raced very wide on his own for the first circuit. If this was an advantage then...

Cilaos Emery 15th February 2020 – Gowran Park – He was pretty good over most of his obstacles but was slightly untidy at the first, a little more so at the fourth and he got in too close and lost a little momentum three...

Riders Onthe Storm 15th February 2020 – Ascot – He was around five seconds slower than Copperhead from the winning post with a circuit to go up to the sixth last fence. From there to the line the Tizzard horse gradually increased his advantage...

Copperhead 15th February 2020 – Ascot – On the one hand there appears to be little substance to this form given that the first two favourites ran no race resulting in, in effect, a three runner chase. On the other hand the winner was...

Ramses De Teillee 15th February 2020 – Haydock – He has run out a most tenacious winner and, at the same time, he has shown a glimpse of his frailties. He was tapped for toe for much of the home straight even on this...

Emitom 15th February 2020 – Haydock – It would be very easy to knock this form given that the two outsiders chased him home. His time comparisons from hurdle to hurdle with Welsh Saint and Ramsay De Teillee, however, suggest that this was a...

Pic D’Orhy 8th February 2020 – Newbury – Track position was key here. Many lost their chance due to the standing start. Before the turn for home the first four to finish were all in the first seven or eight. Nothing came from behind...

Native River 8th February 2020 – Newbury – His time comparisons against Mont Des Avaloirs are very interesting. He was about seven seconds slower than the Nicholls 142 rated handicapper from the first fence to the water jump with a circuit to go. This...

Altior 8th February 2020 – Newbury – He hit his usual flat spot and was going less well than the eventual runner up in between the final two fences. Once he had jumped the last he very quickly put two to three lengths between...

Rouge Vif 8th February 2020 – Warwick – This was run at a really good clip. He took up the running four out and then stole a two or three length advantage from the bend to the second last. He maintained this winning margin...
