L’Homme Presse’s Gold Cup credentials are being questioned. While he may have been rusty over the first few fences, he started to pick up speed and looked like he might have a strong chance at winning. However, his lack of peak sharpness became evident, and he will need to improve. Despite this, there are several reasons to consider him as […]
The horse has decent prospects of following up its recent performance. It is expected to handle the track and ground conditions well. However, it has been given a 5lb weight increase for that performance. Despite this, there is still potential for a good run in the upcoming race.

The runner-up, Stay Away Fay, had an impressive performance in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival. Since then, the horse has won both of its starts over fences. Mahons Glory, who finished fifth in the same race, comfortably won a Kempton handicap on Boxing Day. Twig, the sixth-placed horse who was beaten by Park This One, […]
It was the strongest evidence yet that Allaho is no spent force at the top level. This performance saw him cut to 5-2 favourite for the Ryanair Chase. Although he only beat Stattler, who was running over the wrong distance, the race still provided a tough challenge. Allaho’s previous race in the King George also contributed to his strong form […]

Despite the loss, the trainer expressed pride in his horse’s performance, noting that he gave 4lb to the winner. The trainer speculated that L’Homme Presse may now be considered for the Gold […]
Those who have backed the 2022 Brown Advisory winner for the Cheltenham Festival will no doubt be heartened by the way he overcame a near 13-month absence to bravely hold off Protektorat, a veteran of two Gold Cups who ensured he would be given no soft reintroduction. There was a palpable sense of relief in the winner’s enclosure from those […]
