  • REVIEW OF THE WEEK: QUIET END TO AUGUST

    DEAN sent out just seven runners last week and the month ended with no winners although two horses were placed. Bobby Vee was third at Brighton and the very consistent Jack the Laird posted another second, at Wolverhampton.  While both were favourites, of the yard’s other five runners, three went off at 20/1 or bigger,… Read more »

  • IVORY RUNNERS BOTH FAVOURITE AT WOLVES

    DEAN IVORY’S two runners today, both at Wolverhampton, are both favourites. Jack The Laird in the 7.15 and Eljaddaaf in the 8.45 have been well supported and are a best priced 2/1 and 9/4 respectively. The former has been in good recent form with a win and four seconds in his last six starts, three… Read more »

  • REVIEW OF THE WEEK: SEVEN FROM ELEVEN IN PRIZE MONEY

    HARPER LODGE FARM sent out eleven runners last week and although there were no winners, seven of the eleven were in the prize money. Jack The Laird and Soaring Spirits were both second and the latter was a shade unlucky at Brighton yesterday when beaten a short head, having been squeezed for room and bumped near… Read more »

  • SPIRITS CHASING FOUR-TIMER IN TRICKY AFFAIR

    SOARING SPIRITS only faces three runners today at Brighton (4.30) but it’s a tricky 6f contest as he aims to complete a four-timer. All four runners can be given a chance but the Dean Ivory runner will hopefully be able to dominate this small field under Robert Winston who has ridden him in his last… Read more »

  • RAINS COME FOR STAKE ACCLAIM AT SANDOWN

    STAKE ACCLAIM is one of two Dean Ivory runners today when lining up for the 5f handicap at Sandown (4.15pm) and this talented son of Acclamation has the ability to go close. Winner of three of his thirteen starts, he has sometimes disappointed but this 87-rated gelding has plenty of talent and the potential to… Read more »

  • WELL HANDICAPPED SIRIUS HAS PROSPECTS AT KEMPTON

    SIRIUS PROSPECT, without a win for his last 15 starts, is as a result, now well handicapped and he is interesting at Kempton this evening in the 8.10, a mile handicap. Now rated 95, he is eight pounds lower than his last win, which was at the Sunbury track over 7f in November 2014.  A… Read more »

  • SEAVIEW AND R BAR OPEN SUPPORTED AT LEICESTER

    DEAN IVORY has two runners at Leicester today, Seaview and R Bar Open and both have come in for support in the markets. The former is having just her second run when one of eight runners in a fillies’ stakes over 5f, due off at 6.10pm.  She showed promise on her debut at Windsor when competing… Read more »

  • REVIEW OF THE WEEK: QUIET BEFORE THE STORM

    LAST week was a quiet one for the yard with just three runners. Surfina, Pearly Queen and Firmdecisions failed to trouble the judge but as they went off at 12/1, 12/1 and 16/1, not too much was expected. Keep an eye on though on Firmdecisions, who was already well handicapped going into the race on Saturday… Read more »

  • FIRMDECISIONS HANDICAPPED TO RUN WELL

    FIRMDECISIONS, a dual winner at HQ in May of last year but winless since, is handicapped to go well in the 3.40 at Newbury today. The 6yo son of Captain Rio has been out of form this year but he is five pounds below a winning mark and if he regains his form of last year, could… Read more »
