Bachasson 31st January 2021 – Naas – I think we can safely say that this result will not cause too many waves in any of the ante-post markets for the Cheltenham Festival. He led all the way from two horses probably better over further....

Eklat De Rire 31st January 2021 – Naas – I compared him from the first fence with Billaway who won the Hunter Chase over the same course and distance an hour later. He was a long way behind that one as he turned into...

Silver Hallmark 23rd January 2021 – Haydock – He appeared to make all the running at an appropriately gentle pace given the conditions. His time comparisons with Royale Pagaille would suggest he went quite a good gallop throughout; at least in comparison with the...
