Well.....two 1st's two 2nd's three 3rd's and 2 4th's plus some others......Incredible week, just beaming right now....Really cannot wait till cheltenham! But FIRM ground next week
one good thing about having flat horses as jumpers is most of mine enjoy firm!!
Turbo Charged: 1st/8....After the disappointment of diamonds, this has put a massive smile on my face. My champion sprinter has done them over the jumps! The firm ground played a massive part...sorry guys firm ground played a part but firm ground at sandown next week for the listed juv hurdle could see a double up!
Noble Milan: 1st/14...Speechless...WOW...Just won the Hennessey!!! Great performance...Denmanesque until the last blunder but kept on!! Now have a dilemma to see who goes to cheltenham either Noble or Little Milan but Im strongly leaning towards the Welsh National with no other option till the letheby & christopher chase!
Vivella: 2nd/7...Great race, congratulations to LAMI with his winner, very well deserved 2m7f was that 1 furlong too far but still pleased and goes to the maiden hurdle at sandown over 2m5f with the favoured firm ground.
Orangina 2nd/7...Good run, first two were well clear....The Viper looks very decent though. Will go to the Xcountry at Sandown (is that correct lol!) over again preferable firmer ground
PlayThroughThePain: 3rd/9....Shame about the amount of fallers, completely blundered his way round and still got 3rd, very pleased! Again will go to sandown and firmer ground again!!
Electrolyser: 3rd/12....Is better than DiamondsInTheStars at home and finally showed class today, well done to fixit, that horse has looked good for weeks and will be a tough force to face in coming weeks! Will go to boylesports chase at cheltenham but expecting 2m5 to be to far...
Dubya: 3rd/7....Very pleased considering had no pace and needs much further will go to kelso next week over preferred 3m5f
Little Milan 4th/13....Unbelievable round of jumping, not one mistake...deserved to go closer but need's 3m2/3f and whether he will get it in the coming weeks i'm unsure, have no chasers over 3m so may stay at 3 considering the success of Noble Milan.
Babucon 4th/8: Game run, infront most of the way and just got tired....Well done Liam!! very impressive performance despite being out of the handicap, good luck with a national campaign!
Rescue Operation 5th/6th: Never thought much and will go back over fences.
Diamonds In The Stars 6th/16: Huge run giving 4lb+ away all round, Impressive win from thattinger and I respect the trainer massively on his performers last year and this year....Cannot wait to get on level terms with everyone again as on level terms it will be very hard to get past him hoping for this next week at punchestown in the grade 1.
Sarafina: 7/12: really disappointed as looked really good in trials!! Not sure what to do now...
Sanotiers 8/13...My week 1 hero has turned to a zero!!! Possibly took on the pace too early. Will head to cheltenham next week.
