Cleeve members selections – Saturday 28th April
Hi everyone, well, it’s our last day of Jumps action for this season and the last few weeks have been difficult, to say the least. As long-term members know we never hype our successes and don’t hide from our failures as honesty and transparency are our watchwords. Still, no matter what happens tomorrow we will come out way…

Hi everyone, our first selection Speredek has only one way of running and that’s choke full out from the front but David Noonan didn’t get a great position from the off and had to bustle him up to get him up front. He went for home a long way out and the earlier exertions took…

Hi everyone, Our selection today Woodland Opera was a big disappointment and ran the worst race of his career for me. He never went a yard and I thought something must be amiss and he would be pulled up. But Robbie Power persevered, to no avail and he plugged on to finish 9th. What a day…

Hi everyone, We had 4 selections on Saturday with just one placed horse and 3 losers and haven’t had a winner for nearly two weeks now. In saying that we have had over 30% of our selections placed over that period and just a couple of those going in would make all the difference on the…

Both were very disappointing to say the least and the writing was on the wall for our first selection Cracking Find who drifted like the proverbial barge in the market out…

Horse: Theflyingportrait (9yo Grey Gelding) Trainer: Jennie Candlish Notes: This bold jumping front-running handicap chaser is usually worth keeping onside over the summer months. He returned at Aintree after 166 days off, unfancied at 25/1, and seemingly in need of the run. Give the length of the break he went surprisingly well until 3 out,…

Hi everyone, Another placed selection today with Petticoat Tails. As I said yesterday we just can’t seem to get in the winner’s enclosure at the moment, but I am happy that we clawed back a small profit today which is better than a loser. Again the winner of the race returned 20/1! She ran OK but…

Hi everyone, we seem to have hit a bit of a flat spot lately, but as long-term members know this is not something to be too worried about. Also as we said earlier in the week it’s more difficult at this time of the year with horses going over the top after a hard season,…

Our 4 selections on the day produced 1 loser and 3 places giving us a profit of 3.25 points. Our first selection Golan Heights was very disappointing and was being pushed along before two out and…
