River Wylde 25th February 2017 – Kempton – He was promoted to around 12/1 for the Supreme after this success. He is unbeaten in his three hurdle races and this is probably very decent form without being anything out of the ordinary. I suspect...

Yanworth 18th February 2017 – Wincanton – They did not go particularly quick in the first half of the race and this home straight sprint would not have been in his favour. He showed plenty of determination to get to the front and should...

Acapella Bourgeois 19th February 2017 – Navan – It would be hard to be picky after this wide margin success; nonetheless, I will do my best. When a horse wins in this manner we need to take a look at his previous performances to...

Sutton Place 19th February 2017 – Navan – To my eyes he never really looked happy through the race. He was clumsy at a few hurdles and was travelling less well then Renneti even on the approach to two out. He got the job...

Ball D’Arc 19th February 2017 – Navan – I would be open minded as to which one of the front two in the betting would have won if the favourite had stood up. As things turned out this race took little winning. His trainer...

Tombstone 18th February 2017 – Gowran Park – He was ridden prominently and found more than the favourite when asked for extra on the run in. There was no fluke about this success though quite what he achieved is difficult to gauge. The proximity...

Ballycasey 18th February 2017 – Gowran Park – I think that this form adds up to very little in the grand scheme of things. He was often travelling least well of the principals through this grade two contest. He asserted his authority after the...

The Worlds End 18th February 2017 – Haydock – He did this well and might be of interest in a better race at one of the festivals. He has quite a high knee action and has yet to run on a quicker surface. I...

Zarkandar 18th February 2017 – Haydock – He was in receipt of weight from a favourite with stamina to prove for this trip. The third favourite, his stable mate, hardly jumped a hurdle. All in all, although it was great to see him get...

Cue Card 18th February 2017 – Ascot – He did no more than the official handicap marks would have suggested. That said he jumped and travelled well and won with plenty to spare from a group of rivals well below top class. The sectional...
