A name for the Ages running at Chantilly in the 11.55 Race Thursday. Step forward the daughter of No Nay Never who seems to have slipped through the net with the handle:- NO MONEY NO FANNY Hard to imagine that eyebrows were not raised with that one.
Ffos Las 1.20 Rooster Cockburn Showed promis in bumpers/over hurdles earlier in his career. Didn't run bad on 2nd run in a handicap last time when making headway until 3 out over 2 m 3 f. Drop down to 2 m today should suit. Handicap mark down 3lb. The Bowen yard is a shrewed stable and they often do well at Ffos Las.
Ffos Las 2.10 Republican Beat a Nicholls hotpot very gamely last time at Taunton. The Nicholls horse holds a entry for a very competitive class 3 event at Sandown on Saturday. Republican looks worth a bet against odds on Pileon in my opinion.
Ffos Las 3.45 Alf'n Dor Course specialist on a winning mark. Could be suited by the return to hurdles and a short break will have done him good. I hope this one completes a double for the Bowen yard today.
Ffos Las 4.20 Jimmyjames This horse was my selection here before its last outing at Chepstow when going well until weakening in the final furlongs (finished 4th). Today down in trip with tonge strap on must have a big chance of finally going in.
Wincanton 2.20 Darlac Was supported in the market last time out when in with every chance for a long way until weakening and falling. Adrian Heskin is an eyecatching jockey booking. His record over fences at Wincanton last 5 seasons: 14 Rides 4 wins 3 placed (50 % in the money) I can't remember having seen Heskin riding for Colin Tizzard before today. Timeform writes: "DARLAC shaped like a well-treated gelding for much of the way in the Classic Chase at Warwick last time and is of interest back down in trip having been eased 2 lb." Any thoughts about this race ?
First ride for the yard, very competitive race and horse hasn’t had a great season and doesn’t look the most secure of jumpers.
Two nice Yeats geldings in the bumper at wincanton and I’m going for presenting Yeats because of the weight allowance and the top claimer taking off 5. Cheers.
Dam won her bumper but only at the third attempt. She is a half sister to Paisley Park and this is her first foal. I took a very speculative 40/1 yesterday evening so wish you well.
Simsir should win the last in Meydan this evening, price has contracted now into firm favourite but don't be shy either way!
