Le Coeur Net opened his season with his fourth success over fences with a win at Plumpton on Monday off a handicap mark of 115. A race that looked competitive on paper rather fell apart with two horses withdrawn on the day and the favourite unfortunately suffering a serious injury at half-way. Ben Godfrey had …
An early morning schooling session on Tuesday paid off for AVOIR DE SOINS (French for ‘have care’) who gained his first success a few hours later at Lingfield in the 2m 4f attheraces.com Handicap Chase. A whole host of issues have prevented him putting his best foot forward and I didn’t really know what to …
Kilconny Bridge looked as good as ever as she won her fifth race from six starts at Chepstow on Monday in the colours of the Potwell Racing syndicate. She was a bit too enthusiastic at times last season so I was over the moon to see her readily settle behind two keen front runners at …

MARILYN MONROE extended the sparkling form of our team with the narrowest possible victory in her first handicap hurdle at Taunton on Wednesday. A half sister to Regal Encore and The Organist, she won an Irish point-to-point before joining us and was then successful in a bumper at Fontwell during her first campaign in this …
Acey Milan made a perfect debut over fences with a pleasing success in a limited novice handicap Chase at Aintree on Sunday off a mark of 130. He has always been a talented horse, finished 4th in the Champion bumper after a prolific season and has now won five times from fifteen starts. He was …
The unchallenged victory of Ucanaver in the bumper at Fontwell on Wednesday came as a pleasing endorsement of our decision to snap her up for £35,000 at the Cheltenham sales in the spring. A nice, quality filly, she first came to my attention when she ran so well in finishing an excellent second to our …
