Nurse Susan

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+2000

Lose

-50

I was a little confused why they decided to run Nurse Susan at Fontwell on terrible ground the other day, but she was apparently in season so the jockey didn't give her a hard time. She ran respectably in this race last season, making her return after 418 days. She's shown she's retained her past form, and a mark of 140 looks good, especially with Tristan Durrell taking the ride. I think he rides this track very well.

I was so happy seeing The Jukebox Man win the King George. I have to go for him here once again. He was so game to get up after not clearing the last as fluently. He's the perfect horse for a Gold Cup.

Ubatuba

@+3300

Lose

-50

Ubatuba looks like one that will improve next season over fences, but I thought his effort at Doncaster was quite eye-catching. Of course, Skelton's runner beat him fair and square, but Murphy's runner had to make up plenty of ground from his position and was a little outpaced at times. I think he's learned plenty, and a strongly run 3 miles on a real staying course should be right up his sleeve.

Panic Attack

@+332

Lose

-50

My NAP of the festival is Panic Attack. She started the season by winning two of the most competitive handicaps. She did that in some style. To me, she confirmed herself as a Grade 1 performer after those performances. Even though it's almost impossible to understand how a 10-year-old mare has suddenly improved so much, it happened. Her run at Newbury was incredible. Yes, she was long odds-on, but the way she won was just perfect. I have no doubts about the distance, and the rainfall should even be in her favour.

Sticktotheplan won at Chepstow and I thought he was going to build on that. Next time out at Haydock, things didn't really go his way, so you can ignore that run. He looked tired at Ascot, which is understandable as he'd been running for quite a while without a real big break. His biggest gap between runs was before the Chepstow run. He's had a wind-op since, and they are going to use a tongue tie. A strongly run 2 miles is perfect, but I wonder if he's going to handle the rain which arrived.

Lose

-50

Fantasy World is a horse I loved on the flat. Even though he hated the good-to-firm ground they often ran him on, he always gave a good account. On easier ground he showed his true colours. His first jump start at Musselburgh can be excused, as he didn't like the track. Henderson decided to run him six days later to get some experience in him, and I thought he did well until he got tired three out. He's had three weeks since then, and cheek pieces might do the trick. This race has seen crazier things.

Jeriko Du Reponet

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+450

Lose

-50

Jeriko Du Reponet has always been held in high regard and showed his class when having every chance of landing the Pertemps here last season. He went on to get revenge on Doddiethegreat at Punchestown after confirming he’s a top-class hurdler over 3 miles. His chase debut was over 2m 2f, which was obviously too short with the ground being too fast. He finished a respectable second to Jax Junior, who hasn’t done badly at all since then. His next run looked like a training spin, with Nico just following Regent’s Stroll and never really getting active on his runner. A duel doesn’t really fit this horse anyway, but it was respectable once again. Nico had really outdone himself at Windsor. Of course, it was run at an incredibly slow pace, which made it turn into a sprint in the end, which doesn’t suit this runner, but Nico could have at least pretended like he wanted to win. He stopped doing anything after colliding with Wade Out two out. The handicapper has given McManus what he wants: a handicap mark of 145.

Supremely West has been targeted for this since his promising run on seasonal reappearance. He’s fresh and on an amazing mark. The trainer has concluded he needs 3 miles after attempting to drop him in trip on his last start. Couldn’t have Bold Endeavour here, as I hate horses with such profiles.

I wasn’t sure what to do in this race beforehand, but when Skelton confirmed he was coming here instead of focusing on Aintree, I was sold. Kabral Du Mathan was running over 2 miles for his former trainer and always seemed like one with a little extra to give. He’s been exceptional this season, with the Haydock form even getting a boost. He’s unexperienced, but conditions will be perfect, and in my opinion this department has been looking for a new kid on the block for quite some time.

Feet Of A Dancer is the horse I’ve been keen on for quite some time now, as her run in the Pertemps was very strong. I was really hoping to see her in the stayers this season, but connections have decided to run her here as they like to stay as realistic as possible. It’s honestly quite difficult to see her turning around the form with Wodhooh as she was carrying 8 lb less that day. Her run at Doncaster was another improvement, but that mainly came with the step up in distance. I’ll be going for her either way with the hope that Cheltenham suits her better.

-50

The horse I’ve started fancying for this race is The Bluesman. He’s been very good since switching yards. His only loss came in a tactical affair at Leicester, which probably came a little too early after his seasonal appearance, as he seemed a little tired at the end. He won easily at Haydock after that, ridden a little closer to the pace. He’s only rated 134 and must be able to build on that. Sean Bowen on board is another plus.

-50

I’m actually quite strong on La Conquiere in this race. She was a good second at Aintree last season, likely being a little too far off the pace. She gave an odds-on Mullins something to think about before switching stables. Funnily, Blue Velvet is also in this race but as a 100/1 shot. Snowden’s runner did nothing wrong in her first two appearances over hurdles but wasn’t able to land short odds at Ascot the other day. It was a very tactical race, which doesn’t suit this runner at all. I’d like to think she’s best in a big field, like today over nice ground. Others might have more speed, but she’ll stay up that hill perfectly fine and can at least pick up the pieces late on.

I thought Chris Gordon had a nice runner here named Bass Hunter. Despite the eventual distance, he won very easily at Ascot the other day. He’s been kept since, and I feel like this horse could be something special. He’ll have the run of the race and wouldn’t have to worry about getting too lonely today.

It’s Only a Game was held up at Leopardstown as if he wasn’t allowed to win. Maybe that’s how he likes to be ridden, but that looked a little extreme. He made nice progress at the end and did well to finish fourth on those testing conditions, considering where he came from. The better ground is another advantage.

Be Aware is another one for the Skeltons which seems to be well handicapped. He’s run exceptionally well in graded races as he’s been going to the front like a maniac. I’d imagine they’ll try to find some cover for him here, which should be a positive, together with the hood coming off.

Gutted Marine Nationale isn’t running, as he would have loved the conditions. Instead, I’ll take a punt on a new kid on the block named Irish Panther. I thought he did everything right against Romeo Coolio on only his second chance over fences. He can only improve from that, and prominent runners did well yesterday. Majborough can’t be trusted, and this race is notoriously a graveyard for short-priced favorites.

Kateira first caught my eye at Doncaster. Tristan rode her that day, and he decided to give the leaders about a 10-length head start. I was very surprised. I imagine they have been trying to get her mark down since they decided she’s probably not good enough for graded racing. This trip in a big field is ideal for this runner, and Skelton knows how to get one ready for this race.

I have to be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of Final Demand at all. His run at Limerick wasn’t that good, as the result shows, and he actually got beaten the next time out. I’d like to excuse him for that, as he’d shown class prior to it, especially at Punchestown and Navan??"I thought he was exceptional. At odds of around 9/2 I can’t let him go.

Sortudo

@+1100

Lose

-50

The Turners is interesting, as it’s a huge field. I’ve thought Sortudo would be well suited for this race for quite some time. His run at Naas was only his second start this season, and he’ll give his best performance today. He was held up on a day when it was pretty difficult to make up a lot of ground from the back, and the eventual winner basically got to do things the way he wanted to. It seemed like Sortudo was coming with a winning run, but you can’t blame him for being a little tired at the end. I’m sure this type of race is exactly what he needs. If you go back to his run in the bumper last year, it seems like he stays on up the hill quite nicely, which makes me believe Cheltenham will suit him perfectly. Danny Mullins rides him, which would make him the third string for Mullins. It’s difficult to say Paul Townend made a wrong decision, but at the odds I think there’s some value.

Jipcot's Leicester success was seriously impressive, jumping every fence perfectly. He quickened away nicely when asked for effort. Last time out at Ascot he was challenged all the way for the lead by two runners who dropped back way earlier than he did. This runner probably stays 3 miles, but it’s not easy when stepping up in distance for the first time under a strong gallop. They’ll definitely go hard here as well, but it’s over 2m4f, a distance he stays for sure. A rating of 133 could be too high, but if he shows what he showed at Leicester in January, he could have a little in hand here.

Champion Hurdle I was on Brighterdaysahead last year, and I would be lying if I wasn’t already counting my profit when Constitution Hill fell. We all knew how that ended up, and I said something like, “That’s the last time I’m taking this mare at Cheltenham.” Fast forward one year, and I’m on this mare for the third year in a row. She’s only had two runs this season, and even though conditions were terrible at the DRF, she should still be fit enough to give at least one big performance. She’d probably want it a little softer, to be fair, but with the form Gordon has been in this season I’d like to hopefully give her one last chance.

@+2000

75

A horse I’ve really started fancying this season is Leave of Absence. This runner won very gamely on his seasonal reappearance at Cheltenham under similar conditions to this race. The trainer decided to run him just three weeks later, which is a decision I just couldn’t understand. On ground he doesn’t enjoy, he ultimately felt the aftermath of that hard battle and got tired quite quickly. People blamed the handicap mark and the ground, but to me the run just came too soon, and it was a race you needed to put a line through, so I decided to take my chance with him at Ascot. It’s easy to say afterwards, but the jockey probably sent him on too early. He ran one last time in a race against one of the main contenders for the Gold Cup, carrying similar weight on heavy ground. All this isn’t ideal, but he ran creditably, to be honest. I’m hoping he still has some energy left for one big performance this season.

In the end, I’ve decided that Saratoga will win this race. Horse Racing Twitter was very quick to call out Mark Walsh for his ride on his latest start, and rightly so, as it was ridiculous. It seems like he was pushing the horse downwards going into the last, and whatever he did after that couldn’t have made the horse go faster. Padraig Roche got away with winning this same Naas race in 2022 with Brazil, but he ended up racing off a mark of 137, which surely could have been avoided if given a similar ride to what Saratoga was given the other day. A rating of 130 seems workable, and his flat form isn’t bad either.

This horse won the County Hurdle in good fashion last season, as she showed her speed when it turned into a sprint at the end. The form of the race has worked out well, and she ran respectably behind State Man on her final start over hurdles. You can excuse her reappearance, as she wasn’t at her best on her first start last season either. She put in two good performances at Leopardstown after that, giving Romeo Coolio a run for his money in a tactical affair. She’s had a much cleaner preparation this year for her festival bid, but obviously is contesting a more competitive race. I’d side with her though, a true chaser whose ideal distance is two miles.

I was quite confident in Old Park Star when he won at Cheltenham, putting him up mainly because Nicky rode him so confidently on his previous run at Kempton. I only got serious on him after the final hurdle, after which he extended the distance to his rivals. It looked like he was going to win by about a length, but him staying on so nicely made me think he’d be perfectly suited to Cheltenham. Before his run at Haydock, I told myself this horse must be a good bet for the Supreme whatever the result here, with Cheltenham suiting him so well earlier on. Haydock is a completely different test, but he destroyed his rivals once more that day. Of course, doubters are saying that he hasn’t beaten much, or that his rivals weren’t at their best at that time. Others say he’s a good horse without being a superstar, but I don’t really understand where they are coming from. I was already thinking about this race after the Cheltenham run, but the Irish hadn’t really shown themselves and I unfortunately decided to patiently wait for them to show what they had in their locker.

Rebel's Romance is the hot favourite in this race and will probably win, but it's a horse I'm not a big fan of and, in general, I always like to oppose. Burdett Road didn't settle at all in the Red Sea Turf Handicap, but I thought he ran creditably regardless. The trainer would have had some thinking after that and has decided to take off the tongue-tie. Oisin Murphy is booked, which is a positive. I think he has the speed for 1m4f and can at least get a place if settling better here.

Twinjets is a horse I've had on each of his three runs this season. Although seeing him fall was very frustrating last time, I think he belongs in group company when he's fit. This horse hasn't had a smooth career, but finally things seemed to start going his way this season. Let's see if he's still the same horse we saw here at Newbury in November, as that horse will be very tough to beat.

You can make a case for many in this 3-mile handicap hurdle, but I’m interested in Lacey, his runner here. Walden made all on seasonal reappearance at Huntingdon. The finish looked a little strange, as so many horses were involved at the end, which would suggest that the pace was slow, turning it into a sprint. But I thought he was pressured throughout for the lead, forcing him to go quite hard up front. His following run was strange, as the jockey decided to hold him up in last. About halfway he was detached and never recovered from that point on. I’m really not too sure what to think of that, but the trainer has decided to enter him in a big field over a longer distance. I’m very curious if Stan will hold him up or try front-running tactics once again. He’s only rated 115, and this 6yo still should have a lot of improvement left in him.

Emma Lavelle wanted to go chasing with this runner, but things didn’t go to plan at Cheltenham. He was put back over hurdles in a tough contest at Windsor. They went a hard pace on soft ground. I’d expect today’s race to be similar. He seemed to have run his race three out but made up a lot of ground at the end. It looked like he hit the front and just stopped, which made him finish a close second. That is a little concerning. Looking at this horse’s record, he seems quite tough to win with. I’d think he can still improve, rated 132, and these kinds of races are perfect for this runner.

He still had every chance, but it almost seemed like the horse was embarrassed that he made that mistake. He started hanging and was only able to regain his focus when it was too late. I thought they were going to bring this runner to the race they won at Kelso last season before going to the Ultima. It could have been a nice confidence boost, but they decided to run another one of their runners, which won comfortably. I’m not sure what path they want to take with this horse, but he should be at his best at this time of the season.

The Betfair Exchange Handicap Hurdle is competitive, but I have a feeling Captain Teague will give you a good run for your money. He made his comeback after a long layoff at Windsor over 3 miles on ground that was close to heavy. For a horse that has never really enjoyed 3 miles, those had to be the worst possible conditions to make your return. Back in distance here on nicer ground should show a completely different horse. He won the Challow in 2023 and has only had four runs since then. There’s probably still a lot to come from the runner, and this could be a good starting point.
