My boyfriend Ruby [Walsh] knows what it is, will sit on the sidelines, as it has had its share of bad breaks. I appreciate that there is a great opportunity for the Tolworth to Sandown Saturday barrier wells.
It seemed very well when he was beaten all ACEs to Newbury Hennessy meeting in November and the form works very well. He won four lengths and showed his class as he moved the decent resistance in the final.
Last time, he ran a mark of 142 in the Ladbroke hurdle at Ascot and he was beaten a solid fourth Raya star, almost two lengths to finish effort. On one of the disadvantages is the most popular of the season, to win a very hard race, but it was good enough and strong enough, he will fight rivals experienced at the end of two miles.
I recommend that you keep a close eye on Captain Conan. There were very encouraging reports of French newcomers of Nicky Henderson. All I hear is positive on this five years old, very soft soil in the Auteuil returned in June.
He was also in two other races in France and is well a Sadler Mare, so it is not difficult to see where he is his preference for the soft soil.
In the two miles of 32Red handicap Chase Rileyev, which will be mounted by Aidan Coleman, must have a real chance. Venetia Williams has both their horses in very good shape and I would be surprised, if not to a figure of the competition.
We hope that this time next week, I spoke of my trips on some.
