  • MADAM DRAGONLFY AT 100/1 FACES MASSIVE TASK

    MADAM DRAGONLY is a 100/1 shot in the 4.30 at Lingfield today and faces a very tall order. She’s had just the one run at Wolverhampton when 66/1 and finished eighth.  Today’s contest is even harder and she’ll find easier opportunities when handicapping.  Rob Hornby rides the Ivory runner, the 3yo filly by Intello. Market… Read more »

  • LUCYMAI LANDS THIRD WIN THIS YEAR

    LUCYMAI landed her third win of the year when making all at Chelmsford last night over seven furlongs to justify 3/1 favouritism, in what was her fourth career course and distance win. Ridden by stable apprentice, Jack Duern, the five-year old daughter of Multiplex took advantage of the plum draw in stall one and went… Read more »

  • OLD RIVALS RENEW BATTLE AGAIN!

    LUCYMAI and ELJADDAFF renew rivalry again when locking horns in the 6.40 at Chelmsford tonight, a 0-100 handicap over 7f and the bookies cannot split the pair. Both horses are 7/2 joint-favourites and both are well drawn, the filly in the prime number one spot with her older stablemate drawn in three.  There is only … Read more »

  • CONDITIONS TO SUIT INCREDIBLE DREAM

    INCREDIBLE DREAM is the sole stable representative today, when lining up for the opener at Chepstow, a six-runner 1m4f handicap due off a 2.30pm and the ground, currently heavy, soft in places, should suit. A previous course and distance winner on the soft last September, when winning by 3 1/2 lengths, the Vale Of York… Read more »

  • GROUND AND TRIP TO SUIT EIRIENE

    EIRENE is being pitched in another Group 3 today at Ascot in the eight runner Merriebelle Stable Pavilion Stakes, due off at 3.45pm.  The ground is soft and the trip is 6f so both should suit. A creditable third in the Nell Gwynn at Newmarket’s Craven Meeting, the Declaration Of War filly probably doesn’t really… Read more »

  • MABEL BACKED TO BREAK DUCK

    OLIVE MABEL, one of two Dean Ivory runners at Yarmouth today has been well supported in the market from 5/1 into 7/2 to break her duck at the eighth time of asking under Jack Duern. She is one of eight runners in the mile handicap and this is only her second run on turf.  Having… Read more »

  • VILLETTE MAY DEFY LONG ABSENCE

    DEAN runs three today, Villette in the 3.40 at Salisbury and Mimram and Sandy Heartbeat at Southwell (5.20 and 5.50 respectively) and the first two are of particular interest. The dual-winner, Villette goes well fresh, so her 152- day absence is not a concern although the heavy going is an unknown.  She’s the 9/1 outsider… Read more »
