The Brigadier Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The ITV cameras are bringing us four races from Dunstall Park on Friday and here are my early thoughts :- Wolverhampton 1.40 Landed a gamble on his stable/all-weather debut over course and distance just after Christmas having been backed from 16/1 into 9/2 for trainer Ralph Smith when bolting up by 6L. The handicapper has responded by sticking him up 10lb but there may be more to come from this ex Fergal O’Brien trained hurdler who was runner up to Luccia in a listed novice hurdle over hurdles. PALACE BOY 1 point each way @ 11/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234 Wolverhampton 2.15 Newmarket handler Roger Varian has his string in fine shape and appears to hold a decent chance of taking this class 4 7F 0-85 handicap with his lightly raced four year old Al Farabi. He made a pleasing handicap debut when beaten a length by Swiss Ace (run well in defeat since)at Newcastle just after Christmas and with just a 2lb rise to contend with should be thereabouts with Jack Mitchell in the saddle. AL FARABI 2 points win @ 11/4 bet365 Wolverhampton 2.50 Mark Usher has been in good form this year and runs a brace of runners here in Sea The Buckhorn and Outreach who both have chances. Slight preference though is for the latter who finally broke his duck at the thirteenth time of asking over course and distance on Boxing Day under today’s pilot George Bass who is good value for his 3lb claim. A 2lb rise in the weights may not stop him from following up in a race where a careful eye must be kept on the top weight Kraken Diamond who has joined rookie trained Brian Twomey from John C McConnell in Ireland OUTREACH 1 point win @ 4/1 bet365 Wolverhampton 3.25 James Fanshawe hasn’t had a winner for 42 days but has been knocking on the door in the past fortnight with four of his five runners all hitting the frame. He can take this 9 1/2F class 5 0-68 with his four year old daughter of Cracksman who’s only win came over course and distance last October off of a handicap mark 3lb lower than today’s. Back here she can score again and give Fanshawe his first winner of 2024. FAST AFFAIR 1 point win @ 11/4 bet365 black rabbit, LEE-GRAYS, MCLARKE and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calva decoy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Peter Niven had a winner at Southwell last night , he runs ADMIRAL NELSON 9/2 Sky Bet in the 4.15 at Newcastle , 4Lb higher than CD win 3 runs ago but yard going well & back down in trip from last 2 runs . 👎 decent race in which every horse seemed to be bang on it & primed to win .

FAST AFFAIR 1 point win @ 11/4 bet365 I also like the look of KRAKEN DIAMOND in the 2.50 , bringing 1 over from Ireland in a class 6 , horse with new trainer & drops from 12f to 7f for it's 1st run , interesting & at 13/2 earlier decent each way odds . 👎 drifted like a barge , sank like a dredger , this is a horse , not a racehorse .

Sporting Sam Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The lucky 🍀 last. Newcastle 1915 (Draw data) Yesterday’s Hero each way David Nolan an interesting jockey booking and was a winner at the end of December for Richard Fahey. Yesterday’s Hero won easily on debut beating midnightattheoasis. Penalised for that win subsequently and started life in handicaps too highly marked up, and moved into class three company stakes. Drops into class six for first time to coincide with lowest rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
