    The 2026 Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle

    After that is Just Ennemi in the Lanzarote Hurdle at 3:17pm, who was bitterly disappointing on stable debut last time out but his bloods came back wrong from that race so I’m hoping that was the reason he was so disappointing. We thought we’d go hurdling for the rest of this year with a bit of...

    The 2026 Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle

    I suppose trying to pick the winner of this is about as hazardous as trying to cross a busy road during the rush hour with your eyes shut. Nonetheless, I find it hard to think that the handicapper has got to the bottom of French Ship.

    The 2026 Classic Handicap Chase

    What a shame. There’s poor old Myretown revved up and ready to rock, but stuck in his box with nowt to do.

    The 2026 Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle

    Wrong thread or not, All In You was a notebook horse after his Ascot run, then won more than comfortably last time at Sandown. That would usually be it for me, but there looked more to come and I agree he does look well in. Maybe for the WH , maybe not.

    The 2026 Great Yorkshire (Handicap) Chase

    Meld 1955, my first Classic success. I thought my dad had diddled me, he’d put on half a crown for me, but only gave me two bob winnings. Odds on was a bit of a mystery to me.

    The wicked witch of Blewbury strikes again. I’ll just have to go and kick her door in for old times sake.

    The 2026 Classic Handicap Chase

    Can’t see it, myself. They expect big things from Myretown and I’d have thought there’s no benefit in going to Kelso unless a bit worried about any after effects of the fall last time. Even then, they wouldn’t want to destroy his mark for a relatively tiny pot.

    Point Blank: Did JP McManus Stop a Gold Cup Winner?

    GC did sound a bit of a warning pre-race, but it still reads as if he was having a go. You’d have thought the stewards might have had a word or two to say.

    The 2025 King George VI Chase

    Not sure what to make of it. A pulsating and exciting race, for sure, but it’s Banbridge being involved that bothers me. Fair play for him being brought to the boil for this, but even if he’d run a bit above his best he’s still not a match for the very best. That means Gaelic Warrior was a bit...
