  • DROP IN TRIP LIKELY TO SUIT RED COSSACK

    RED COSSACK, who appeared not to stay 1m4f two and a half weeks ago at Kempton, drops back in trip to 1m 1/2f at Wolverhampton this afternoon in the 2.05 and the shorter distance should suit. He is joint-second best off at the weights in this Classified Stakes for 3yos+ rated 0-50 and despite being drawn… Read more »

  • CHARM FAVOURITE TO BREAK DUCK AT CHELMSFORD

    CLASSIC CHARM is one of four stable runners today when lining up for the 5.15 at Chelmsford and she is a general 5/2 favourite to break her duck. Placed twice in her last two starts, both at the Essex course, the drop back to 7f should help and she should go close under Rober Winston…. Read more »

  • SPRING ROMANCE ENJOYS RACECOURSE GALLOP

    SPRING ROMANCE went down to Kempton Park yesterday morning for a racecourse gallop and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. It was a crisp but very cold winter morning at the Sunbury track with temperatures barely above freezing, so “Neville” and his galloping companion, the nine-year-old Lancelot Du Lac, did not hang around limbering up in the pre-parade… Read more »

  • RUNNERS AT LINGFIELD…AND HUNTINGDON!

    DEAN IVORY is a dual purpose trainer and today he has runners under both codes with Wotamadam at Lingfield (2.55pm) and The Cruix at Huntingdon (4.20pm). The former is one of 12 runners in the 6f handicap on Lingfield’s all-weather and this lightly-raced 4yo daughter of Lethal Force, who ran well over course and distance last… Read more »

  • SIR PRIZE WINS BACK-TO-BACK AT KEMPTON

    SIR PRIZE may have been a surprise winner at Kempton earlier this month when obliging at 20/1 but he was quite strongly fancied to double up at the track yesterday and he duly did so at 5/1. He was drawn wide when he first won and it was a similar story second time around, so again… Read more »

  • KADRIZZI BIDS TO END LOSING RUN

    KADRIZZI is the stable’s only runner today when he lines up at Chelmsford in the 5.25 in an attempt to end a losing run which stretches back to August 2016 and comprises 21 defeats. One of the stable stars back in 2016 when he won three times and was rated in the 100s, he’s not… Read more »

  • SIR PRIZE SEEKS TO DOUBLE UP AT KEMPTON

    SIR PRIZE, who lived up to his name when winning at 20/1 earlier this month at Kempton, looks to follow up at the Sunbury track with back-to-back wins when lining up in the 7.15, a 1m3f handicap. The son of Sir Percy is much shorter in the betting this time at around 5/1 and again… Read more »

  • TROPICS AND LUCYMAI MAKE LONG TRIP TO NEWCASTLE

    DEAN doesn’t often have runners at Newcastle very often (three runners in the last five years) but today he sends Tropics and Lucymai to Gosforth Park. The former is one of seven runners in the Betway Conditions Stakes (All-Weather Championships Fast-Track Qualifier) over 5f, due off at 5.45pm.  The 11yo stable stalwart has run at Newcastle before… Read more »

  • CHIME AND TANGRAMM ON THE SLIDE

    SWISS CHIME and TANGRAMM, the two stable runners today at Kempton, are both weak in the market at 10/1 and 16/1 respectively. The former is one of six runners in the 4.45, a 5f handicap and the 3yo daughter of Swiss Spirit, who seemed to enjoy the Southwell fibresand when winning comfortably on New Year’s Day, may not… Read more »
