Cleeve Notebook horses – w/c 26th February

Horse: Rising Marienbard (6-y-o bay gelding) Trainer: Lucinda Russell (pictured) Notes: This six-year-old was making his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh and I thought it was a run of some promise. Lucinda Russell doesn’t have too many handicap debutant winners and they can take some time to come to hand. This one was held up…

It was the best weeks punting at the festival that I’ve ever had

Hello and thanks for the great Cheltenham coverage. It was the best week’s punting at the festival that I’ve ever had. Your research is top class and you obviously work hard at it. I also like the way you don’t punt when not pretty sure…I like your overall approach very much, the analysis is excellent,…

Cleeve members selections – Sunday 25th February

Hi everyone, not much luck today with our selections. We had 4 selections in 3 races and only managed a place with Go Conquer running a decent race in the Betdaq Handicap. So a 3.5 point loss on the day but with Rene’s Girl winning on Thursday we still booked a 4.5 point profit on…

Cleeve members selections – Saturday 24th February

Hi everyone, We didn’t have a selection today but the race we provided the ratings for gave the Skelton’s another winner in Cobra De Mai. We knew the break wouldn’t be an issue, but it seems the recent wind operation has had the desired effect as Cobra De Mai won stepping up in distance and class. We…

Cleeve members selections – 23rd February

Hi everyone, a welcome winner today in Rene’s Girl at a nice BOG price of 4/1. She drifted all day (which is normally not a good sign), but defied the market and came out a worthy winner. Desert Queen as usual was up to her antics and consented to start but then pulled her way to…

Cleeve members selections – 22nd February

Hi everyone, We didn’t have a selection today in the veterans handicap but it was a great race to watch. There were 3 in contention at the last with Band of Blood coming out on top after pulling away on the run in defying his 7lb penalty. A great training performance from Dr Newland running…

Cleeve members selections – 21st Febraury

Hi everyone, We did post the review of Saturday on Monday you can read it here. There is a Class 2 race tomorrow at Doncaster, but its a veteran’s race so not normally the kind of race we would be getting involved in. Its great to see these kind of races put on for the…

Cleeve Notebook horses – w/c 19th February

Horse: Flemerina (9-y-o bay mare) Trainer: Sue Smith Notes: This mare was running in only her second chase at Market Rasen where she gave the strong impression she will be winning over fences when stepped back up in trip. Her best hurdles form has been in testing conditions at around 3m, and in the end…

Cleeve selections review – Saturday 17th February

Hi there, Well Saturday was a very trying day, with technical gremlins bedeviling our normal race analysis meaning that our morning’s work was a complete waste of time. Watching the racing it felt like it might be ‘one of those days’ but fortunately we all saw the value of waiting patiently (pardon the pun) and…
