The double included now… Warwick 1.30 Stolen Silver 1pt win @ 5’6 – Goes particularly well at Cheltenham where he ran a sterling race in defeat in a strong 2m4f handicap on New Year’s Day; 4lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but there’s a suspicion that he might yet have even more to …

Musselburgh 1.22 The Churchill Lad 1/4 pt ew @ 14’1 / 12’1 – No great shakes on the Flat but 2-4 over hurdles with his wins gained decisively at Cartmel and Catterick; outran his odds of 66-1 to finish fourth in a good Grade 2 at Chepstow and he was only 2l behind Fils De …

Sandown 1.10 Heaven Smart 1/2 pt ew @ 11’2 – Placed in two of seven Irish points and bought for £38,000; mistakes did not help when he flopped on his second go over hurdles but he was much better on starts either side, pipped in a maiden at Lingfield on latest; should still be open …

Cheltenham 1.20 Energumene 1.5 pt win @ 8’13 (NAP) – Sole chase defeat came in that memorable battle with Shishkin in this race last year, which has evidently left its mark on that rival but not on this one; readily landed the Champion Chase here next time and followed up in the Punchestown equivalent; straightforward …

Navan 1.07 HMS Seahorse 1/2 pt ew @ 9’2 firms offering 4 places – Progressive sort last season and his fourth in the Fred Winter has worked out particularly well; below form on the Flat when last seen but could give a good account if he’s fully tuned up for his return to hurdles Lingfield …

Haydock 1.30 Toothless 1/2 pt ew @ 5’1 / 9’2 – Showed that he could be a potential superstar with an emphatic win on his British debut last time out. This will be a much tougher test of his abilities but if he can replicate his previous run he should go well. Additionally his trainer …

Kempton 1.30 Percussion 1/2 pt ew @ 15’2 / 7’1 firms offering 3 places – Seldom seen in the mud but won on heavy in 2021; seriously improved form last spring when tongue-tie and cheekpieces went on, winning two in a row; very good, staying-on third more recently in two outings over the big Aintree …
Saturday 7th January
Sandown 1.15 Peejaybee £25 win @ 100’30 – Never a threat when beaten 23l on chase debut at Carlisle and he fell at the seventh at Haydock (well-backed favourite) eight days ago; something to prove after that but his best form as a novice hurdler last term came in his two runs over 2m4f at …
Sunday 1st January
Cheltenham 1.20 Monmiral £25 win @ 6’4 – The best of these over hurdles, having won a Grade 1 during his juvenile season and runner-up to Epatante in another top-level race at Aintree last April; unable to deal with Jonbon on chase debut at Warwick but no disgrace in that and his jumping was safe …

Newbury 1.15 Casa Tall £12.50 ew @ 9’1 firms offering 4 places – In good heart towards the end of 2021, winning at Exeter; in and out since but his mark has fallen and he might have needed both his outings this autumn (fourth of seven at Sandown on latest); each-way claims for an in-form …
