SELECT HURDLE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

L’Ami Serge 29th April 2017 – Sandown – He is a very interesting horse as he has an awful lot of ability but needs specific conditions to excel. This can lead to him looking very unreliable on occasions as was the case at Haydock...

CELEBRATION CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Altior 29th April 2017 – Sandown – I do not think we have seen a better two mile chaser all season. I think it is reasonable to maintain that he ran below form when winning the Arkle Chase. He was simply in a different...

OAKSEY CHASE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Menorah 29th April 2017 – Sandown – This was a wonderful finale from this veteran chaser. From an analysis point of view he acts as an interesting marker for the form of those behind as he was winning this race for the fourth year...

AES CHAMPION 4YO HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Bapaume 29th April 2017 – Punchestown – Once again there was not a lot between the three best Irish juveniles of the season. He was most suited to the way the race panned out today. He had more than a little help from two...

EBF MARES CHAMPION HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Apple’s Jade 29th April 2017 – Punchestown – She tends to be very good at this time of the year. That said this was a weak contest for the grade and she did no more than her overall profile would have suggested. I suppose...

CHAMPION NOVICE HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Bacardys 28th April 2017 – Punchestown – He was being bumped along to maintain his position on the turn for home. Once the field straightened up he ran on more powerfully than any of his rivals. I think he will be better still on...

PUNCHESTOWN CHAMPION HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Wicklow Brave 28th April 2017 – Punchestown – He did not look certain to start the race and was last in the early stages. He raced so keenly that he ended up in front by the fifth hurdle. He was around a dozen lengths...

RYANAIR NOVICE CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Great Field 27th April 2017 – Punchestown – It would be difficult not to be excited by this exuberant front running display He is unbeaten in his four chases and this was probably his best round of jumping to date. I would prefer to...

CHAMPION STAYERS HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Unowhatimeanharry 27th April 2017 – Punchestown – He has now won nine of his ten races since being under the care of Harry Fry. He is not the quickest; hence Noel Fehily hitting the front sooner than ideal here. He battled hard in a...
