NAVAN NOVICE HURDLE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Ashdale Bob 18th December 2020 – Navan – With the first two in the betting both stopping as if something was amiss, this may not have taken as much winning as it otherwise would. That said if we take the ratings of the second...

FUTURE CHAMPIONS NOVICE HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Appreciate It 27th December 2020 – Leopardstown – Although this was a comprehensive success one would still struggle to mark him close to 145 based on the proximity of the runner up. In terms of ratings this was of a similar level to the...

PADDY’S REWARD CLUB CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Chacun Pour Soi 27th December 2020 – Leopardstown – Presumably the pace maker was in place due to ensure he settled in just behind the front rather than raced keenly out in the lead. He raced just behind his stable mate on the rail...

FAUGHEEN NOVICE CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Colreevy 26th December 2020 – Limerick – She had them all in trouble as she took a two length lead round the final bend. At this point she was going much the best of the remaining four runners and appeared to have the race...

RACING POST NOVICE CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Franco De Port 26th December 2020 – Leopardstown – This was not a stroke of tactical genius to hold him up; he simply could not go the pace. It has to be said it was rather a brutal gallop and one that resulted in...

KNIGHT FRANK JUVENILE HURDLE GRADE 2 – REVIEW

Zanahiyr 26th December 2020 – Leopardstown – This race was run at a pedestrian pace; so much so that he was more than ten seconds slower than the 119 rated Dysart Diamond from the first hurdle to the winning line. I don’t particularly see...

KING GEORGE VI CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Frodon 26th December 2020 – Kempton – Aside from generally edging to his left over many of his obstacles he was his usual superb self over the fences. He got to the front before the first fence which I strongly suspect is the most...

CHRISTMAS HURDLE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Silver Streak 26th December 2020 – Kempton – When comparing the races side by side he was next to Flic Ou Voyou at the third hurdle and then about 20 lengths clear of the novice with three to jump. Despite running much faster throughout;...

KAUTO STAR NOVICES’ CHASE GRADE 1 – REVIEW

Shan Blue 26th December 2020 – Kempton – This race was run at a brutal pace compared with the King George Chase. Shan Blue was already more than ten lengths clear of Frodon from the first fence to the winning post with a circuit...

UPDATE TUESDAY 29th DECEMBER 2020

I normally take a break after Cheltenham on New Year's Day and try and find a bit of winter sun. Obviously this will not be possible; therefore, I will prepare previews for Friday and possibly Saturday (depending on the quality of the racing) this...
