Email Service

Similar to the last couple of years, I am running an EMAIL ONLY SERVICE from October to December exclusively. To give new clients an idea of what is on offer, I have included some examples from last year’s service.

The service will run for 3 months (ie. October, November & December) with the option of buying each month at £30 or £75 for all 3 (save £15).

OCTOBER 2016 – 2 WINNERS FROM 4 RUNNERS

Friday 14^th         THROTHETHATCH (Advised @ 7/4)                    1^ST        11/8

Saturday 15^th     RAVENHILL ROAD (Advised @ 3/1)                   1^ST        Evens

"Saturday 15th “The bumper at Market Rasen tomorrow has divided and, whilst working at Carlisle on Thursday I spoke to Brian Ellison. The Malton trainer is represented in both divisions and he passed on some very positive news regarding former Irish pointer RAVENHILL ROAD, who contests the second division at 5.05. A five year old gelding by Exit To Nowhere, he was a fifteen lengths winner of his only point at Broughshane in early May (Good) for Stuart Crawford. Subsequently bought for £100,000 at the Doncaster May Sales on behalf of Phil Martin, expert Declan Phelan wrote in his Irish point dossier: “£100,000 is the price this chestnut commanded at the Doncaster May Sales: eleven days earlier he had made a winning debut at Broughshane (g/f). In that race, against very exposed poor opposition, he was always swinging on the bridle and once asked to lead at the second last, in a matter of a hundred yards he opened up a big margin on the field, winning eased down by fifteen lengths. Rating horses who trounce poor opponents is pure guesswork. On this evidence he should win a good ground bumper and will win maiden/novice hurdles on the northern circuit. Brian Ellison has an excellent record with Irish pointers, so it is conceivable that this five year old could easily become one of the top ten novice hurdlers based in the north this season.” Brian told me yesterday that he considers Ravenhill Road to be in a different league to his runner in the first division, Instant Replay. He described the gelding as a class act, who has been working brilliantly with 140 rated horses at home. He will be very disappointed if he doesn’t go close. The ground at the Lincolnshire venue is currently described as good to soft and more rain is forecast overnight. An easy surface would be an unknown but his dam (Zaffarella) won on soft twice and heavy for Lucinda Russell in 2009 and 2010. The fact he is a five year old is a plus, too, because his main dangers, namely Mister Whitaker, Test Pilot and Temple Man are only four. Brian has trained two winners this month suggesting his team are in decent form and seven pounds conditional Kaine Wood, who is on board, rode a bumper winner at Southwell earlier this month (he has also ridden 8 winners on the Flat). I suggest backing Ravenhill Road each-way at 3/1.” " SELECTION: RAVENHILL ROAD (3/1 Bet365, BetVictor, Coral, Paddy Power, Skybet, William Hill) 5.05 Market Rasen WON by 14 lengths @ Evens

"Friday 14th “The former Lucinda Russell trained THROTHETHATCH has his first run for Dan Skelton in the opening handicap hurdle at Fakenham tomorrow (2.05). The seven year old runs off a lenient looking mark of 111, and is reportedly in fine form at home having completed his preparation with a good work out on Tuesday morning. Rated five pounds lower over timber compared to fences, the seven year old was a three times winner last term and goes well fresh (217 days). A five lengths winner from Morning Royalty at Haydock in December, receiving eight pounds, Jimmy Moffatt’s runner-up has won twice since and is now rated 135 over fences. Absence since finishing second at Ayr in March, the ex-Irish pointer was transferred to Skelton during the summer. Dan told me when we spoke in August that the gelding has undergone a wind operation and more improvement should be forthcoming (wears a tongue tie for the first time). The stable sent out Return Flight to win at Southwell earlier this month on his first run for the yard and there is plenty of stable confidence behind Throthethatch in tomorrow’s eleven runner two and a half mile handicap hurdle.” " SELECTION: THROTHETHATCH (7/4 William Hill) 2.05 Fakenham WON @ 11/8

NOVEMBER 2016 – 2 WINNERS FROM 4 RUNNERS

Wednesday 9^th MESSIRE DES OBEAUX                                  1^st         6/4

Friday 18^th         CLAIMANTAKINFORGAN (Advised @ 11/4)        1^ST        11/4

"“Talking of the Top 40 Prospects, there are no less than 4 runners at Haydock Park tomorrow and I can report a lot of stable confidence behind CLAIMANTAKINFORGAN in the concluding bumper at 3.45. Three different sources have described the former Irish pointers as a smart prospect and he is fully expected to get his Rules career off to the best possible start. Irish point expert Declan Phelan wrote in One Jump Ahead: “This gelding suffered an abrupt end to his Inch debut…slipping up on the flat inside the first two hundred yards: happily, he atoned in no uncertain manner on Easter Monday: contesting what is traditionally one of the best northern area four year old maidens at Loughanmore, he took apart a field of fancied opponents. Leading from three out, he steadily upped the ante and dropped his dangers one by one to pull clear from the final fence for an authoritative five lengths success on the yielding to soft terrain. He hinted in this display that he is equipped with many of the qualities a top jumper requires: clean jumping, powerful gallop, resolute attitude, and running to the line with vigour. Joining Nicky Henderson via a £110,000 sales ring transaction, it is more than conceivable that he may figure in Graded staying novice hurdles this winter, winning at Grade 1 level is attainable.”" SELECTION: CLAIMANTAKINFORGAN (11/4 Bet365, 5/2 Betfred, BetVictor, Paddy Power, Skybet, Totesport) 3.45 Haydock. WON @ 11/4

"“The Email Service could do with a winner so I am hoping one of my chief contributors Anthony Bromley has pointed us in the right direction. As many subscribers will be aware, Anthony is racing manager for leading owner Simon Munir and he is confident MESSIRE DES OBEAUX will win the two and a half miles handicap hurdle at Bangor tomorrow (3.00). Below are Alan King’s comments regarding the four year old on page 97 of One Jump Ahead: “A potentially high-class horse who has size and scope. Still a novice over hurdles, he arrived from France quite late last year and ran two good races for us. We threw him in at the deep end by contesting the Victor Ludorum and Fred Winter Hurdles at Haydock and Cheltenham respectively. Third on the first occasion, he then finished seventh at the Festival. Dropped four pounds since, he has been bought by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede during the summer. He will continue over two miles and there are plenty of options for him. I love him.” Given such comments, a mark of 128 looks lenient to say the least and, bearing in mind Messire Des Obeaux is a full brother to Paul Nicholls’ Cheltenham Festival runner-up Bouvreuil, he ought to improve for the step up to two and a half miles for the first time. The ground at the Welsh track is currently described as good (watered) but there is significant rainfall forecast this evening and overnight. Anthony texted me to say he won’t run if the ground is too quick but he is expecting it to be on the soft side by racetime.” " SELECTION: MESSIRE DES OBEAUX (6/4 Skybet, 11/8 Bet365, Ladbrokes, William Hill) 3.00 Bangor. WON by 10 lengths @ 6/4

DECEMBER 2016 – 1 WINNERS FROM 4 RUNNERS

Sunday 11^th       AMERICAN TOM (Advised @ 5/2)                      1^st         Evens

"“Leading owner Rich Ricci texted me last Saturday evening suggesting I keep an eye out for his novice chaser AMERICAN TOM. The ex-French gelding is declared to run in the two mile beginners’ chase at Punchestown on Sunday (2.35). Rich said: “They tell me this lad is a proper machine.” If that is the case, he looks well worth backing tomorrow. Absent for 386 days, he won over hurdles at Gowran last season before injury intervened. Entered in Grade 1 events at Leopardstown over Christmas over two and three miles, he is already prominent in the ante-post lists for the Cheltenham Festival novice races. I think it is significant Ruby Walsh heads to Punchestown rather than to partner Douvan at Cork.”" SELECTION: AMERICAN TOM (5/2 Paddy Power, William Hill 9/4 Bet365, Skybet) 2.35 Punchestown
