ITV Racing is again once more Sunday to carry racing from Windsor, Thurles, and Fakenham, beginning right here with a handicap chase over 2m. That is very difficult and filled with horses which have good again type, however lots of them haven’t executed a lot lately.
I’ll probability the previous rogue HARPERS BROOK for Kielan Woods and Dan Skelton. Everyone knows what can occur right here, and the probabilities are my choice will journey nicely and discover nothing off the bridle. That every one mentioned, he did win final time at Wetherby and I’d be fairly certain he has the flexibility to win off 139 if he needs to. Added to all that there needs to be a robust tempo to run at.
A Grade 2 chase over 2m5f. FRENCH DYNAMITE has a couple of kilos to seek out with a few of these and ran a shocker when final seen at Wetherby. That mentioned, he was good the time earlier than at Punchestown, and that is his journey. I’ll take him in a really laborious race for Mark Walsh and Mouse Morris. Has received at this observe earlier than.
Right here’s a handicap hurdle over 3m. Minella Missile as soon as seemed superb, however it is going to be laborious to take this off a 429-day absence and over hurdles. I’ll stick to GWENNIE MAY BOY, who’s a really robust stayer and ran nicely when third at Carlisle final time having fallen earlier than that at Haydock in November.
He rattled off three on the bounce final time period, and a mark of 139 is as excessive as he’s been, however the Carlisle run – touring simply two out – advised he nonetheless has extra to provide. Goes for the Skelton workforce of coach Dan and jockey Harry Skelton.
Right here’s a mares’ handicap hurdle over 2m4f. GREYVAL would possibly get an opportunity to win a race right here after loads of constant efforts, together with a high-quality third at Wincanton when final seen. Jack Hogan takes off an honest 3lb for Fergal O’Brien however this received’t be straightforward with the likes of improver Star Strolling and going nicely Recreation Colors.
The massive race of the day within the Fleur de Lys Chase over 2m6f. A belter. Marks the third run of the season for final 12 months’s Ryanair Chase hero PROTEKTORAT.
The Dan Skelton-trained runner most likely wanted the outing first time at Cheltenham, after which wasn’t suited to going right-handed at Huntingdon when thrashed by Djelo, who goes once more.
Protektorat might want to present much more right here to start out considering he can retain his Ryanair crown. And on the age of ten, you simply marvel how a lot further there may be within the tank.
This two and three-quarter mile contest actually is a belter, and likewise numbers the Peterborough Chase winner and improver Djelo, a number of Grade 1 hero Pic d’Orhy, laborious to foretell Ahoy Señor and the unbeaten Indiana Dream, as soon as with Mullins however now within the care of the Jonjo O’Neill camp. I’m blissful to provide Protektorat the thumbs up because the Skeltons are so good at getting a horse prepared for a giant prize, and he did run on all proper at Huntingdon despite the fact that nicely overwhelmed.
The ultimate of a collection in a mares’ handicap chase over 2m5f. GETBAZOUTOFHERE has cheekpieces and a tongue strap to try to make her go quicker, and he or she did simply that when a high-quality third at Cheltenham final time.
She stayed on nicely that day and off a mark of simply 99 and a racing weight of 10st 2lb. She will need to have an honest each-way probability. The superb champion jumps jockey-elect Sean Bowen rides for Tom Gretton.
A stayers’ handicap chase over an prolonged 3m4f. ART DECCO carries 12st 2lb over a really lengthy journey, so it received’t be straightforward.
That mentioned, he’s bettering and a really robust stayer who returned with an honest second at Exeter in December. He’s had a little bit time to recover from that check and whereas a mark of 127 is excessive for him primarily based on what now we have seen thus far, he’s going to maintain going higher than most. Harry Kimber rides for Robert Walford.
So better of luck, and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me, Paddy?
