Frodon 26th January 2019 – Cheltenham – He jumped well enough out in front though perhaps slightly less sharp than on one or two previous occasions. He really kicked on down the hill and just about lasted home in the end. Paul Nicholls stated...

Presenting Percy 24th January 2019 – Gowran Park – He travelled and jumped in an easy manner throughout before having to be driven right out to hold on at the line. Perhaps he had a tad more in hand than it looked at the...

Kemboy 28th December 2018 – Leopardstown – The first mile of the race was run at just a steady gallop which encouraged his jockey to take it up from a long way out. He made all the running for the last two miles and...

Native River 26th December 2018 – Kempton – He was having to be ridden to keep up for most of the race and did extremely well to stay on for third place. At the same time his third place finish said as much about...

Native River 10th February 2018 –Newbury – He led all the way and jumped well and it was a case of job done as far as the Gold Cup is concerned. He beat a non-stayer in second and the third horse was said to...
