Carl Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Semi Precious - 2.50 - Plumpton NAP Unwise to go overboard about his defeat of modest opposition in a novice handicap at Hereford, though he did impress with his jumping for a chasing debutant over a trip quite possibly short of his best; raised 8lb for that but looks progressive. Global Achiever in the 2.40 at Wolverhampton Best form is on this course but this trip seems at the limit of stamina, worn down in C&D classified event prior to good third back at minimum trip last time; should go well again but others may stay on better.E/W If both of these lose then i will change my username to Sue for one week :ok Thats how confident i am today :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnards Green in the 2.30 at Folkestone 2m3f fast ground winner at Taunton in October but patchy form since and well beaten over same C&D last time; visor he wore there left off but something to prove back in trip.E/W Polar Scout - 3.00 - Folkstone nap. Hurdle/chase winner this year and would almost certainly have beaten Sossus Vlei but for bad mistake at the final fence last time; capable of winning from this mark but jumping remains a concern.

Carl Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Dads Lad in the 1.40 at Bangor E/W Stays very well and creditable seconds to his name on both completed starts this term, but needs to pull out more to win this and does not look the best handicapped. Tanterari - 2.10 - Bangor WIN Two wins already this month, comfortably in 3m1f novice handicap at Plumpton (soft) and in facile fashion for 2m6f conditionals event at Fontwell (good); this is a much, much harder contest but he can run off 1lb lower mark than at Fontwell and chances are that he began handicap career off hugely favourable mark, so hard to oppose on hat-trick bid.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colmar Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Good form today Herp. Dads lad was in with a shout of that race. Going hand in hand with the leader until the last fence. Tanterari was extremely cheeky the day. Another great shout. It coasted along in second before the last but on landing just stretched away easily from the leader. Two great shouts and very unlucky not to have two returns today. Hope this is the start of another run of yours??!! Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
