Cleeve members selections – Thursday 30th December

Good Morning everybody, we had three selections yesterday and here is a short review. Dashel Dasher made every yard of this contest, I thought approaching the last that he may get reeled in, he stayed on bravely for the win. The Cob who had good C&D form on soft going just did not go today…

Cleeve members selections- Wednesday 29th December

Good Morning everybody, we had three selections on Monday and here are my thoughts. Franky Du Berlais was given every chance, he led or raced prominently to 4 out where he gradually faded out of contention. He ran as his odds implied he would. Porticello won easily enough despite not jumping fluently at a couple…

Cleeve members selections – Monday 27th December

Good Morning everybody, we had three selections on what proved to be a difficult boxing day. Empire Steel I thought was going well before falling 4 out. He did at the time look the likely winner but in reality, it was too far out to say for sure. Empire Steel will remain of interest off…

Good morning everybody, we had one selection on Wednseday. Fidelio Vallis took it up from the start, he got the very first fence all wrong, blundering through it. He did not jump fluently thereafter and ultimately paid the price in the latter stages of this contest fading after 2 out. We have 3 selections today…

Sully D’oc AA who ran well here last month has now disappointed twice, he made a couple of mistakes and never really threatened, frustratingly finishing 5th and just outside our 4 places. Remastered led or disputed the lead for much of…

Cleeve members selections – 16th December

Good Morning everybody, we had one selection yesterday and here are my thoughts. Chilli Filli who we thought had Silver Forever to beat ran her race and I thought ran well under a 4lb penalty, but she was no match for Silver Forever who looks to be a very smart prospect indeed. The expression “bumped…

Cleeve members selections – Wednesday 15th December

Hi everyone, We had 3 selections on Saturday and here are my thoughts. Sceau Royal was a little disappointing but maybe the fact that this was his 4th run in 2 months took its toll and he tired in the final stages. I think he will be better next time out if given a break.…

Good morning everybody, we had two selections yesterday and here is a short review. Santini raced up with the eventual winner for most of this contest, he did fade from 3 out under topweight. Santini may come on some for the run, the trainer was quoted as saying most of mine come on for the…
