TOUCH PAPER was considered a possible Queen Mary contender back in the spring but has found 5f too short on her two runs. Tonight she is upped to 7f and with Richard Hughes on board should prove very hard to beat at Kempton (7.00). In the same race don’t be surprised if Assolut, who has …[Read More]

Garswood the value in 2,000 Guineas showdown
RICHARD Fahey says he has never had a horse like GARSWOOD. That is some compliment when you consider some of the equine artillery the Malton maestro has unleashed down the years, including Group One winners Wootton Bassett and Mayson. The strapping son of Dutch Art has made rapid strides since his juvenile days and his …[Read More]

Dark Horses: Whatever You Do…
IT’S a huge week for Richard Hannon that could culminate in another 2,000 Guineas success with the impressive Toronado. But today there are more modest pickings at stake. WHATEVER YOU DO is a filly that has always worked well at Marlborough and she has shown some distinct promise in her three races. But the other …[Read More]

Bated to leave them breathless
I HAVE been waiting with Bated Breath for Roger Charlton’s star sprinter to get his head in front in a Group One contest. But today could finally be the day for Bated Breath.

Wentworth the Friday banker
One of our Two-year-old Notebook horses Wentworth runs tomorrow at York in the Skybet Mobile Convivial Maiden Stakes. He was very unlucky on his debut at Glorious Goodwood in the maiden won by Steeler who has since franked the form. The race has already thrown up other winners. Wentworth has always been a favourite among …[Read More]
