IRISH ARKLE NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 1 – PREVIEW

Footpad is two from two over fences and has looked particularly adept at jumping the bigger obstacles. Last time out in the Grade One Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown he jumped extremely well and looked like a very smart novice chaser. His performance...

LIGHTNING NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

Sceau Royal won the Grade One Henry V111 in impressive style last time out at Sandown; moreover, he posted a stronger time compared with the Tingle Creek winner. When 'matching him up' with Politologue from the first fence he was almost three seconds clear...

BALLYMORE CLASSIC NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

The market for this grade two hurdle is headed by the Nicky Henderson pair Santini and Pacific De Baune. The latter is the choice of Nico de Boinville so one might assume he is the stable number one. Personally I doubt there will be...

COTSWOLD CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

We are still in the same position with Bristol De Mai as we were prior to the King George at Kempton. After his comprehensive defeat on Boxing Day (I understand he was found to be suffering from ulcers) his form around Haydock on a...

CHAMPION HURDLE TRIAL HURDLE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

It has to be said that this is a disappointing turn out for this prestigious race. Given the state of the ground at Haydock I suppose it is also not surprising to see only four runners lining up for this grade two contest. Heading...

CLARENCE HOUSE CHASE GRADE 1 – PREVIEW

Un De Sceaux has won the last two renewals of this grade one chase and is the clear favourite to do so again in 2018. In 2016 he beat horses rated 169, 154, 161, and 160 and won by a very easy five lengths....

32RED CASINO CHASE (LISTED) – PREVIEW

This listed chase is full of horses with extremely poor win to run ratios with one notable exception. The Malcolm Jefferson trained Waiting Patiently is four from four over fences and has won each of those races with a fair bit in hand. He is...

DIPPER NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – PREVIEW

I think this looks to be a particularly hot renewal of the Dipper Novices’ Chase. We have two runners already rated 150+ whilst the other three could easily be on or around that sort of mark before the spring festivals. My main hope here...

CHALLOW NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 1 – PREVIEW

I doubt very much that Mulcahys Hill could be given any sort of a chance at this grade one level in normal circumstances. However, although his actual form at Ffos Las adds up to very little; the key variable today will be an ability...

KING GEORGE VI CHASE GRADE 1 – PREVIEW

As things stand we have eight runners lining up for the Grade One King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. With at least three relative ‘no hopers’ in the field the framework of the market rather lends itself to considering an each...
