Good morning everyone, we had just the one selection on Thursday in Greengage who raced midfield and always looked to be going easily and once sent to the lead he quickly sealed the race in taking fashion to win by nearly 4 lengths. Oh if it was that easy every time!! Its a pity Cheltenham is…

Good morning everyone., we had 3 selections on Tuesday and here are my thoughts on their performance. King Of Stars disputed the lead with Thegreatestshowman and I think they cut each other’s throats and set it up for the closers in Mulzim and Duke Of Firenze. Jazz Legend led but was headed 2 furlong’s from…

Hi everyone, sometimes it’s hard to convey in words one’s feelings but yesterday after a somewhat chaotic start of the “is it on is it off ” meeting at Plumpton I thought Andy Irvine did an absolutely sterling job after the last race. He held it together so well after Mr Jack won, paying tribute…

Good morning everyone, we had just the one selection on Sunday. You may have thought Born To Finish broke poorly but this is done by design as the horse needs to be held up to run his race. Born To Finish raced in rear before making his move just before the furlong marker coming with…

Good morning everyone, we had 3 selections on Saturday here are my thoughts. I will always try to be honest in my assessment of how the horses ran win or lose, I do not try to make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear. Amour De Nuit ran very poorly, was held up but…

Hello there, Good morning everyone. We had 2 selections earlier in the week and here are my honest thoughts. Ardmayle was very disappointing being hard ridden quite away from home with very little response, dropping away tamely and eventually being pulled up when tailed off before 2 out. Cold Harbour was held up and got…

Good morning everyone, we had 2 selections on Monday starting with Final Fling who did seem to be travelling well enough but did not find much once asked, I thought he was given an easy ride once there was no chance of the win. Athmad ran his race and maybe he was held in a…

Good morning everyone, we had 2 selections on Sunday and here are my thoughts on how they ran. Katheefa tracked the pace before taking it up a furlong from home and at that point, I did think he would win but he looked to find no extra in the last half-furlong to be beaten under…

Good morning everyone, we had four selections on Saturday the first being Cafe Sydney who was given a peach of a ride by Luke Morris who pushed the horse along 2 furlongs from home before being switched right and running on strongly to win going away at the finish. Our second selection Apollinaris was very…
