Zanahiyr 29th November 2020 – Fairyhouse – His trainer stated pre-race that this juvenile was up to the level of his best. Gordon Elliott has a good handle on the British form so this was probably a very significant race. On the down side,...

Next Destination 28th November 2020 – Newbury – This has to go down as an extremely positive performance on his chasing debut. He could not be described as exuberant over his obstacles; however, he was very efficient and safe throughout and did not make...

Epatante 28th November 2020 – Newcastle – I would suggest that it is important to balance how scintillating Epatante appeared to be in the finish next to the fact that the one target horse she took aim at has previously been held-up and was,...

Thyme Hill 27th November 2020 – Newbury – An excellent effort from this Philip Hobbs-trained six-year-old and a real fillip for the 2020 Albert Bartlett form lines. He is now joint favourite with Paisley Park with many firms for the 2021 Stayers Hurdle and...

Bristol De Mai 21st November 2020 – Haydock – He made most of the running and outstayed a very good horse in the runner up. He was going second best as the Nicholls horse loomed up on his outside travelling ominously well on the...

Imperial Aura 21st November 2020 – Ascot – It would be very easy to jump on the ‘Imperial Aura bandwagon’ after his scintillating performance in the Grade Two Chanelle Pharma 1965 Chase at Ascot on Saturday. He jumped superbly, won in impressive style and...

Song For Someone                           21st November 2020 – Ascot – He made all the running in what turned out to be an uncompetitive renewal. Maybe he has to take a lot of credit for that as he did not appear to be in much danger...

Presenting Percy 19th November 2020 – Thurles– It was really good to see him get off the mark for the first time in almost two years. He held a race - fitness advantage over his three rivals in a race run at a crawl...
