Palace Pier won his third Group 1 race of his illustrious career with a dominate display in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Saturday. John Gosden's four year old had looked as good as ever when routing three rivals by upwards of eight lengths in the Group 2 Bet365 Mile at Sandown last month and he produced an even better display here. Frankie Dettori took a nonchalant look over his shoulder appr...
Hurricane Lane extended his unbeaten record to three wins when capturing the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York. Charlie Appleby's colt had beaten Maximal in a ten furlongs conditions event at Newbury last month and stepped up on that performance as he tackled Pattern company for the first time. Aidan O'Brien's Roman Empire ensured the race was run at a decent tempo with Hollie Doyle sending her mount f...
Starman provided Ed Walker with his first domestic Group 2 winner when capturing the Duke of York Stakes on the opening day of the Dante Festival at York. The son of Dutch Art won three of his four starts last term, including the Listed Garrowby Stakes over course and distance in September, and he looks to have improved again as a four year old. Partnered for the first time in public by champion j...
Following 38mm of rain between Monday and Thursday, the heavens opened once again on Saturday morning which ensured it was testing ground for Haydock Park's mixed meeting. Unfortunately, that didn't do my selection for the Swinton Hurdle, namely Ballinsker, any favours. Evan Williams' gelding attempted to make all the running and was still in front between the final two flights. The game was up so...
The frustrating start to the season for the Top 40 Prospects in Ahead On The Flat continued on Friday with King's Lynn failing to reel in the front running El Astronaute in the five furlongs conditions stakes at Chester. Andrew Balding's four year old had run well behind Came From The Dark at Newbury on his reappearance and was strongly supported beforehand. However, the Queen's gelding was unable...
Both Andrew Balding and Tim Easterby have been in splendid form this spring and they were both amongst the winners on the opening day of Chester's May meeting. Youthful Spirit (15/2) had finished fourth over nine furlongs in the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket last month and the son of Camelot appreciated the step up to a mile and a half in the Group 3 Chester Vase. Ridden by Tom Marquand, he outstaye...

The curtain came down on the 2020/2021 National Hunt season at Sandown at the end of last month and the Punchestown Festival brought the Irish campaign to a conclusion on Saturday. It is therefore an appropriate time to post the end of season statistics for One Jump Ahead and the various sections.
The Top 40 Prospects - 55 winners from 145 runners (38%). There were 8 Grade 1 winners, namely Bally...
Mother Earth provided Aidan O'Brien with his seventh win in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday and his fifth victory in the last six years. A daughter of Zoffany, she had some smart form last year being placed in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Group 1 Fillies' Mile over course and distance and runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf at Keeneland last Autumn. Despite that,...
The Top 40 Prospects in Ahead On The Flat has made a lousy start to the season and the trend continued on Saturday with a couple of very disappointing performances. Despite being heavily backed beforehand, Battleground produced a tame effort in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Frankie Dettori's mount appeared to be going well at halfway but once the pace increased, he dropped out of contention quick...
