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 A race that looked competitive on paper rather fell apart with two horses withdrawn on the day and the favourite unfortunately suffering a serious injury at half-way.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

World of Dreams made the perfect start to his career with an impressive success in what looked a decent bumper at Fontwell on Friday. He was our ninth recent winner in a terrific spell for the yard. The plan was to run two in the race but I had to withdraw Precious on the day

NOCTURNAL MYTH provided our fifth win in the past 48 hours with a gutsy success at Fontwell on Monday on his first start for nineteen months. A gorgeous looking horse, he was bred by my wife Rachael from Gan On who won over hurdles and fences for us and ended up with a rating of

The long journey from Potwell to Carlisle on Sunday was rewarded with an impressive success by SOJOURN and a fine run into third place by SAM BROWN in the Listed Intermediate Chase.

We had so much to celebrate on Saturday after a treble at Ascot from our only three runners of the day. SULLY D’OC AA set the ball rolling in the £16,400 novice handicap Chase, KID COMMANDO then doubled our score in the Listed handicap hurdle before the ageless marvel REGAL ENCORE completed the best afternoon

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
