A December winner & 2 for the Cheltenham Festival

Looking through the handicap marks this week, there are less horses this week that catch my eye having dropped in the handicap. I did have a look at a few such as Snow Leopardess and Hill Sixteen from the Becher Chase but feel the former is still feeling the affects of the National whilst the latter is still too high in the handicap.

Racing Review – Saturday 23rd February 2013

A great day of racing at Kempton was the main focus to everyone’s attention with Newcastle having been abandoned due to snow on the track. The Racing Plus Chase is widely regarded as Grand National Trial and a few running in the race were being aimed at the Grand National. The faster going and tightness of the track however certainly caught a few out.

This looked a very tricky race to work out and the race panned out like this with many travelling into contention before dropping away. Midnight Sail for Alan King was eventual winner who took […]
