Following his recent win at Market Rasen, RED GIANT was able to defy a 10lb rise in the handicap with another clear-cut display at Bangor last night. The three-mile handicap chase was run at a sound gallop, which suited him, and after going two lengths clear at the last he ran on strongly on the run-in, allowing Sean Quinlan to ease him near the finish to win by a comfortable … Read More

RED GIANT was always up with the pace and strode clear to win the Fishingadviser Events Handicap Chase in convincing style at Market Rasen yesterday. He took the lead at the 13th, and went clear approaching three out, staying on well to win by 11 lengths. He thoroughly deserved this success, which made up slightly for losing out on a win late last year when first he was past the … Read More

On just his second start for us since moving to the yard from Brian Ellison, BIG TIME DANCER more than justified his price by winning the maiden hurdle at Hexham today, going off at a skinny 6/4F. This was just his third start over hurdles, but he certainly had the form to win this. Sean Quinlan did everything right in the saddle, tracking the leaders until taking it up between … Read More

TANARPINO had won a point to point in Ireland on his debut, and had also achieved three wins over hurdles since joining the yard, but coming into this race today he had yet to break his duck over fences, and was very unlucky last time at Uttoxeter when just nailed on the line to come second by a neck. On this occasion he managed to build on some good performances … Read More

AQUA LIBRE, having her first run since October in the Molson Group Handicap at Bath, had raced on quick ground earlier in her career. Despite that, she seemed to have confined her best runs to the all-weather, where she won as a two year old. Since moving to the yard last year, we had only had the chance to try her on softer ground, so it was something of an … Read More

In the two and a half mile Handicap Chase at Bangor, a bold ride from the front sealed the result for ZOLFO, a 6 year old gelding by Cloudings. He was placed in a PTP in Ireland before coming over to England, and had also been placed a couple of times for us prior to this. He should have a good future, but despite his racecourse experience he is still … Read More

SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES won the FCL Global Forwarding Fillies’ Handicap at Wolverhampton last night with talented young apprentice Rossa Ryan in the plate. The 5yo mare has been in tremendous form recently and she defied yet another career-high mark thanks to an injection of pace around the home turn that put all of her rivals in immediate trouble. The five-year old only joined us late last year and that is now her … Read More

STAR ASCENDING has been an absolute star over the winter, and last night’s evening meeting at Wolverhampton provided his seventh win since the beginning of December (and his tenth career success). Joe Fanning took the ride and was never too far away from the leaders. He didn’t get a clear run around 2f out, but Joe managed to get him going and stayed on to lead well inside final furlong, … Read More
