The 2m novice hurdle this afternoon as Exeter is usually won by a good one (Yanworth, Sporting John recently) and today I reckon it will be Nicholl’s Bravemnasgame. He’s short enough but was clear 2nd at Chepstow to Jonjo’s smart Soaring Glory and that should be good enough today, even without...

Best of luck Art

Yep, terrible shame. On first viewing I was hoping he’d just downed tools and refused to jump the fence, but sadly not. Tough old game isn’t it sometimes…

Latest Exhibition v Longhouse Poet tomorrow at Punchestown should be interesting and hopinging the Nolan horse is as good or better over a fence as he was over hurdles. Can’t back him at odds-on and if getting involved it will have to be Run Wild Fred ew, as he’ll definitely come on for his...

Yep, I was on the Cheltenham Zoom call last week and he was heaping praise on him, something along the lines of the most impressive bumper winner he'd ridden...

Confirmed as fit and well this morning :)

Yes thankfully both Derby and Dylan are fine. The jockey was happy with the way he was travelling and jumping, before the loose horse put him off and he “lobbed” over the fence. Assuming he's OK in the morning the plan is to stay chasing. Plenty of cash for him today so someone was expecting a...

Obviously starting on Good, but any chance the afternoon rain will get into the ground for the later races?

Time on my hands this morning & looking at the 3m chase the 11 runners have 14 course wins between them from 84 runs... Frodon 5 wins from 12 runs Cogry 4 from 17 Perfect Candidate 3 from 18 West Approach 1 from 18 :) Sensulano 1 from 1 Manofthemountain 0 from 0... Not sure it helps find the...

Derby is aiming to get his career re-started tomorrow in the beginners chase at Wexford He’s an ex-Supreme horse now owned by a small friendly Syndicate and it’s been nearly 2½ years since he raced. It was never anything really serious, was ready to go a couple of times & was entered up just...

I'm having a small go at Storm Goddess in the 3.00 - 33/1 6 places with Skybet Slight doubt on the trip as she travelled best until the last behind Yeavering Belle at Ludlow, but is double that one’s price today, will love the ground and the trainer’s had a winner and 2nd (both fair prices) in...

Thansk DO and I read that, but at 6/4 can leave him alone

Only doubt for me on Galvin is the trip. He’s looked a fairly strong stayed over 2m 4/5f, but it’s not a given he’ll stay the 3m, especially here. At the prices I'll take a chance on Mossy Fen

Qipco British Champions Day reflections 20 Oct 20 Ground conditions undoubtedly played a major role in the results on Champions Day, writes Dominic Gardiner-Hill… That point was highlighted in the two championship races I assessed, the QEII and the Champion Stakes, where a combined total of...

Did it really nicely from the front and had plenty in hand even though he showed his inexperience over the last two and up to the line. There a chance he’s quirky, but races strongly and quite like him...

He's Clive Cox's landlord so may do a bit there and think he’s got other property investments. He was also involved with the Injured Jockeys, but not sure that’s still the case. Not aware of anything else equine

Very poor from Coquelicot. Weak in the market & never looked to be enjoying herself. Could have been fitness, ground, just not good enough or a combination, but still disappointing...

Coquelicot was probably towards the top of last season’s UK bumpers (those we saw...) and looking forward to her at Fontwell this afternoon. No idea if she can jump a hurdle or how forward she’ll be with no clues from any other Honeyball stablemates, but interested to see how she goes

Fair price I reckon and another plus is he's with Willie Mullins, so even though he's JP's unlikely to be messed around with...
