Cleeve members selections – Saturday 27th November
Good morning everyone, we had two selections yesterday and here are my thoughts. Fanion D’Estruval raced prominently in behind the leader, he took it up 3 out and never looked like being beaten after that.

Good morning everybody, we had one selection on Tuesday and here is a short review. Ajero was held up behind the pace and he was out paced 3 out before running on, but made no real impression on the placed horses after 2 out… for me, Ajero who had dropped 2 grades disappointed here. We…
