Couple of interesting races at Exeter with some top level performers out. In the Future Stars Silver Bowl I reckon all of them are going to pay their way and with the rightly odds-on Stay Away Fay the main interest is to see how they have taken to fences. The following Haldon Cup I can’t really do better than trying with a pin. Probably take a chance with Brave Seasca since VW’s horses are beginning to sing a happy song. So long as it doesn’t ...
Couple of interesting ones out today. Brentford Hope - didn’t live up all the hype on the flat, but pretty decent over the jumps. Harry Derham says “ I have no doubt at all he is good enough to run very well in this competitive contest.”, but what’s he doing running over a left-handed, galloping track when he’s said to be suited to right-handed, sharp ones? Willmount - Very highly regarded bumper winner who moved stables during the summer (Neil Mulholland to Nicky ...

Dream of Diamonds 4.15 Warwick Is my fancy I'd fancy it a lot more if trainer Bowen didn't have 0-19 over the course in the last 5 years. The gelding jumped excellently lto, on his fencing debut.

Mount Temple - 1.15 Wetherby 9/1 Ew 4 places I noted this gelding put in a promising round ...

Wow, so many horses I like out today, I’m like a kid in a sweet shop dashing from one jar to another and at a loss how to spend my sixpence. Fortunately, I’m away and haven’t the time to look at anything in any calm and considered fashion, so it’s only headline thoughts. 12:55 Ascot Immortal - Henderson loves this horse, but a rotten price. 1:50 Wetherby Luccia or Kateira eany, meany, miney , mo - Henderson reckons he’s had this race in ...
