NEWBURY Horse Racing Trends (ITV/RacingTV)

2/15 – Raced at Haydock last time out

JUICESTORM VERDICT: Sizable Sam will be popular here after a couple of nice wins at Wincanton, but up another 7lbs here and even though I feel there is more to come from this 6 year-old, he looked a bit green an inexperienced last time – wandering around and wasn’t the most fluent at some of the hurdles. This is a better race too so more is needed, but, in his defence, this step up to 3m is probably what he’s been crying out for and could improve him again. Of the rest, the consistent Mint Condition should go well, while it’s hard to ignore the Paul Nicholls runner – SOUTHFIELD HARVEST, who is yet to finish out of the first two from four hurdles runs and sets a fair standard with his recent close second at Wincanton. Alan King won this in 2019 and his Es Perfecto is another that should be involved, but of those at bigger prices the only CD winner in the field – VIVE LE ROI (e/w) – might be worth a small interest too. Yes, he was down the field in this race last year (5th), but is 7lbs lower this time and hinted at a return to form last time at Cheltenham when a fair 5th of 12 in a similar race.

2/17 – Won by the Pipe stable
7 of the last 14 winners were aged 7 years-old
The average SP in the last 14 runnings is 3/1

JUICESTORM VERDICT: Paul Nicholl has a good record in this race and he’s going to have another big chance with his multiple King George winner, CLAN DES OBEAUX. This 9 year-old is the joint top-rated in the field (169) and is a former course winner – he’s clearly got a big chance. However, those against him will note he’s also not won now since landing the 2019 King George and despite being lightly-raced since (3 runs), he was put in his place by Frodon at Kempton over Christmas.  But with his main rival, in term of the ratings – Lostintranslation – having a bit to prove, then Clan Des Obeaux gets the call by default really. He’s a course winner here too and heavy/soft ground is fine. Nicholls has already said he’s unlikely to be seen at Cheltenham again, so he can take this before heading to Aintree in April. The other joint top-rated is the Tizzard runner – Lostintranslation – and on his best form he’d, of course, be a player – let’s not forget, he was a close third in the Gold Cup last March. However, he’s rather lost his way since with poor runs in the King George and Betfair Chase – a recent wind op might do the trick, but I’d rather see it on the track first. Cepage, The Conditional and Secret Investor are all good horses in their own right too, but in this graded race have a bit to find at the weights. So, the other of interest is KALASHNIKOV (e/w). Yes, he’s rated 10lbs off the likes of Clan and Lost, but gets a handy 6lbs from that pair. He ran well over 2m4f at Cheltenham (2nd) last time out but looks the sort that is worth a try over 3 (fences), plus is also a proven course winner here at Newbury. If all 8 run, then he could be the e/w value in the race.

Altior has won the last three renewals (2017, 2018 & 2020)

Note:
The 2019 running was staged at Ascot

 

JUICESTORM VERDICT: No Altior, who was meant to run in last week’s race until it got called off and moved here, so that certainly makes life easier for the rest. Altior beat another runner Sceau Royal – in this race 12 months go by 3 ¼ lengths so with the Henderson horse missing there will be a lot of people siding with the King horse now. He’ll also get a handy 6lbs from the main Nicholls runner in the field Greaneteen and should go well. He’s a horse that’s been in good form this season (winning twice over hurdles), but does also return from a fall last time over fences at Kempton. Therefore, I think the Paul Nicholls runner – GREANETEEN can finally fulfil his tall reputation. The yard has made no secret that they like this 2m chaser, but even though he’s run some solid races you feel this is his time to start to kick-on. He’s still only 7 years-old so should have more to come and it’s no secret connections feel he’s got more to offer. He’s had a break since running Politologue to 7 lengths in the Tingle Creek last time out, but has won 4 of his 6 chase starts and looks a typical Nicholls sort that with a tiny bit more improvement could start to make a name for himself in this division. Nicholls also has Dolos and Magic Saint in the race, while Ventia Williams runs CD winner Fanion D’Estruval both are certainly no back numbers, but would probably need the main three in the market to have an off day. Last season’s RSA Chase winner – Champ – has also been switched here, instead of the Denman Chase. A very decent horse on his day, but you just feel this 2m 1/2f trip will be plenty sharp enough for him and he might just have too much to do in the closing stages as his running style is to come late. You never know, if he can keep tabs on them early on, then he’d certainly be the winner if jumping the last in contention, but you also feel the Henderson camp didn’t want to give him a hard race over 3m in the Denman Chase, so this will be an easier option to get a run into him and blow away the cobwebs, before a tilt at the Gold Cup – a Game Spirit/Gold Cup double would certainly be one to remember though!

JUICESTORM VERDICT: As always, a super-competitive renewal of this Betfair Hurdle. Soaring Glory, who was a fine third in the Supreme Novices’ Trial at Ascot last time out – he gets in here with only 10st 7lbs, which looks dangerous, so it’s no shock he’s been well supported in the build-up to this. Henderson has a good record in the race too and in Buzz and Mister Coffey he’s got two fair chances too. The former is ridden by 5lb claimer Kevin Brogan to offset some of his big 11st 12lbs weight, while you feel Mister Coffey, with Nico de Boinville riding, is better than his showing (3rd) last time at Sandown after getting bogged down in heavy ground. The unbeaten Metier could be anything and comfortably beat the Harry Redknapp-owned Shakem Up’Arry last time out, so certainly can’t be ruled out, but the three I like are CADZAND, GUARD YOUR DREAMS and FIFTY BALL. The first-named has won his last two in decisive fashion and the form of his last win over Christopher Wood has since been franked with that horse winning last weekend. He’s up 9lbs for that last win, but did it well to suggest he’s up to the rise in the ratings and gets in here with a nice racing weight of 10st 12lbs. The other main pick – FIFTY BALL (e/w) – comes from the Gary Moore yard that like to target this race – winning it last in 2015. He’s caught the eye in winning his last two and looks a versatile sort that has won on different ground and over trips from 2m up to 2m3 ½f. He’s up 11lbs from this last run, so more on his plate, but still gets into this better race with just 10st 5lbs to carry and that’s a full stone less in racing weight than last time. The final pick – GUARD YOUR DREAMS (e/w) – comes from the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard that have won 3 of the last 7 runnings of this race. This 5 year-old seems to be going the right way after winning three of his four hurdles starts and is up 7lbs from last time when beating Friend or Foe with a bit to spare at Sandown. Trip and ground are fine and son Sam takes the ride for his dad, something he’s done with success in this race twice since 2017!
