Xtc12 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Constitution Hill 13.55 Kempton 2 Pts Win @ 1\7 (bog) Exceptional novice hurdler, winning Grade 1 Tolworth and Supreme by a combined 34 lengths. Underlined he could be one of the best hurdlers seen for a long time when easily accounting for Epatante in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle last month. Can't be opposed.

Definitely more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtc12 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Pulled Up yesterday - what odds for picking the loser in two two horse races Jet Powered 12.40 Newbury 7 Pts Win @ 4\11 (bog) Bought for 350,000 gns after winning sole start in Irish points and impressed on Rules debut when landing a 12-runner C&D novice last month.

Brother to point/bumper winner Glenglass, and half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Mrs Hyde.

Xtc12 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 1st today @ 1/6 Jem In Em 12.45 Musselburgh 8 Pts Win @ 10/11 (bog) Placed only start in points and did well under the circumstances to make winning Rules/bumper debut at Perth (16.2f). Not seen to best effect upped in grade at Cheltenham and shaped like a stayer when runner-up on Kelso hurdling debut. Will improve, especially now upped significantly in trip.

Xtc12 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 3rd yesterday Fairy Gem 15.00 Hereford 9 Pts Win @ 2/1 (bog) Fairly useful in bumpers (winner on debut) but has failed to meet expectations on both starts over hurdles, including upped in trip last time.

Xtc12 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 ** Don't believe I forgot to post here yesterday, anyhow for the record it was a loser Impose Toi. I will be adding this loser to the stats. Bo Zenith 12.05 Sandown 2 Pts Win @ 1\5 (bog) Zarak gelding who looked a good prospect when landing newcomers race (from another useful prospect) at Auteuil (14.9f) sole start for David Cottin back in April.

Xtc12 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 1st @ 1\8 today Afadil 14.30 Taunton 4 Pts Win @ 4\9 (bog) French Flat winner in June. Starts out over hurdles in a weak race and he ought to take a bit of stopping, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Has had wind surgery.

Xtc12 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 1st @ 2\5 yesterday Impaire Et Passe 12.10 Punchestown 7 Pts Win @ 1\4 (bog) Easily won only start in bumpers for Y. Fouin at Nancy last March before changing hands for €155,000. Looked potentially out of the top drawer when justifying strong support on hurdling debut at Naas last month and can take this step up in grade in his stride.
