Busy day so will have to keep these write up’s brief

Bank £4,875

Cheltenham 1:30 £350 win Unaccompanied 7/1

Only her third run over hurdles, won impressively on first two starts, the second being a Grade one event. Both won over softer ground then today, but watching her action suggests to me she’ll have no problem with the quicker conditions and has won on good ground on the flat. A nice type with huge potential gets a 7lb Fillies allowance and I expect a bold run today.

Race comment: mid-division, steady headway when not much room approaching 2 out, tracked leaders going well between last 2, not much room again and switched left to challenge last, soon ridden and chased winner, kept on flat, always held**2ND


15:05 Old English £400 win 5/1

Travelled well when sent off odds on over 7f at Southwell in Feb, would have gone close if not for being hampered. Showed a good attitude lto over a mile here,again travelled well but caught out by the extra furlong so today’s step back should suit. Should be plenty of pace in this and if getting a position in behind the leaders I think he’ll appreciate the tow coming of the final turn in the hands of Kieren Fallon. A well bred sort should be capable of a big run in this company.

Race comment: soon led, made rest, ridden over 1f out, just held on, driven out**WON

Cheltenham 15:20 Midnight Chase £350 win 14/1

Will relish the good ground which could be key today. Loves it round here, been really impressed with the way he travels and Tom Scudamore rides well from the front. Face’s tougher opposition then ever today, but I think he’s still improving and has shown a great attitude, should run a big race today.

Race comment: led to 12th, tracked leaders, pushed along 14th, lost place 16th, outpaced 4 out, no impression from next**5TH

Returns £2000

Bank = £6,175
