This marathon trip looks much more suitable for him, and he makes a strong case with plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower mark. Additionally, better ground conditions should also be beneficial for his performance. Furthermore, he appears to be potentially well in on a mark of 141 as he won a chase last season off a 146 mark. For […]
The eight-year-old chaser had only his second start over fences and finished well over 2m7f at Taunton in December. However, he was then dropped in trip to 2m4f at Uttoxeter and despite finding the distance against him, still put in a solid effort to chase home Jupiter Du Gite. The upcoming marathon trip seems more suited to him and he […]
In 2013, Fabre’s horse Intello won the Feilden Stakes, finished third in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains, and won the Prix du Jockey Club. Narkez, another horse trained by Fabre for owner-breeder Nurlan Bizakov, holds entries in both of those races. Fabre expressed confidence in Narkez’s form since winning at Saint-Cloud, stating that the different ground is not a concern […]
The seven-year-old horse beat Enrilo by 21 lengths in the Edinburgh National in February. However, he missed the Midlands National due to heavy ground.

In the early market, Macdermott is […]

Completing a Champion Hurdle/Cheltenham Gold Cup/Grand National treble was an astonishing achievement by Mullins and Townend.
