  • TANGRAMM STRONGLY SUPPORTED AT WOLVES

    TANGRAMM has been very well supported for the 7.20 at Wolverhampton, a 1m 1 1/12 furlong handicap, having been backed down into single figures. He is a five-times course and distance winner and is well handicapped.  The application of a first-time tongue tie could well bring about a return to the winner’s enclosure.  Sophie Ralston… Read more »

  • SPRING ROMANCE BACK TO “FAVOURITE” LINGFIELD

    SPRING ROMANCE is one of three stable runners today when one of 12 to line up in the 6f handicap at Lingfield (12.10pm) and with his good record at the track, he looks to have a sound each-way chance at 14/1 under Joey Haynes. He hasn’t run for four months but in three outings at… Read more »

  • LAURENTIA MAKES DEBUT AT KEMPTON

    LAUTENTIA, a well-bred 3yo by Iffraaj, makes her debut today at Kempton in the 4.10, a nine-runner 6f novice.

  • KERRERA MAKES DEBUT FOR DEAN IVORY

    KERRERA makes her debut today for Dean Ivory in the mile handicap at Chelmsford tonight (5pm) after an absence from the racetrack of 176 days.

  • DADDY’S DAUGHTER NEEDS TO STEP UP ON RECENT FORM

    DADDY’S DAUGHTER, an impressive winner at Salisbury in the soft earlier in the season,  has lost her way in her last two outings and needs to step up a gear if she is to threaten in the opener at Lingfield today, a ten-runner mile handicap, due off at 12.10pm. The 4yo daughter of Scat Daddy… Read more »

  • ONE COOL DADDY TO GO ONE BETTER

    ONE COOL DADDY is one of two runners today for the stable and he could well go one better in the 2.50 at Kempton than he did last time out when second in a 7f handicap. Today, he’s back over the same trip and with the run under his belt after a lay-off and drawn… Read more »
