01/12/16 Straight From The Trainers Mouth

Willie Mullins

12.15 Thurles Bachasson 4/7

Bachasson (Ruby) makes his chasing debut in the 2m 2f beginners chase. He jumps well and this recent dry spell should have the ground right for him. This track will suit and hopefully the trip isn’t too short. This looks like a nice place to start off his chasing career.

★★★★☆

1.20 Thurles Riven Light 4/7

Riven Light (Ruby) has his first run for us in the 4YO maiden hurdle over 2 miles. He is a nice horse by Ravens Light who will like this ground. He jumps well enough and we are hoping for a good run.

★★★★☆

1.50 Thurles Miss Me Now 8/13

Miss Me Now (Ruby) goes for the 2 mile mares’ conditions hurdle. She won nicely at Clonmel a couple of weeks ago and is well suited by these race conditions. We are hoping she will add to her Clonmel win here.

★★★★★

2.20 Thurles Aussie Reigns 8/11

Aussie Reigns (Ruby) runs in the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He ran a fantastic race when second on his jumping debut at Fairyhouse two weeks ago and, with normal improvement, he might go one better today.

★★★★★

Roger Charlton

4.10 Chelmsford City Magique Touch 4/1

She ran a great race there last time when she just got run down and finished second, having travelled well. That day she had a good draw in 1 and today she also has been given a chance by being drawn in gate 4, which is helpful. Timeform have her clear on ratings, and with some of her main rivals drawn wide, and must go there with a chance.

★★★★☆

David Pipe

12.20 Market Rasen Vincents Forever 9/4

Vincent's Forever was an 82 rated flat performer for John Gosden where he was twice a winner. He has schooled well at home ahead of this hurdles debut and he should go well.

★★★★☆

1.55 Market Rasen Susie Sheep 5/2

Susie Sheep contests the novices' handicap chase at 1.55pm and she ran well without quite getting her head in front the last time we saw her. The step-up in trip to three miles should suit her and she has fair claims

★★★★☆

2.15 Wincanton Martabot 7/2

Our five year old has not run for 907 days but he had some fair form in France and David Noonan takes 3lbs off his back.

★★★☆☆

2.25 Market Rasen Chic Theatre 2/1

Chic Theatre has been running in better races than the 2.25pm and he also looks to have decent prospects from a mark of 115.

★★★★☆

Some Recent Winners

05/03

4:20 Lingfield Second Thought 10/11 - WON @ 13/8

I’m not riding in this race but it looks a fascinating contest. Sutter County is interesting stepping up in trip and I know Volatile is in good order as I rode him work the other day. He’s worthy of a go in a race like this and I think he’ll run big. The horse to beat though is Second Thought.

★★★★★

2.05 Newbury Just A Par 12/1 - WON @ 14/1

This is prep for the Grand National which has been his aim all season. He found the track a bit sharp for him last time at Musselburgh and needs much quicker ground than he is going to get at Newbury.

★★☆☆☆

2.25 Doncaster San Benedeto 2/1 - WON @ 100/30

Won nicely at Musselburgh last time on good ground dropping back to two miles which suits him very well as he has plenty of speed. While San Benedeto is in form he is probably handicapped up to the hilt now. He goes here rather than Cheltenham and the less rain they get at Doncaster the better his chance in a race with decent prize money.

★★★☆☆

4.25 Newbury Warriors Tale 11/2 - WON @ 5/2

Can be a bit in and out but has run some of his best races for us at Newbury, a course which seems to play to his strengths. He goes in the ground, the trip looks perfect for him and I'd say he is fairly handicapped. Good chance.

★★★★☆

3.25 Kelso Mount Mews 7/2 - WON @ 11/8

It is a small but select field and he will need to improve to win but we like him a lot and he is in good form at home. My only concern would be that he has never encountered ground that soft before so he will need to handle it.

★★★★☆

1.30 Newbury Spice Fair 12/1 - 2nd @ 10/1

We have decided to put Paddy Brennan up, for whom he ran well at Cheltenham and Taunton; the galloping, open track with the long straight (and where he has run well in the past in good quality flat handicaps) will suit him perfectly and no horses will deserve success more.

★★★☆☆

2.50 Kelso Clan Legend 5/1- WON @ 100/30

My fault I suppose for encouraging the racecourse to keep upgrading the race but we go there with a horse that I hope still has plenty to offer over fences, whilst we may not see that until he steps up in trip but there are obvious attractions in running tomorrow and we are popping a tongue tie on

★★★☆☆

4.35 Kelso The Orange Rogue 2/1 - WON @ 11/4

He should go well if he takes to the track and it was a difficult call coming here rather than waiting for Newcastle on Tuesday where he is a course & distance winner, he will only line up if the forecast rain turns the ground heavy.

★★★★☆
