NEPTUNE HURDLE – KEY NOTE

Any Second Now 14th January 2017 – Punchestown – He was held up last of the six runners before making a move before the second last flight. He appeared to be well held in third place some three or four lengths behind the two...

NEPTUNE HURDLE – KEY NOTE

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...

SUPREME HURDLE – KEY NOTE

13th January 2017 Having just got back from enjoying a few days of Spanish sunshine I thought it would be a good time to take a closer look at a few of the early festival markets beginning with the Supreme Hurdle. Moon Racer is...

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....

JLT NOVICES’ CHASE – KEY NOTE

Clan Des Obeaux 1st January 2017 – Cheltenham – I compared his round with that Of Village Vic over the same course and distance. He was about three seconds behind Village Vic half way down the back side and a similar time in front...

NEPTUNE HURDLE – KEY NOTE

Messire Des Obeaux 31st December 2016 – Newbury – He travelled in a much smoother fashion than last time at Sandown. Maybe this was something to do with the lightning fast gallop set by the two outsiders. That said, although it did look especially...

JLT NOVICES’ CHASE – KEY NOTE

Buveur D’Air 31st December 2016 – Warwick – For the second race in a row he was very low at many of his fences. He left a mark in two or three of them including the second last which was probably his worst jump...

STAYERS HURDLE – KEY NOTE

Unowhatimeanharry is the deserved favourite for the World Hurdle or Stayers Hurdle as it seems to be being called for this season. The next seven horses quoted in the early markets are, at best, unlikely to line up on the day. This leaves Lil...
