I see De Bruyne the Woodcote Stakes winner (first past the post anyway) from 2017 his making his debut over hurdles tomorrow- surely he can’t stay the 2m. Has there actually been any sprinters that have made a successful transition to the jumps? There probably is a few just can’t think of any!! But there’s no stamina in his family at all the best is a winner over a mile! Will be extremely interesting to see how he gets on. To me it stinks of a last chance for a massively regressing horse
Kadrizzi chelmsford 7 45 , must be showing signs as he opened at 14/1 , very quickly that became 6/1 , dean ivory has his aw team in good order , eljaddaf won last night ,
Southwell Sherian is short in the first, the time of his race over course and distance on Monday was slower than the second heat and it was quite obvious that he didn’t really want to go past the second. He travelled like a very well handicapped horse, and should be winning off this mark. However it’s a competitive field today, and if money comes for either Sooqaan or Mr Coco Bean then that would be of major interest. 5/4 is too short about the favourite. In the second heat we have more indifferent recent form, with Fieldsman a well beaten 3rd over c&d being one of the better bits of form. Assimile really interests me here, especially as his sire has a 100% strike rate at the course (2 from 2)!! He ran well at Chelmsford and now returns to Southwell against a moderate field. Arzaak appeals in the 5 furlong sprint, he’s got the back class on sand and he can make a good fist of this at double figure odds. I’d have preferred a central stall given where they came down the track on Monday, but hopeful of decent pace from high stalls. It will be interesting to see if any money comes for Lean On Pete in the mile and a half, his course form is rock solid and most of these are running at the course for the first time. Currently 16/1 which looks very big, but he may need the run. Going Native would be my bet if the day at Southwell, his form last year is very good for this race, he now is off a lower mark and he can make most here from a fair price of 5/1.

Hello, team. Quick review of Lady Adelaide. She’s now had 2 runs and both were similar in that she and another horse trounced the opposition (3.75 lengths clear of the 3rd first time up and 3.5 lengths ahead last evening) before having, for want of a better expression, a right old ‘ding-dong’ in the closing stages of the contest with her sole creditable opponent (won one and lost one of these battles). She has therefore ran against 22 horses, thus far, and thrashed 20 of them. Not a bad stat that for the old CV. What connections do with her next season will, I’m sure, depend on how she winters but if A-OK maybe they will opt to chuck her into a ‘Classic Trial’ next spring to see where they stand. Whatever way they go Lady Adelaide looks one to follow in 2019. Make a note, pilgrims.
Amazing to think that this horse 13 months ago was led out of the sales ring unsold at £145,000 having failed to reach the reserve set by, then owners, ‘Middleham Park Racing’.
hi fellas! taunton,1 00: good chance,thi will rest between the two unpenalised last time out scorers,GEORGINA JOY and love the leader,and a slight advantage goes to the former,who is a lot less exposed,and won well enough to think,she can go in again today. 1 30: all four are quite useful on their best form,but i think,this can go to BRAQUER D OR.he had been running some tough races at the end of last season,and this looks conceivably easier today. ludlow,1 20: DEFINITELYANOSCAR and diamond gait have already met last season, with,the former in front of his old rival that day,and i expect her to confirm the form today,even if she had a nasty experience a few weeks ago.was still going well enough that day,when she fell at chepstow..
I was about to post something akin to Georgina Joy and wheelbarrows today but thats ****ed now huh. Fascinating little juvenile hurdle at Ludlow today. I backed Elysees last time out and down the back straight I would have been tearing the slip up if you had one on internet betting. It stayed on really well though and came right away. I cant help feeling though the horse isnt entirely straight forward. Add to this that Alex has burdened it with a nap and you have a potential lay.
Stick, there was a piece about Elysees in yesterday’s ‘Weekender’. He’s actually owned by Alan King and a group of pals and the plan, at the moment, seems to be to run today and then put him away until just after the Cheltenham Festival. There is then a rich 4YO handicap hurdle at Newbury (I seem to recall for the sum of £40k or £50k) which he hinted was usually exceptionally weak for the prizemoney on offer – am guessing because most will go to either the Triumph or Fred Winter and totally bypass Newbury.
I was at Warwick and that race was atrocious, worst race I’ve seen this season at a racecourse. If he wins under a penalty then I’d be really surprised
