Review of the day

There was no joy with todays tips…

I split stakes in the Long Distance hurdle – and Snow Falcon still looked to be in with every chance when he took a crashing fall at the third last.

I noticed that he was jumping quick, flat and low, on the first circuit - and I was a little worried as to how it would stand up, when the pace of the race quickened.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to the job.

Ubak ran a fair race – but just lacked the class to get involved when it really mattered.

There wasn’t much pace in the race –  and with the ground not looking too soft, I just don’t think the race presented enough of a stamina test for him.

Aerlite Spreme was the other tip on the day – but there were no excuses for him.

With Stiletto falling early – and Three Musketeers disappointing, I doubt the race took that much winning.

However, Aerlite Supreme still wasn’t up to the task which was disappointing…

Earlier on the card, Knockgraffon was an impressive winner of the novice handicap chase.

I felt he might need further, but Sirabad turned it into a stamina test and that really suited Knockgraffon.

Winner Massagot looked like he needed the run; whilst Imperial Presence just didn’t look good enough.

The following novice chase, was won in impressive fashion by Clan Des Obeaux.

I felt he was the most likely winner – but it was difficult to recommend him, as he was held on form by Our Kaempfer.

In fairness Our Kaempfer ran well – but he was absolutely no match for Clan Des Obeaux this time.

The winner looks set to take high rank amongst this seasons novices.
