    The 2025 Grand National

    From Tuesday through to Saturday of next week there is no rain forecast to fall, they can't over water in fear of producing tacky going - which may possibly be more dangerous than '' Good '' ....... they will aim for G/S on Thursday - will water in the evening to try and maintain that, but by...

    The 2025 Grand National

    I used to update the trends each year, age - official rating etc for the past 20 years, but now the race has been cut to 34 runners it alters matters somewhat. The race is attracting a better quality field and you will need to be rated 146/147 this year just to get a place in the line up. Looks...

    The 2025 Grand National

    The 33's Vanillier ( now 14's gen ) is looking fair value now following the WD of the Gold Cup winner - and I'm happy enough that the 66 for Broadway Boy will be bigger than his odds will be on the day. I still think the official rating required to get a run will be around the 146 mark I am...

    L’Karama … C ( Starspangledbanner x Aktoria )

    Trained by Archie Watson Ducked right after leaving the stalls, and took a keen hold when slightly disappointing on his only outing at two, finishing three and a half lengths fourth of nine behind Royal Alliance at Newcastle over seven furlongs. It looked a fair contest, and a few future...

    King’s Hand … G ( Kingman x Entity )

    Trained by Sir Mark Prescott Achieved little in three starts in 2024 ( gelded shortly after ) which isn’t unusual for his trainer’s juveniles, but some improvement this season wouldn’t be the biggest of surprises – particularly as he is now qualified for handicaps. King’s Hand will begin the...

    I Am I Said … C ( Almanzor x Tesoro )

    Trained by Ralph Beckett Late season two year old maidens & novice contests at Newmarket are usually races full of promise, with often a number of future winners lurking within. I Am I Said caused a fair shock when obliging in such a race, taking a one mile novices race in soft conditions in...

    Falakeyah … F ( New Bay x Alaflaak )

    Trained by Owen Burrows Really caught the eye when taking a Wolverhampton maiden over an extended mile in late November, impressively pulling five and a half lengths and upwards clear of ten rivals in the latter stages. Falakeyah is the second winner from as many foals from her dam, her half...

    Euaptor … C ( Persian King x Aurora Gold )

    Trained by Richard Hannon Showed a similar level of ability in two outings as a juvenile within the space of thirteen days in October, finishing third over a mile on heavy ground at Salisbury – before a fourth placed effort over a furlong shorter at Kempton, on both occasions beaten a shade...
