    Bit frisky early on and stumbled badly at the second losing his action and dropping away to at least ten lengths behind the field. Still nearly last coming over the last did well to come through into 7th but they were well strung out.

    Good to Firm

    I thought this was a good debut for Lone Eagle. The winner, Recovery Run - who had already run well in a couple of decent all weather events, raced mostly in the lead throughout with Lone Eagle tracking him a length or two adrift. He had to be pushed a bit to hold position some 2 furlongs out and made his effort with Recovery Run inside the final furlong when just over a length adrift. Finished the better to go down by a head in the end with the rest miles away.

    LONE EAGLE (1.45pm – Zetland Stakes)

    Next up I’m really looking forward to getting back aboard Lone Eagle who bids for his hat-trick in the Zetland Stakes having won his last two. He showed a really willing attitude at Doncaster last time and was well on top in the closing stages. The step up in trip looks sure to suit and I don’t really have any concerns about the ground. This is a step up in class though and he meets some classy colts, but he won’t be far away.....Sylvester

    You can mark up that run aswell given how he was used in the race. Impressive indeed.

    Going: Soft

    After winning three on the bounce last year she has been highly tried at Class 1 over 6 furlongs in her four races before this, but without much success. Although this was not a star studded Class 1 she did well at her first try over five furlongs. She was squeezed to the back after the start and raced there or thereabouts until Tudhope got her going with a furlong to go. She moved strongly through the field keeping pace with the winner, although not closing him down at all, to finish second.

    She’ll probably continue to struggle in most Class 1 events, but lowering her sights a little might see her back in the winner’s circle.
    Won listed event Chantilly today @ 9/4

    ELDORADO ALLEN

    Newton Abbot 11 October 2020
    Follow@WillHillRacing On Twitter Novices' Chase (GBB Race)
    2m½f, Class 3, £8,057.52
    Going: Good To Soft

    The Tizzards are expecting great things from Eldorado Allen and he certainly started his chasing career impressively with a good win over the odds on favourite despite a near catastrophic blunder at the last. Other than that stumble he jumped very well and looked the part throughout. I’d be very surprised if he didn’t go on to better things and he’s definitely one to follow.

    ILLEGAL MODEL

    Uttoxeter 16 October 2020
    Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap Hurdle
    2m7½f, Class 2, £9,384
    Going: Good To Soft

    It seemed that Brian Hughes might be a significant booking, although there was no indication in the market which returned 16/1. He was kept lobbing along in the rear for most of the race and closed up to third very smoothly after the third last. Close up he was clumsy at the second last, continued in good vein but he found no extra and was not bashed about by Brian Hughes when the first two moved away in the final stages. I thought it was a very promising run.

    IF THE CAP FITS

    Ffos Las 18 October 2020
    Canter Carpet High Performance Surfaces (Norton's Coin Trophy) Novices' Chase (GBB Race)
    2m5f, Class 3, £7,017.84
    Going: Good To Soft

    Given his lofty hurdle standing (there are only 6 hurdlers rated higher by Timeform) it seemed that he only had to show that he could jump to run away with this despite the quality of his two opponents. And so it proved, he jumped well, gained confidence in his jumping as the race wore on and won comfortably. He’s going to be very hard to oppose in future and he really is an exciting prospect.

    ECLAIR DE GUYE

    Fontwell 21 October 2020
    Waikiki Waves Won This Race In 2019 Handicap Chase
    2m5½f, Class 4, £4,288.68
    Going: Good To Soft

    Eclair de Guye moved into the lead after the second out, but Bryony Frost looked unusually unbalanced to my eye, jumped the last awkwardly and didn’t ride much of a finish in going down by a neck with the rest four lengths away. It transpired that her saddle had slipped two out and that certainly couldn’t have helped. It might (or might not since the winner had a bit in hand) have made a difference, but it was still a decent run.

    Did it really nicely from the front and had plenty in hand even though he showed his inexperience over the last two and up to the line. There a chance he’s quirky, but races strongly and quite like him...

    Yes, he’s come on a ton from the ducking and diving he did first time, but he’s still work in progress I think. Nice win, though.

    Ps: Military Mission 4th although I’ve already abandoned the flat.

    BEAR GHYLLS

    Lingfield 22 October 2020
    Visit attheraces.com Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div II)
    2m3½f, Class 4, £3,768.84
    Going: Soft

    Keen and leading early on then fell back weaving about as green as grass, rejoined leading group after 5 and took lead 4 out having at last found some rhythm. He was well clear coming to the last only to swerve jump it awkwardly. Despite that he moved strongly away in the run in to win by nearly 5 lengths easing up. He can only get better.

    POLISH - 119

    Cheltenham 24 October 2020
    Lara Telfer Reined In For Racing Welfare Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
    3m, Class 2, £10,046.72
    Going: Good To Soft

    Fergal’s horses seem to have gone off a touch after a purple patch, but Polish almost ran a decent race. He jumped the first as though it was The Chair then settled down in the rear where he stayed until he started improving his position before 4 out where he made a dreadful blunder that had him on his nose and almost stopped. Undeterred he went into third after 3 out and moved to challenged the leaders 2 out where he made another on his nose blunder stopping him in his tracks. None the less he was still in contention at the last and a close third, but he could do no more on the run-in and wasn’t pressed when the game was up. It could have been so much better.

    GRAND MOGUL

    Chepstow. 27 October 2020
    JPW Racing Tipster At tipstersempire.com Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div I)
    2m3½f, Class 4, £3,768.84
    Going: Soft

    I’d tuned into this race for Sizable Sam whose withdrawal was perhaps judicious given the impressive performance of the winner GRAND MOGUL who raced strongly in the first group until moving clear of the favourite before the last to win very comfortably by some seven lengths easing up. Said to prefer better ground I should think he’s destined for better things.
