Your comments: deswalker 051211 Interesting today that this horse was stepped up in trip for the first time, and it really should suit him, so it was no surprise to see him finish well into 4th. However, his jockey didn't raise his whip once (may have lost it actually, difficult to tell). He has been busy recently and I'm not certain that softer ground will suit over winter but one to look out for in handicaps on Good-ish ground at 2m 4f+

Your comments: deliusmiff 180312 Noted running on strongly when 3rd behind First in Command and Argentine with recent winners Nafa, Slatey Hen and Canadian Danehill behind, should be capeable of stepping up on this when put back over 6fs here. Won on its debut over 6fs for D Barron at this course last year and has been racing over mainly further for D Shaw until recently, probably to get his mark down.

Your comments: meoldmate 14111 Jumped well throughout the race and only the favourite was too good for him when coming up the hill. At one fence he completely out jumped Bellvano and his jockey had to look round for danger and was hoping not to see Al Ferof in his slip stream.

He finished flat last but my impression was that he wasn't travelling anything like as well as he usually does, very possibly due to the softer ground as it was the first time he had encountered genuinely soft going. A 2m 4f to 3m handicap hurdle, on Good to Soft or better, should see him in a better light.
Athens - 15 Apr 2012 16:35 - Leopardstown, 1m 2f 0y

Past Form: A winner at 1m on soft ground. Third of 5 behind David Livingston beaten 10l at 11-2 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at Curragh over 1m (heavy) in September last year.
Your comments: The Executioner 190811 Ran a race full of promise when staying on to be fourth in the Convivial maiden at the York Ebor Festival after not getting the best of passages when the pace quickened. Should find compensation sooner rather than later and unlikely to have any difficulty staying a mile. Potentially useful.
Call To Battle - 15 Apr 2012 16:35 - Leopardstown, 1m 2f 0y
Trainer: J M Oxx
Jockey: J P Murtagh
Form figures: 611-

Past Form: Successful at 1m and 1m 1f on soft ground. A winner at 7-2 here over 1m 1f (soft) on his latest outing in November last year, beating Alla Speranza by 1/2l.
Your comments: aidanldrebin 111011 Well bred son of King's Best who duly built on the promise of his debut sixth at Gowran Park to land a well-contested 1m maiden at the Curragh, taking over plenty early enough but staying on well to score in good style; potentially smart middle distance prospect for 2012.
Light Heavy - 15 Apr 2012 16:35 - Leopardstown, 1m 2f 0y
Trainer: J S Bolger

Form figures: 2-1

Past Form: A winner at 6-1 here over 1m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Furner's Green by 1/2l.
Your comments: drogerson 191011 Sired by Teofilo out of Siamsa. Closely related to 2011 Dewhurst Winner Parish Hall, (share same sire, and is out of Siamsa's daughter, Halla Siamsa). Neck behind Frontier, an O'Brien Derby entrant who cost a cool 340,000gns and had race experience in hand on this debutant. Impressed tracking leader, and keeping pace throughout. Should be primed for next years Irish classics.

Has won at Leicester and Towcester this season.
Your comments: deswalker 20/02/12 Outsider in a hot Novice chase at Ascot this weekend, but was going well when falling as things were hotting up. As far as I can tell he has come out of that incident okay and could easily slip under the radar. An entry for the National Hunt Challenge Cup looks just the sort of race for him.

Your comments: meoldmate 281211 Nicky Henderson has a good performer here made one mistake on the circuit of Leicester but jumped other wise with zest and even ran wide at the top bend, giving the field every chance of beating him and he still ran away, more to come and very progressive. Might see this one in better company in the future.

Hi All,
Thanks to last weeks "Visiting DJ" jamies09 who did well in tough conditions, similar to the Grand National finishers!
Did get a few winners at the weekend and a couple from Sunday made that a profitable day! Please to say I was on both of them and it made up for an awful Saturday for me what with West End Rocker falling at the 2nd fence an all! :x
I forgot to change the Alerts over to deswalker so I will post today's for him as follows:-

Aidanldrebin 140911 Galileo son of Irish Oaks winner Margarula; green throughout and poorly placed as things develop up ahead, but the manner in which he finished off for hands and heels suggests he is a colt of significant potential
Man Of Plenty 16:00 - Windsor

Jockey Dane O'Neill
Form Figures 96-
Age 3
Country GB
Form Unplaced in both starts. Finished 9l behind Pembrey when sixth of 11 at 66-1 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 1m (good) in October last year.
Aidenldrebin alert 221011 Stoutly bred colt who has shaped with promise on both outings in decent 1m maidens; type to take off in handicaps at three over 12f+ after one more run; stable excel with this type of slow-maturing horse.
I have put Thunderstruck out to the higher pastures to recover it's form!

Your comments: meoldmate 011011 Hurdled well here at Fontwell and travelled nicely throughout the race and when coming to the bottom bend came through and quickened away from the field with two hurdles to go and won in good style, inidcating another win could be on the cards.

Pressure is on deswalker for the rest of this week?
Flaming Gorge from Paul Nichol's stable runs in the 3.40 @ Fontwell Park on Friday 20th April
Flaming Gorge finished 3/4 length behind Baseball Ted at Exeter 18 month ago giving him 12lb. Baseball Ted won 3 since including today 17th April.
Flaming Gorge also split Hunt Ball with Easter Meteor (Also won 17th April) 43 length behind in 3rd at Towcester in February Class3 Handicap.
On the performances of those 2 winners Tuesday, Flaming Gorge should have a strong chance in the Class4 Handicap on Friday. _________________ Oscarwolfe

Your comments: MartynCarlisle 141211 He's a Paul Webber horse, I had been waiting for him for a year prior to his debut as I heard he was/is something special. He does everything so well at home, he travels, jumps, quickens well - I backed him on debut at 33/1 and he was an eye catcher. Never once put into the race but stayed on to take 9th of 17 in what could be a very good heat. Paul Webber was called in to the stewards room after the race on the 'schooling in public' grounds, though they let him off. I e

Your comments: aidenldrebin alert 111110 Smartly-bred colt who got the job done in impressive fashion on debut; sure to make up into a very smart performer at some stage, and should be at home over 8-10f.

Your comments: aidenldrebin alert 270911 Half brother to connections' smart stayer Akmal, and well regarded judged on his Group 1 entry; travelled well for a long way on debut before a lack of pace/fitness told inside the final furlong; will do better over 1m+ and potentially quite useful.

Your comments: meoldmate alert 050811 HEFNER took time to take things in and stayed on with and hands and heel from Jimmy Fortune to get into fourth place, wil come on a bundle for this run and looks to progressive.

Past Form: A winner at 1m on good to soft ground. Finished 5l behind Caledonian Spring when fifth of 7 at 3-1jt-fav on his latest outing at Haydock over 1m (good to firm) in September last year.
Your comments: Aidanldrebin Alert 200711 Costly purchase who is well connected; shaped with promise through greenness on his debut, coming under a ride sooner than most but sticking to his task pleasingly and gradually learning what was required; will relish a stiffer test of stamina.
Able Master - 19 Apr 2012 15:20 - Ripon, 0m 6f 0y
Trainer: D O'Meara
Jockey: S De Sousa
Form figures: 80/000-6
Age: 6

Past Form: He has won three times from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 4l behind Arganil when sixth of 15 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Redcar over 6f (good to firm) earlier this month.
Your comments: deswalker 060412 Very well handicapped on best form he ran an interesting race on reappearance at Redcar. Up with the pace early he was a bit outpaced through the middle of the race then stayed on in eye catching fashion to finish never nearer 6th. There should be one or two 6f or 7f handicaps in this one this year off a starting mark of 82.

Your comments: meoldmate 061111 Won at Leopardstown over 10 furlongs beating Unaccompanied by two lengths, even though Tobar Na Gaoise was getting a stone from him, he looks as if he could be well weighted to go in again, as Tobar Na Gaoise was staying on and the jockey looked to take it easy just before the line.

Past Form: Successful at 5f and 6f including a win on polytrack. Won on his latest outing when 7-4fav at Kempton over 6f earlier this month, beating Amazing Win by 3l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success.
Your comments: jaydubs 190312 Ran from a wide draw today and never settled was about 5 wide on the bend all the way round and lost too much ground. Once on the straight flew and ended up a close 4th. Think it has at least 1 win on the artificial off this mark and may be even better on a straight 5 on the turf. A low draw would be nice

Past Form: Placed twice in five starts. Finished 10l behind Gabrial's Star when fifth of 9 at 5-2 on his latest outing at Hamilton over 1m (soft) in September last year.
Your comments: Aidanldrebin Alert 030811 Nicely-bred colt who has obvious signs of inexperience on both runs to date, but has hinted at promise on both outings; type to well in nurseries later in the season but should prove good enough to win a small maiden somewhere before then.
Topanga Canyon - 19 Apr 2012 20:35 - Wolverhampton, 1m 1f 103y

Your comments: aidenldrebin alert 270911 Hasn't achieved all that much in three outings to date, but has been looked after on all three occasions and looks the type to much better in handicaps, particularly in 2012 off what should be a lowly initial mark; should stay middle distances in time.
Good luck all. _________________ "The problem with the future is that there are more things that could happen than will happen" - Plato (liberally paraphrased)

Your comments: aidenldrebin alert 011010 Rated one of the yard's smartest 2yos and showed why when chasing home Auden on debut, green but sticking on nicely; will improve significantly and a very smart middle distance prospect.

Your comments: Aidanldrebin 050312 Half brother to a handful of winners including useful 2m 4f+ winners Iron Maid and Longshanks; highly tried in a Listed bumper on debut; overfaced over hurdles as well so far, making no impact in a couple of 2m events; will do a lot better once handicapped and upped to somewhere approaching 3m.

Your comments: nors 060911 One of the best backed horse on Sunday was the Tony McCoy ridden Award Winner who duly won. However Winning Show ran a great race in second and as long as his handicap mark is not increased greatly a win should be on the cards in a low class handicap at a poor track.

Your comments: Aidanldrebin 060911 Filly from a beautiful family, and she shaped with considerable promise on her debut in a good fillies' maiden won by Firdaws, green early but getting the hang of things towards the finish; much better to come, particularly once upped to 8-10f.
