Nass, me old love, you to would have been on Miss Crick had you not been off gallivanting. The word amongst the old county set, for which I know you are a fully paid up member, was very big re this one. She’ll now go to Newbury, in 18 days time, for their rich £30,000 bumper or head to Aintree for their Listed Mares event at the old GN meeting. Don’t miss her wherever she goes. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more...
I had a very long look at her in the paddock at Newbury Barney and I would say that she will improve for the run. She had two handlers throughout the preliminaries too so I guess she can be a little mare.
One for the notebooks from the Newbury race was WELLUPTOSCRATCH. He is a big gorgeous looking beast and would have been hindered by an inadequate trip. He is a half brother to WAIT FOR ME who looked decidedly useful when winning an Ascot bumper on debut. When WELLUPTOSCRATCH steps up to two miles I fully expect him to win his bumper and progress from there!
