Nicky Henderson has won the Skybet Supreme Novices' Hurdle on three occasions, River Ceiriog (1986), Flown (1992) and Altior (2016) and the former champion trainer may have another live contender for the 2020 version if Shishkin's victory at Newbury on Wednesday is anything to go by. Purchased for £170,000 in December 2018 having won the second of his two Irish points, the Sholokhov gelding ...
Kimberlite Candy (9/2) provided Herefordshire trainer Tom Lacey with his biggest success to date when winning the Warwick Classic Chase by ten lengths. The eight year old had produced a career best on his reappearance when finishing second in the Becher Chase at Aintree last month. Raised three pounds since, he sat in behind long time leader Captain Chaos for much of the contest and took over at t...
It proved to be another productive afternoon for followers of One Jump Ahead on Friday with Top 40 Prospects entry Linelee King (5/6) and Hill Sixteen (Handicap Snips) both scoring at Sedgefield. The former had finished runner-up on his Rules debut at Chepstow in late October and hadn't been seen since. Olly Murphy's former Irish pointer wasn't hard pressed to go one better in the first division o...
The Top 40 Prospects in One Jump Ahead continued its decent run of form with Mick Pastor (6/4) returning to winning ways in the opening juvenile hurdle at Ludlow on Wednesday. The ex-French gelding, who had beaten a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Auteuil, was far too keen on his British debut at Cheltenham in November and was also found to have choked. Given a break and fitted with a tongue tie, Pau...
Taunton staged the first hunter chase in the UK in 2020 and it was won in spectacular fashion by Wishing And Hoping. Highlighted as a hunter chaser to follow in the Christmas Special, Philip Rowley's gelding galloped his opponents into submission with a powerful display. A five lengths winner, his performance was all the more remarkable due to the fact he jumped markedly to his left for much of th...
Envoi Allen and Le Cameleon provided the Top 40 Prospects in One Jump Ahead with another couple of winners during the last 24 hours. Gordon Elliott's Festival bumper winner made it three out of three over timber when winning the Grade 1 Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle on Sunday. Stepping up to two and a half miles for the first time since his pointing career, Davy Russell's mount sat in behind Elix...
Marown looks another nice long-term prospect for Nicky Richards if his hurdles debut at Ayr on Thursday is anything to go by. A big strapping gelding by Milan, he won his only bumper at Newcastle in March looking a strong stayer in the process. Tackling two and a half miles for his jumping bow, Brian Hughes' mount jumped well, especially over the last three flights, before running on strongly to b...
Good fortune had desserted Midnight Shadow for the majority of 2019 but Sue Smith's stable star enjoyed a change of fortunes on the first day of 2020 when taking advantage of Champs's fall at the second last in the Grade 2 Dipper Novices' Chase at Cheltenham. The former Scottish Champion Hurdle winner looked booked for the runners-up berth once again when left in front at the penultimate fence. De...
Leading owners Rich and Susannah Ricci rounded off 2019 in the perfect way with a double at Punchestown on Tuesday. Salsaretta made it two out of two over fences when winning the two and a half miles mares' chase by three and a quarter lengths. A big strapping mare, she has taken well to the larger obstacles and, while effective over this trip, she stays further. Burrows Saint, who was well held i...
Sharjah claimed his third Grade 1 victory when winning the Matheson Hurdle at Leopardstown at Leopardstown on Sunday for the second consecutive year. Still only six, the ex-French gelding has been a remarkable horse for the Ricci family and Willie Mullins having also won the Galway Hurdle last season. A three and three quarters of a length winner, he appreciates better ground and conditions at the...
