Kelso – Sunday May 22nd SPECIAL PORTRAIT – Decent at this level on his day as he showed when beating a moderate lot in good style at Ayr (soft) back in February; outclassed in the Foxhunters but particularly disappointing last time out on fast ground at Aintree; doubts as to his current well-being after that [...]

Worcester – Wednesday May 18th BOLD PUNT – Irish Maiden winner (heavy) who went on to win a hurdle and a chase over 2m4f, but form over 3m less inspiring (only managed to get round once from 3 starts, beaten 42 lengths). Despite a fair third at Bitterley last time has looked a non-stayer in [...]

Beat Fruitfull Citizen in this race last year [...]

Aintree – Friday May 6th HEMINGTON – Rather hit and miss but useful on his day and showed a good attitude to win the John Corbet Cup over 3m4f at Stratford last May. Well beaten in a couple of handicaps subsequently and not seen since July, but ground conditions fine and dangerous to dismiss despite [...]
