Al Dancer provided Nigel Twiston-Davies with his third win in the rescheduled Betfair Hurdle at Ascot continuing the excellent recent record of novices in the two miles event. Tipped in the February Update, the grey was racing off a twelve pounds higher mark than when winning at Cheltenham in December. However, it wasn't enough to prevent the six year old from making it four out of four over timbe...
With there being no prospect of racing in the UK before Wednesday next week at the earliest, due to the recent outbreak of equine flu, I have started interviewing for Ahead On The Flat. On Friday, I spoke to Roger Charlton and went through his string for 2019. Champion apprentice Jason Watson was appointed the Beckhampton trainer's new stable jockey at the end of last year and he has a lot to look...
Glittering Love (2/1) was nominated as a horse to follow in the November Update and Nicky Richards' gelding made it three wins from as many starts over fences at Ayr on Wednesday. The former pointer had previously scored at Hexham and Ayr off marks of 92 and 101 and he defied another five pounds rise. Contesting the three miles handicap chase, the Winged Love gelding was always to the fore and too...
The entries for the Cheltenham Festival handicaps will be published later this month and it is worth highlighting some of the most noteworthy revised ratings following the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown last weekend.
Dallas Des Pictons, who was flagged up as a likely sort for the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle in the February Update, was raised seven pounds following his...
Jeremy is responsible for some promising youngsters this season, including Birchdale, Jerrysback and Mister Fisher, and he is also the sire of Bold Plan (6/4). One of Declan Phelan's Irish Pointers in One Jump Ahead, Evan Williams' charge ran well at Newbury on his hurdles debut in November before disappointing next time at Southwell. Given a break of 62 days, the five year old returned to action ...
Rated 109 on the Flat and third behind Stradivarius in Group 2 company at Ascot last October, Sir Erec made it two wins from two starts over timber when routing six opponents in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown. Joseph O'Brien's charge had been workmanlike in victory over the same course and distance at Christmas but never looked like relinquishing his lead on this occasion. The ...
One Jump Ahead enjoyed an excellent afternoon at Leopardstown on the opening day of the Dublin Racing Festival. I hope February Update subscribers took the advice on page 3 and supported Commander of Fleet (13/2) in the Grade 1 novice hurdle. Gordon Elliott's gelding had found two miles too sharp in the Royal Bond NH at Fairyhouse in December and appreciated the step up to two miles six at the Dub...
Thanks to the inclement weather we have been without any jump racing for a couple of days but all being well Sandown will get the go ahead on Saturday and we are able to enjoy two tremendous days racing at Leopardstown's Dublin Racing Festival, including eight Grade 1 events.
During the last 48 hours I have been in contact with two leading owners re two horses featured in...
I have emailed the February Update to clients this afternoon (2.29pm). If anyone hasn't received it, please let me know as soon as possible. There is still time to order a copy (£6.00). The 19 pages Update takes a look at the forthcoming Cheltenham Festival handicaps, plus the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Expert Declan Phelan has highlighted the pick of the Irish pointers from the Autumn and t...
Andy Dufresne was one of expert Declan Phelan's Irish Pointers in One Jump Ahead and the gelded son of Doyen looked a horse of considerable potential when making a winning start to his Rules career at Down Royal on Tuesday. Purchased for £330,000 in March last year having won his only point-to-point, he was sporting the famous silks of J.P.McManus in the concluding bumper. Keen during t...
