  • SUPPORT FOR JACK AT KEMPTON

    JACK THE LAIRD is one of two Dean Ivory runners at Kempton today, when lining up for a 6f  handicap at 7.15pm and he has been well supported from 10/1 into around 6/1. The 4yo son of Acclamation has had a touch of seconditis in the past and he is reasonably handicapped to go well… Read more »

  • TANGRAMM WELL SUPPORTED AT WOLVES

    TANGRAMM, voted all-weather horse of the year for Dean Ivory, seeks his eighth career win today, in the 3.40 at Wolverhampton and if the weight of support in the market is a guide, he should run well. This improving son of Sakhee’s Secret started winning off a mark of 55 14 months ago and is today… Read more »

  • REVIEW OF THE WEEK: STABLE OFF TO A FLYER

    HARPER LODGE FARM may have been relatively quiet towards the end of 2016 which is why there wasn’t too much to shout about in this column but the yard has started 2017 with a bang with two winners from its first five runners. Lancelot Du Lac,  Dean’s first runner of the New Year when lining… Read more »

  • ELJADDAAF OF INTEREST BACK AT KEMPTON

    ELJADDAAF likes it at Kempton with four of his five wins coming at the Sunbury track and he should run well there today in the lucky last, a 6f handicap, due off at 5pm. The return to  6f should also suit and  having run well last month after a three month break, he has a sound… Read more »

  • LULU AND SECRET BIRD BID TO LAND HAT TRICK

    LULU STANFORD and Secret Bird are favourites to win the 7.15 at Chelmsford tonight and so land the hat trick. The pair have defied bad draws at Chelmsford and Wolverthampton to win handicaps over 6f and 5f in November and December respectively and in another sprint over the minimum distance, drawn six, they are a… Read more »

  • GOLDSLINGER INTERESTING OVER LONGER TRIP

    GOLDSLINGER steps up in distance today to two miles at Southwell, where he was second last time out and the extended trip could be in his favour. Six go to post in the two mile handicap, due off at 11.45am and according to the market, it is a two horse race between Medicine Hat and Fern Own… Read more »

  • VARSOVIAN TO APPRECIATE DROP BACK TO SIX

    VARSOVIAN, a six-times winner over 6f, drops back to that trip today in the 3.30 at Lingfield after a creditable 2l defeat over 7f at Chelmsford last time out and should run well. The 6yo son of Refuse To Bend is running 4lbs below his last winning mark and this three times course and distance… Read more »

  • LULU STANFORD BOOKED FOR CATHARINA

    DEAN IVORY runs two today, Goldslinger in the 3pm at Southwell and Catharina in the 5.10 at Kempton and Lulu Stanford, claiming 5lbs, looks interesting on the latter. The 4yo Dutch Art filly won over 11.5f on the turf earlier in the year but has struggled in four attempts on the all-weather.  Maybe, the step… Read more »

  • REVIEW OF THE WEEK: LULU DOUBLES UP ON THE BIRD

    LULU STANFORD may not be a household name but this very capable young apprentice won again last week on Secret Bird to give Dean Ivory his 35th win of the year. Last month, Lulu defied the outside draw to win at Chelmsford over 6f on the Arcano gelding in an Apprentice race.  On Friday, she… Read more »

  • SECRET BIRD DROPS TO FIVE AT WOLVES

    DEAN IVORY drops SECRET BIRD to five furlongs for the first time when competing in a 0-55 handicap at Wolverhampton today (5.45pm) and with last time winning jockey Lulu Stanford aboard, he could be of interest. The 7lb claimer gave the 4yo Arcano gelding a great ride last time out from a bad draw at Chelmsford… Read more »
