MANY CLOUDS CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

After an absence of 609 days one would strongly suspect that Lucinda Russell will want to have One For Arthur as close to peak fitness as possible for this return run. He has obviously had his problems and running him before he is reasonably...

TINGLE CREEK CHASE GRADE 1 – PREVIEW

Altior appears to be much better than the second best chaser around in his division and is unbeaten in 14 starts under rules; consequently, one would need to find a very good reason to oppose him. Nicky Henderson’s stable star is versatile with regards...

JOHN FRANCOME NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

I think it is fair to say that Kilbricken Storm was far from pleasing to the eye when scrambling home on his chasing debut at Ffos Las. There are many permutations of variables to consider when assessing form and putting a performance into some...

BERKSHIRE NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

Spiritofthegames is an excellent example of a horse with an inflated handicap mark. He is a 134 rated hurdler and yet has found himself with a mark of 148 as a chaser on the strength of an ultimately comfortable success in a race where...

PRESTBURY JUVENILE HURDLE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

There appears to be four worthy contenders for this juvenile contest. The odds on favourite for this grade two hurdles race is the filly from the Nicky Henderson yard making her British debut over hurdles. Never Adapt won her only race under rules to...

SHLOER CHASE GRADE 2 ANTE-POST – REVIEW

According to his trainer “a tiny tweak on a suspensory ruled Sceau Royal out of the Arkle but he has not missed a day’s work since he came back and is in great form”. This is really good news as Sceau Royal is a...

HYDE NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

Nicky Henderson has mentioned previously that Pym was meant to be last season's star novice but just never came right. He made his hurdles and seasonal debut at Chepstow in the middle of October. On that day he rather reluctantly led all the way....
