105 | 31/01/2018 | 18:15 | Newcastle | EW | Run With Pride | 21 | 12 | 3 | 3rd | 9.00 | 62.16 |
Best recent run was over 5f at Wolves, but best form is over 6f. Should be well suited by this straight 5f as they tend to get racing early and has a good cruising speed. Not ruled out for stable that is flying at the moment. | |||||||||||
104 | 31/01/2018 | 16:10 | Chelmsford City | EW | Bertie Blu Boy | 34 | 19 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 53.16 |
Trainer, jockey combination has been going well recently and this time last year Bertie Blu Boy started producing his better RPR’s. A return to those RPR’s will give him a really good chance on a much reduced handicap mark. | |||||||||||
103 | 31/01/2018 | 13:25 | Chelmsford City | EW | Medicean El Diablo | 13 | 12 | 3 | 3rd | 4.20 | 59.16 |
1lb better off than Kempton win (including excellent Nicola Currie’s claim) and excuses last twice. Looks certain to run well and has a good strike rate in this grade. | |||||||||||
102 | 30/01/2018 | 16:15 | Lingfield | EW | Bohemian Rhapsody | 12 | 9 | 3 | 3rd | 3.60 | 54.96 |
Running with credit over a variety of distances recently and knuckled down well to be third of 10 at Southwell on the Flat last time. Should be competitive off this mark on his return to hurdling and the talented Paul Nicholls retained Amateur Lorcan Williams takes over from owners son today. Could make the difference. | |||||||||||
101 | 30/01/2018 | 14:40 | Lingfield | EW | Gowell | 34 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 51.36 |
Has cut little ice on her last three starts, the latest in first-time blinkers which are fitted again. Needs to reproduce the form which saw her finish third of six at this track in November and if she does then has a great chance in this of 6lb lower at a massive price. | |||||||||||
100 | 30/01/2018 | 14:15 | Southwell | EW | Mister Freeze | 17 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 57.36 |
Won a similar race from this mark over C&D on his handicap debut this time last year, which remains a career best. Has gone close at Lingfield since then. Out of sorts last twice, but on his first return visit since that success he has good chance with Cheekpieces added. | |||||||||||
99 | 29/01/2018 | 20:00 | Wolverhampton | EW | Clement | 21 | 26 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | 63.36 |
Not shown much in two runs back from a break but won three races at Lingfield at this time last year, latterly of 4lb higher. Started slowly last time and wasn't persevered with when chance had gone. Stable have 30% strike rate over last 2 weeks and better expected from this one today. Been nibbled at overnight. | |||||||||||
98 | 29/01/2018 | 15:25 | Plumpton | EW | Ballyheigue Bay | 15 | 10 | 3 | W | 50.40 | 69.36 |
Well suited by todays conditions having had recent runs over shorter than ideal. Return to Plumpton will also help. Stable enjoying a very good spell at the moment and likely to outrun big odds. | |||||||||||
97 | 29/01/2018 | 14:25 | Plumpton | EW | Good Man Hughie | 11 | 7 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 18.96 |
Was well beaten on chase debut, however in deep with a couple of his rivals, and found to have burst a blood vessel. Will be better for that outing and against much lesser rivals here. | |||||||||||
96 | 28/01/2018 | 15:40 | Sedgefield | EW | Oregon Gold | 23 | 34 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 24.96 |
Shown glimmers of promise in novice events, and it's still very much early days in handicap company. That said, he needs to take a step forward for win purposes, but could be capable of hitting the frame at sizeable odds. Drop back in trip looks a good move. | |||||||||||
95 | 28/01/2018 | 15:20 | Naas | EW | Love And Wishes | 21 | 15 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | 30.96 |
Never really threatened in bumpers/maiden hurdles but definitely the type to do best now handicapping. Still needs to improve off this opening mark, however but looks progressive and top stable know the time of day. | |||||||||||
94 | 27/01/2018 | 19:45 | Kempton | EW | Star Quality | 19 | 11 | 3 | W | 64.80 | 36.96 |
ightly-raced filly, sprung 40/1 shock in landing a Wolverhampton maiden (7f) last month and just denied over longer trip on her handicap bow next time. Appears to be on the upgrade and merits serious consideration back over 7f | |||||||||||
93 | 27/01/2018 | 18:45 | Kempton | EW | Kinglami | 67 | 17 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -27.84 |
Well-placed to win four times on turf last season but ended the year a little out of sorts. That said, he ran better than the bare result suggests over C&D in November and his AW mark has dropped to interesting levels. Is 8lb better off with Higher Court for 4 lengths and is better drawn here. Place claims at an enormous price. | |||||||||||
92 | 27/01/2018 | 15:15 | Doncaster | EW | Warriors Tale | 13 | 13 | 3 | 2nd | 6.00 | -23.84 |
Improved on some decent form over 2m4f last season when a neck second at his beloved Newbury (2m6½f, good to soft) in December. Raised 4lb for that but form is very solid and should go well for trainer who won 2009 renewal | |||||||||||
91 | 27/01/2018 | 14:25 | Cheltenham | EW | Perfect Candidate | 41 | 34 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -29.84 |
Career best when beating Vicente by a neck here in November but ran no sort of race at Sandown last time out. Can be hit and miss but conditions perfect today and not out of this on ratings at a massive price. | |||||||||||
90 | 27/01/2018 | 14:00 | Lingfield | EW | Contrast | 19 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -23.84 |
One win in six starts, but has been highly-tried and his form figures disguise some creditable efforts. On a feasible handicap mark for AW debut if fit and raring to go after his lay-off and a gelding operation. Has run well fresh before | |||||||||||
89 | 27/01/2018 | 13:15 | Cheltenham | EW | Solstice Star | 21 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -17.84 |
Not won since a hurdles success at this meeting in 2016 but finished 2L second behind Mister Whitaker at Carlisle in November. 10lb better off with that rival today and has had a wind op since beaten last time. Interesting runner returned to fences. | |||||||||||
88 | 27/01/2018 | 12:55 | Doncaster | EW | Sommervieu | 23 | 41 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -11.84 |
Made the frame a few times over hurdles in France at up to 2m1f and acts on soft ground. Was sent off at 6-1 for a juvenile contest at Ludlow last time and didn't run badly. Return of blinkers is a plus and seems overpriced. | |||||||||||
87 | 26/01/2018 | 15:30 | Lingfield | EW | Drop Kick Murphi | 8 | 8 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -7.84 |
Didn't settle well last time and had his run blocked when about to make his challenge. Remains extremely well handicapped and more than capable off this mark. Was well supported in the market last time too. | |||||||||||
86 | 26/01/2018 | 15:05 | Doncaster | EW | Grandads Horse | 15 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -1.84 |
Excuses recently since back from a break, but back to ideal conditions today and in a lower grade than he's used to. Stable in good form and extremely well handicapped. This course and distance winner looks primed for a good run. | |||||||||||
85 | 26/01/2018 | 14:30 | Doncaster | EW | Emell | 13 | 15 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | 4.16 |
Fell last time out at Musselburgh but was travelling and jumping well before coming down. If ridden a bit more prominently could have a say. | |||||||||||
84 | 25/01/2018 | 15:55 | Southwell | EW | Count Montecristo | 17 | 7 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 10.16 |
Positive tactics always appear to suit him best and he had no problems with the shorter trip on his debut on Fibresand last time. Return to a mile will suit and is now 10lb lower than when a good 4th at Wolves in a class 3 last May. | |||||||||||
83 | 25/01/2018 | 14:45 | Southwell | EW | Multellie | 21 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 16.16 |
His sire Multiplex has a 12% strike-rate here and he's slipped back down below his last winning mark which came on softish turf in the summer. Ran over hurdles last time (looked in need of the experience) and now returns to the Flat for his first experience on this unique surface | |||||||||||
82 | 25/01/2018 | 14:35 | Warwick | EW | Late Shipment | 19 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 22.16 |
Won three races out of four in the early part of last year, all at Hereford over 3m1½f, including on soft and heavy. Held by the handicapper this term, but 3lb drop brings him right into this again and the excellent Richard Patrick takes off another 5lb. | |||||||||||
81 | 24/01/2018 | 14:30 | Catterick | EW | Dedigout | 21 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 28.16 |
Useful in his prime in Ireland but has been out of sorts since leaving Gordon Elliott. Well into the veteran stage now, so needs the assistance of the handicapper (dropped 17lb in two starts) in order to prove more competitive. Showed a bit more last time and has been well backed overnight. | |||||||||||
80 | 24/01/2018 | 14:05 | Lingfield | EW | Natalie Express | 26 | 13 | 3 | W | 90.00 | 34.16 |
Running okay without ever threatening the judge on recent starts. Early days yet though, and more positive tactics could be the key if tried. On that, drawn to attack and no surprise if she improves today | |||||||||||
79 | 24/01/2018 | 13:55 | Catterick | EW | Lansdowne Road | 41 | 51 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -55.84 |
Has seen precious little racing for his age (point-to-point winner). Handicapping is likely to suit him best (outclassed in novice events) Novice hurdle debut was full of promise and wears cheek-pieces for handicap chase debut. Overpriced here for stable that had a 22/1 winner lat week. | |||||||||||
78 | 23/01/2018 | 15:50 | Leicester | EW | Marmont | 9 | 11 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -49.84 |
Tried to keep up with Our Merlin and paid the price on seasonal reappearance on heavy going. That run encouraging in todays field, and should be better off for that run. Likely to run well. | |||||||||||
77 | 23/01/2018 | 14:55 | Wetherby | EW | Ballyantics | 9 | 9 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -43.84 |
Marked improvement stepped up to 3m on soft ground. That improvement looks likely to keep coming after the winner of his Taunton race followed up with another win earlier this month. | |||||||||||
76 | 23/01/2018 | 13:45 | Wetherby | EW | Floramoss | 15 | 13 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -37.84 |
Career low mark and down in grade. Floramoss has performed well on testing ground last season, and although first two runs of this season were not great, has excuses, trip and good ground. This track could bring out the best in him. | |||||||||||
-- | 22/01/2018 | 18:50 | Wolverhampton | EW | Gealach Ghorm | 17 | 3 | NR | 0.00 | -31.84 | |
Both starts for his current yard have taken place at this track - the first of which was handicap debut and was a sound enough effort in defeat over C&D. More to do now but is still open to a bit of improvement so has a decent chance in a winnable race from a low draw. | |||||||||||
75 | 22/01/2018 | 17:50 | Wolverhampton | EW | London Glory | 13 | 8 | 3 | 2nd | 4.20 | -31.84 |
Didn't appear to like the surrounding on hurdles debut at Wetherby latest. but does have snippets of form that suggest this gelding can get competitive back on the Flat. Joe Fanning back on top today and just 1lb higher than last win. | |||||||||||
74 | 22/01/2018 | 16:20 | Wolverhampton | EW | Raven's Raft | 21 | 15 | 3 | 3rd | 9.00 | -36.04 |
0-7 so far and tried a variety of trips, however showed a bit more from the front last time here over 9.4f and shaped as though stretched by that trip. Headgear off today and Luke Morris on board and down 2lb in stall 1. Could make all today. | |||||||||||
73 | 22/01/2018 | 13:25 | Fakenham | EW | Karl Marx | 15 | 15 | 3 | 2nd | 5.40 | -45.04 |
Last of his five wins came on soft at Chepstow (2m) in March from today's mark. Is of interest on that basis. Was entitled to need his reappearance at Wincanton in November and should be capable of a competitive effort this time off a feather weight. | |||||||||||
72 | 21/01/2018 | 16:30 | Chelmsford City | EW | Firesnake | 17 | 9 | 3 | 3rd | 6.60 | -50.44 |
Trainer & jockey combo had a winner here last night and Firesnake is well handicapped based on C&D distance run in August. Beaten behind 2 unexposed types last time. Nothing of that quality in this field and easily capable of winning this. | |||||||||||
71 | 21/01/2018 | 14:40 | Fontwell | EW | Gowell | 21 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -57.04 |
Continues to drop down the weights and some runs on heavy have been good enough. This is not a great race and is there for the taking. Hopefully the addition of blinkers will bring out the little bit of necessary improvement. | |||||||||||
70 | 21/01/2018 | 13:55 | Chelmsford City | EW | Captain Bob | 10 | 13 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -51.04 |
Gone close over 7f on the AW a few times without registering a win. A mark of 60 represents a clear career low mark though and drop into a Class 6 handicap should give him a good each way shout. | |||||||||||
69 | 20/01/2018 | 16:10 | Lingfield | EW | Secret Strategy | 23 | 13 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -45.04 |
Dual Brighton winner who reportedly liked the easy ground last time. Took time to take an interest that day, but picked his rivals off nicely once he did. Runs as though the extra furlong will suit if handling this quicker surface. | |||||||||||
68 | 20/01/2018 | 15:15 | Haydock | EW | Highland Lodge | 21 | 26 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -41.04 |
Stable stalwart who will relish todays conditions. Usually saves his best for Aintree however one run at Haydock over the brush hurdles yielded a win on heavy. Likely to run his race and can be difficult to pass if in with a shout at the business end. | |||||||||||
67 | 20/01/2018 | 14:25 | Ascot | EW | Man Of Plenty | 15 | 17 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -37.04 |
In consistent form at the moment and is worth another go at this 2m3f trip. Great effort at Haydock over this distance on heavy when 4lbs out of the handicap. Good apprentice gets his 7lb claim here so is technically 11lbs better off. Has a great EW chance. | |||||||||||
66 | 20/01/2018 | 14:00 | Lingfield | EW | Ginger Lady | 15 | 26 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -31.04 |
Poor last time but had shown promise in two previous starts, including a hot Yarmouth maiden on debut. Sire influence for speed and dam stayed 2m2f, so this looks a more suitable trip. Yard had a couple of winners this week and every chance in this. | |||||||||||
65 | 20/01/2018 | 13:25 | Lingfield | EW | Unsuspected Girl | 11 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -25.04 |
Handicap mark has plummeted since win in a claimer under Luke Morris. Has the ability to take this and if jockey can get the best out of him today, is more than capable of outrunning decent odds. | |||||||||||
64 | 20/01/2018 | 12:20 | Lingfield | EW | Intense Style | 19 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -19.04 |
Had form in better company than this last year and was second in a hot race at Doncaster off 5lb higher than today. Fourth on latest start here and a definite contender in this. | |||||||||||
63 | 19/01/2018 | 20:45 | Newcastle | EW | Fly True | 21 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -13.04 |
Victorious over this distance at Kempton in November 2016. Struggled since however including when debuting for this yard last month. Has achieved the best RPR of this field last January and last months run was probably needed. Overpriced in a race that will take little winning. | |||||||||||
62 | 19/01/2018 | 15:20 | Chepstow | EW | Wood Yer | 11 | 10 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -7.04 |
One trip to Chepstow in his career and that visit was over C&D on heavy ground, which he won off 8lbs higher. Although form is a little patchy, has the ability to take this and only carrying 10"9' (with jockey claim) will help in these conditions. | |||||||||||
61 | 19/01/2018 | 13:15 | Musselburgh | EW | Captain Sharpe | 51 | 51 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -1.04 |
Won at Hexham in March over 3m, so should get this trip. Some of career best form is on soft ground as well. Although recent form is not great, inadequate trips and lesser jockey were booked are plausable excuses. Now only 1lb above last winning mark and worth a bet at a huge price. | |||||||||||
60 | 18/01/2018 | 15:45 | Ludlow | EW | Capote | 15 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 4.96 |
Won two of his 3 hurdles runs (both on heavy) and although they were 4 years ago, has had 3 runs this season over fences and jumping has let him down. Return to hurdles a huge plus and fact that connections have persevered points to the fact some ability should remain. | |||||||||||
59 | 18/01/2018 | 14:10 | Wincanton | EW | Dawson City | 11 | 6.5 | 3 | 3rd | 3.00 | 10.96 |
Won a good race here in March off only 2lbs lower by 32 lengths on heavy ground. Had to carry a big weight that day too. Obvious that conditions suit well and this race looks the perfect target. | |||||||||||
58 | 18/01/2018 | 13:20 | Southwell | EW | Bush Beauty | 12 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 7.96 |
Ran well last time out at Wolverhampton under the promising Paula Muir. Very well handicapped on old form and although this is Bush Beauty's first run at Southwell, has ran well on soft and this surface could be the answer to an 18 month losing run. | |||||||||||
57 | 17/01/2018 | 16:00 | Newcastle | EW | Archibelle | 21 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 13.96 |
Now a 13 race maiden, and was trying this trip for the first time when beaten almost 5L (sixth) by Apalis over C&D latest. Dropped 2lb since, so now 6lb better off with the winner. Ran on quite well that day and now we know he stays then could be much more competitive today. | |||||||||||
56 | 17/01/2018 | 15:20 | Lingfield | EW | Mossy's Lodge | 13 | 11 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 19.96 |
Has never run well at Kempton so best to overlook her latest run. Previously an excellent third to a progressive type, Pulsating, at Wolverhampton. Sole victory came here and she looks very competitive under one of the strongest riders in this contest | |||||||||||
55 | 17/01/2018 | 14:50 | Lingfield | EW | Lungarno Palace | 13 | 6 | 3 | 2nd | 4.20 | 25.96 |
Has improved with each run following a lengthy absence and clear signs last time that he was coming to hand. On a career low mark and accustomed to taking on much better company than this | |||||||||||
54 | 16/01/2018 | 15:40 | Hereford | EW | Truckers Highway | 15 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 21.76 |
Prominent racer who is a six time winner over fences, and will appreciate this ease in grade. Capable over both 2m and 2m4f, and was a 33/1 winner off this mark at Worcester in October (2m) | |||||||||||
53 | 16/01/2018 | 14:30 | Hereford | EW | We'll Be There | 15 | 12 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 27.76 |
Produced a career best effort on her handicap debut when beaten just a neck by Rafafie at Chepstow in March (2m3f+ soft). Tailed off on her seasonal reappearance in October (and held by Steel Express), but that run probably neede and still largely unexposed despite her age. | |||||||||||
52 | 16/01/2018 | 14:00 | Hereford | EW | Handsome Sam | 11 | 8 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 33.76 |
Made the frame over C&D last month when just under 10L third to Tb Broke Her, and that represented his best effort since his days with Alan King. Needs to prove that he can put another decent run on his CV but every chance to here. | |||||||||||
51 | 15/01/2018 | 19:40 | Wolverhampton | EW | Your Gifted | 21 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 39.76 |
Not disgraced over C&D the last twice and is slowly working her way down the handicap to a very low mark. Could be very dangerous today. | |||||||||||
50 | 15/01/2018 | 14:50 | Ayr | EW | Forty Crown | 17 | 9 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 45.76 |
Not run over fences since he was with his former yard (John Wade) and despite winning twice over hurdles for this yard has been out of sorts of late. Handicapper has given him a real chance here on hurgles win in February. | |||||||||||
-- | 15/01/2018 | 14:30 | Plumpton | EW | Justification | 11 | 3 | NR | 0.00 | 51.76 | |
Ten-year-old Montjeu gelding was fine winner of novice contest over 2m4f (soft) at Sandown in February ( race worked out very well ). Not as good in two runs back from a break this term, but well worth a try over this new trip with mark sliding | |||||||||||
49 | 15/01/2018 | 14:15 | Ayr | EW | Another Mattie | 17 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 51.76 |
Both his course wins have come with plenty of give in the ground. Capitalised on a falling mark (113) when winning over C&D in March. Back down to that mark today and conditions look ideal. | |||||||||||
48 | 14/01/2018 | 14:55 | Southwell | EW | Cosmelli | 34 | 26 | 2 | W | 79.20 | 57.76 |
Mark has dropped dramatically and this is his easiest task by far. Back to what was his optimum trip in Italy where he won five races and appreciated slow surfaces. Very interesting at a big price. | |||||||||||
47 | 14/01/2018 | 14:45 | Kelso | EW | Nicki's Nipper | 21 | 29 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -21.44 |
Won four times at up to 3m3f for Sam England, her best efforts all being on good ground but has run well on Soft and she is on a winning mark. | |||||||||||
46 | 14/01/2018 | 14:15 | Kelso | EW | Jet Master | 21 | 19 | 2 | 3rd | -4.00 | -17.44 |
Goes on any ground and won a couple of races here in 2014. Effective at up to 2m6½f, 2lb drop here should give him a good chance back over fences. | |||||||||||
45 | 14/01/2018 | 13:40 | Kelso | EW | Katgary | 21 | 19 | 3 | 2nd | 9.00 | -13.44 |
Won on heavy in France, though best form in Britain has been on ground with good in the description but ran really well on Soft in the fighting Fifth at Newcastle when only beaten 12 1/2 lengths by Buveur D'air. | |||||||||||
44 | 13/01/2018 | 15:35 | Warwick | EW | Milansbar | 21 | 13 | 2 | W | 50.00 | -22.44 |
Nicely handicapped on the best of his form, looked to be on the way back with a better effort at Chepstow two starts back but never went a step in the Welsh National last week. Quick turnaround, always capable and first time blinkers and Bryony Frost may do the trick. | |||||||||||
43 | 13/01/2018 | 15:20 | Punchestown | EW | Siempre Amigos | 17 | 7 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -72.44 |
Placed on the Flat (rated 63) but held in three outings in maiden hurdle company to date. Signs there might be more to come when 12th of 24 at Leopardstown last time and up and coming trainer had the topweight in this yesterday. Has a great chance off 93 today. Overpriced. | |||||||||||
42 | 13/01/2018 | 14:40 | Kempton | EW | Bags Groove | 15 | 11 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -66.44 |
Well fancied by Harry Fry to have a good season, and this race could be perfect for him having won over C&D and with give underfoot. It was a good quality race he won last time and a 5lb rise is more than fair. | |||||||||||
41 | 13/01/2018 | 13:25 | Lingfield | EW | George Dryden | 15 | 11 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -60.44 |
Dropped 10lb in the weights since beaten just 3 lengths by Mythmaker back in May. Changed hands for 40,000gns in November and has run well after a break before. | |||||||||||
40 | 13/01/2018 | 12:50 | Lingfield | EW | Iconic Belle | 13 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -54.44 |
Earned a rating of 75 after his maiden's. Interesting now in second run in a class 5 handicap, particularly because trainer form is good at the moment but also running off 62 today including decent apprentice's 5lb claim. | |||||||||||
39 | 13/01/2018 | 12:40 | Warwick | EW | Admiral Kid | 21 | 17 | 2 | L | -4.00 | -48.44 |
Handicap debut today and reappearance. Ran in some good maidens and has been strongly backed at times. Stable in form, and interesting that this is Tom Scudamore's only ride of the day. | |||||||||||
38 | 12/01/2018 | 14:10 | Sedgefield | EW | Eager To Know | 10 | 11 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -44.44 |
Point-to-point winner. Favourite for Musselburgh novice handicap chase (3m, good to soft) and yet to be asked for effort when falling five out. Down in trip and very much respected in this. | |||||||||||
37 | 12/01/2018 | 13:50 | Lingfield | EW | Baby Gal | 15 | 15 | 3 | 3rd | 5.40 | -38.44 |
Ran quite well upped to a mile here last time out, staying on nicely from off the pace and not beaten far. Chance of a bit of improvement at this trip then, and if taking another step forward, could get involved in the race for places at least | |||||||||||
36 | 12/01/2018 | 13:10 | Sedgefield | EW | K O Kenny | 17 | 19 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -43.84 |
Off the track since December 2016, his fitness must be taken on trust on his handicap debut but booking of Will Kennedy a very positive sign (considering Mcain has a runner) and opening mark looks lenient if run behind Hassle in August is a good guide (now rated 135) and slight drop in trip should help. | |||||||||||
35 | 11/01/2018 | 21:00 | Chelmsford City | EW | Drop Kick Murphi | 21 | 8 | 3 | 3rd | 9.00 | -37.84 |
Tumbled down the handicap this year, but signs of a revival last time out at Nottingham. Todays race is a huge step down in class from February's run over 6f at Lingfield when only beaten 7 lengths off 26lbs higher. Today is return to AW having been raced on unsuitable softer turf since. | |||||||||||
34 | 11/01/2018 | 14:50 | Leicester | EW | Edward Elgar | 17 | 7 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -46.84 |
Handles cut in the ground well and although hasn’t won a handicap over fences, is on a decent mark and todays conditions could suit perfectly on a track he likes. | |||||||||||
33 | 11/01/2018 | 14:35 | Catterick | EW | Alto Des Mottes | 17 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -40.84 |
Carries 5lbs less than when second in this race 2 years ago due to decent jockey 3lb claim. Conditions to suit and inadequate trip a valid excuse for below par reappearance. Overpriced. | |||||||||||
32 | 10/01/2018 | 15:25 | Lingfield | EW | Swift Fox | 8.5 | 6 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -34.84 |
Decent form in last 2 starts since blinkers added and facing more exposed older horses today as the only 3yo in the field. | |||||||||||
31 | 10/01/2018 | 15:00 | Ludlow | EW | Goohar | 11 | 12 | 3 | 2nd | 3.60 | -28.84 |
In-form trainer would clearly like to win this race which sports his name and he has a candidate capable of doing so. Highly tried of late but now just 1lb above his last winning mark and into a class where he is 2-4 | |||||||||||
30 | 10/01/2018 | 13:10 | Lingfield | EW | Violet's Lads | 13 | 5 | 3 | 2nd | 2.56 R4 | -32.44 |
Filly has only had three starts on AW surfaces and looks capable of registering a win soon. Twice gone well over this C&D in recent months and, with another 2lb back, should be in the mix. | |||||||||||
29 | 09/01/2018 | 14:35 | Doncaster | EW | Grand Turina | 41 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -35.00 |
Has looked a different horse on soft ground, most notably when beating Count Meribel at Warwick in March. That one now rated rated 143 and although was getting 10lbs, the 7l beating and the fact Grand Turina now races off 118 is a huge positive. | |||||||||||
28 | 09/01/2018 | 14:10 | Taunton | EW | Moss On The Mill | 19 | 17 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -29.00 |
Likely that his comeback run was needed at Ludlow, and form of Wincanton win in March is easily good enough to take this. Now a 10yo and seems to handle a bit of cut in the ground now. Looks likely to run well for in form stable. | |||||||||||
27 | 09/01/2018 | 12:35 | Taunton | EW | Kristal Hart | 15 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -23.00 |
Not an easy task two runs back against Our Merlin who has proved very well handicapped since. That form is quite good in the context of this race and is now 3lbs lower. If you put a line through his last run, is consistently good enough to take this. | |||||||||||
26 | 08/01/2018 | 17:45 | Wolverhampton | EW | Takbeer | 17 | 5.5 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -17.00 |
Won and placed on turf in the summer but held on his return to the AW over an extended 2m here last month. Drop in trip looks likely to suit and just 2lb above last winning mark. Could make all from handy draw here | |||||||||||
-- | 08/01/2018 | 16:00 | Hereford | EW | Yellow Kangaroo | 13 | 3 | NR | 0.00 | -11.00 | |
Makes his handicap debut for a shrewd yard and given his pedigree and his form in his only bumper he's of interest here. Handicapping off a lowly mark over an increased trip in a first-time tongue tie makes him very interesting.in this. | |||||||||||
-- | 08/01/2018 | 14:00 | Hereford | EW | Sahara Haze | 23 | 3 | NR | 0.00 | -11.00 | |
Still yet to win over hurdles despite showing some promise on occasions. Not beaten far in last 3 runs on slow ground and has place claims at the very least at a price. | |||||||||||
25 | 08/01/2018 | 13:45 | Fontwell | EW | Thundering Home | 21 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -11.00 |
Veteran was in super form in the spring, at one stage winning three from four starts, latest off 103 over 2m1f (good at Exeter). Not shown that level of form since coming back in but assessor has taken a chance with 5lb drop now down to 95. | |||||||||||
24 | 07/01/2018 | 14:35 | Plumpton | EW | Coolking | 13 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -5.00 |
Last 3 runs were on ground that was too quick. Last 3 runs on heavy were all winning ones. Only 2lbs higher than the latest of them, Looks very likely to run very well under preferred conditions. | |||||||||||
23 | 07/01/2018 | 14:05 | Plumpton | EW | Snippetydoodah | 15 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 1.00 |
Form of C&D win in February has been nicely advertised. That was under todays exact conditions and although 6lbs higher, that probably wouldn't have stopped Snippetydoodah that day. Lightly raced and still has potential off this mark. | |||||||||||
22 | 07/01/2018 | 13:35 | Plumpton | EW | Larry | 15 | 7 | 3 | 2nd | 5.40 | 7.00 |
Form of Lingfield novice is good with first two in particular very good. Probably did too much to stay with them early. Step up in trip looks a positive, and trainer should always be feared here. | |||||||||||
21 | 06/01/2018 | 15:45 | Wincanton | EW | Ballyheigue Bay | 17 | 21 | 2 | L | -4.00 | 1.60 |
Trip versatile and hinted at a return to form at Lingfield on his return from a break. Now back to his highest winning handicap mark over hurdles and so clearly has a chance on his best form. | |||||||||||
20 | 06/01/2018 | 15:30 | Lingfield | EW | Iconic Belle | 21 | 26 | 2 | L | -4.00 | 5.60 |
Earned a rating of 75 after his maiden's. Interesting now into a class 5 handicap, particularly because trainer form is good at the moment but also running off 63 today including decent apprentice's 5lb claim. | |||||||||||
19 | 06/01/2018 | 15:00 | Sandown | EW | No Duffer | 26 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 9.60 |
Disappointed on reappearance at Chepstow but yard going well at the moment, and he is a C&D winner that has gone well after a short break before. Every chance of bouncing back and is way overpriced. | |||||||||||
18 | 06/01/2018 | 14:05 | Chepstow | EW | Milansbar | 17 | 15 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 15.60 |
Best effort in two starts this season came when finishing third to Wild West Wind on heavy ground here last month. Races off the same mark today which makes him 7lb better off for 2 3/4 lengths and the step up in trip and forecast underfoot conditions should both suit. | |||||||||||
17 | 06/01/2018 | 13:20 | Sandown | EW | Never Up | 15 | 15 | 3 | 3rd | 5.40 | 21.60 |
Stable seems to be improving at the moment and Never Up will handle todays conditions well. Only 2lbs higher than when winning gamely at Carlisle which bodes well for this testing right handed track. | |||||||||||
16 | 06/01/2018 | 13:15 | Lingfield | EW | Varsovian | 11 | 7 | 3 | 2nd | 3.00 | 16.20 |
Doesnt appear to be much pace on here, so if he can get a good position from outside draw, should run well. Stable in great form at the moment which is also a plus. | |||||||||||
15 | 05/01/2018 | 20:15 | Kempton | EW | Kadrizzi | 10 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | 13.20 |
Starting to look dangerously well handicapped on the best of his form being 13lb lower than last win in August '16. Wasn't disgraced last time when beaten 3 lengths in a class 3 and must have a chance in this. | |||||||||||
14 | 05/01/2018 | 14:40 | Southwell | EW | Kody Ridge | 23 | 17 | 3 | W | 79.20 | 19.20 |
Won a couple on turf over this trip last summer and was bought by this yard when winning a Leicester seller; subsequently won a Ripon handicap off 67. Back up in trip here and only 3lb higher and looks overpriced. | |||||||||||
13 | 05/01/2018 | 12:55 | Southwell | EW | Peas On Earth | 17 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -60.00 |
Makes her debut here having shown her first form last time coming back from a three month break at Wolverhampton over 5f from 6lb out of the handicap. Races off right mark here and the sire/stable have had some success here. | |||||||||||
12 | 04/01/2018 | 16:05 | Wolverhampton | EW | Charlie's Dreamer | 26 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -54.00 |
Step up in trip didn’t work last time out, however shaped with promise until fading in the kickback. Possible he is simply better on tapeta (ran well at Newcastle over 6f). Luke Morris up again. | |||||||||||
11 | 04/01/2018 | 14:25 | Wolverhampton | EW | Prince Consort | 12 | 10 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -48.00 |
Brian Meehan doesn’t have many runners at Wolverhampton so should be taken seriously. Has the form to be involved and should be better than this handicap mark. | |||||||||||
10 | 04/01/2018 | 13:30 | Newcastle | EW | Hugoigo | 26 | 34 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -42.00 |
What he has done in maidens is uninspiring however, this is weaker and has an easy opening handicap mark, stable in better form, and promises to stay the extra half mile on breeding. Gets an extra 5lbs off as a 4yo in this race too. | |||||||||||
9 | 03/01/2018 | 14:30 | Musselburgh | EW | Show's Over | 17 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -36.00 |
Won over 2m6½f over fences, though yet to convince over 3m. However, pedigree strongly suggests that he should get the trip, especially on ground that is not too testing. On very competitive mark and good claims on return to hurdles under Jodie Hughes who takes 7lb off. | |||||||||||
8 | 03/01/2018 | 14:00 | Musselburgh | EW | Toarmandowithlove | 12 | 6.5 | 3 | 4th | -6.00 | -30.00 |
0-24 over hurdles. Made late gains when no chance of winning at Catterick last month. Drops 2lb going into this and feather weight to carry, so on ground that she acts on, place claims at the very least. | |||||||||||
7 | 03/01/2018 | 12:40 | Southwell | EW | Bohemian Rhapsody | 12 | 26 | 3 | 3rd | 12.00 | -24.00 |
Looks very well treated on his old Flat form and has looked to be working his way back in his last few runs (last two over hurdles). Could well be of interest if he can continue that progress and takes to this new surface with his pedigree giving hope that he acts on it | |||||||||||
6 | 02/01/2018 | 16:10 | Newcastle | EW | Alexandrakollontai | 17 | 26 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -36.00 |
Well suited by this straight mile on tapeta and always seems to perform well on it. Recent form has been ok and has a great record under Rowan Scott who gets his 3lb claim. | |||||||||||
5 | 02/01/2018 | 14:10 | Ayr | EW | Valzan | 21 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -30.00 |
Not lived up to form in France prior to Rebecca Menzies taking over, however handicap mark is surely workable now. Is a stone better off with Lochnell from last time out and was only beaten 13l. | |||||||||||
4 | 02/01/2018 | 13:00 | Ayr | EW | Letemgo | 9 | 8 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -24.00 |
Has been threatening to win a race, and todays conditions will suit perfectly. Getting good conditional jockeys claim today so technically 5lb better off than last time out. | |||||||||||
3 | 01/01/2018 | 13:55 | Fakenham | EW | Crookstown | 15 | 13 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -18.00 |
Not as good as he once was, but goes on any ground and stays 2m4f on a flat track. 12lb lower here than when winning over fences at Haydock in May and has a chance in this judged on hurdles run at Market Rasen from 3lb higher in November.. | |||||||||||
2 | 01/01/2018 | 13:05 | Musselburgh | EW | Fly Vinnie | 17 | 12 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -12.00 |
Now 10lb higher than when easily winning over C&D in November, however then threw in the towel from three out off this mark at Carlisle last month but that was a class 2. Capable of being involved if bouncing back in this and has three wins at the track to his name. | |||||||||||
1 | 01/01/2018 | 13:00 | Catterick | EW | Pumaflor | 13 | 21 | 3 | L | -6.00 | -6.00 |
Wasn't particularly impressive on handicap debut last time out but has been dropped 3lb and wasn't helped by his jumping on that occasion. Has the potential to do better here with tongue strap added | |||||||||||
