LEAMINGTON NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Willoughby Court 14th January 2017 – Warwick – This was an excellent boost to the form of his Warwick novice hurdle last time out. Tommy Rapper will be of even more interest moving forward. I assume that the Sandown race on the Saturday before...

ALBERT BARTLETT – KEY NOTE

Death Duty 8th January 2017 – Naas – It was no surprise to hear Gordon Elliot nominate the Albert Bartlett rather than the Neptune as his likely festival target after this dour staying performance. Whether he would have won if the mare had jumped...

TOLWORTH NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Finian’s Oscar 7th January 2017 – Sandown – This was a particularly impressive looking performance especially the way he finished his race off. He won this contest in the style of a potential Neptune Hurdle candidate rather than a Supreme Hurdle. The bookmakers clearly...

STAYERS HURDLE – KEY NOTE

Lil Rockerfeller 1st January 2017 – Cheltenham – He was off the bridle and being chased along after making a small error at the fifth hurdle. He never has moved that well through his races but this was easily the worst he has travelled....
