HATTON’S GRACE HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Apple’s Jade 3rd December 2017 – Fairyhouse – She enjoyed an untroubled lead and had a fitness advantage over her main rival. She is in much better form than she was at this point in the season last year. She will be very good...

ROYAL BOND NOVICE HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Mengli Khan 3rd December 2017 – Fairyhouse – His overall time compared very favourably with the juvenile race plus the Hattons Grace. I think we need to be careful making too many comparisons here as Apple’s Jade led all the way at the pace...

BAR ONE RACING JUVENILE HURDLE GRADE 3 – REVIEW

Espoir D’Allen 3rd December 2017 – Fairyhouse – This was a very slow run race with a sprint finish over the last three hurdles. His previous form has not worked out particularly well so it would be good to see him win a fast...

FIGHTING FIFTH HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Buveur D’Air 2nd December 2017 – Newcastle – I would have preferred to see him struggle home in the ground or even get beaten. Given that scenario he would have probably drifted to an each way price for the Champion Hurdle despite the challenges...

JOHN FRANCOME NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Elegant Escape 2nd December 2017 – Newbury – This was an especially positive ride from the excellent Harry Cobden. He really made this horses mind up at many of the fences. He led most of the way and found more with the better jump...

BERKSHIRE NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Willoughby Court 1st December 2017 – Newbury – If we take the time comparison with Oldgrangewood literally then this performance would suggest he is a mid-late 140’s horse already. When playing the two races side by side from the first fence he would have...

LONG DISTANCE HURDLE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Beer Goggles 1st December 2017 – Newbury – He led all the way and was left alone for most of the race. He enjoyed a massively untroubled lead and took full advantage. I suspect there was an element of Barry Geraghty taking more notice...

CHALLOW NOVICES’ HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

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...

RYANAIR HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Petit Mouchoir 29th December 2016 – Leopardstown – He took three lengths out of the odds on favourite after being driven to do so at the second last flight. He extended his advantage from the last flight and was eased down close home. We...
