Morning, team. Hope everyone tickety-boo.
I see that connections have opted to give my old fave, UNIONISTE, a campaign in Hunter Chases with, it would appear, the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival (25/1 available) the ultimate aim. He would need to qualify, for the Festival heat, though before this was possible. Takes his first steps to achieving this later though in the splendidly monikered ‘Tally-Ho Hunters Chase’, across the county line, at Taunters (3.20).
With form figures of -0009 last term Unioniste appeared a much lesser light than the animal who was rated 159 in his pomp but let’s hope that a much lower level contest can invigorate the old boy and old glories, to some extent, be relived.
The stable, of Mr Nicholls, have had much success with similar types in recent Hunter Chasing campaigns and let’s hope he could even be another Pacha Du Polder or Wonderful Charm (who I can confirm was named after me).
Meanwhile, I had also liked ‘ooooooooooooop’ at Doncaster Lieutenant Henderson’s CASABLANCA MIX (2.00) be she is now a non, I say non, runner.
Good luck all.
