Epatante set to meet Constitution Hill again at Christmas

Epatante will run in the Christmas Hurdle on Boxing Day. She will meet Constitution Hill again. Shishkin will wait for the Silviniaco Conti at Kempton and Jonbon will go for Kingmaker Novices’ Chase at Warwick. The British Horseracing Authority refused to reschedule the International. It is sad that they can't rescheduled the race.

How much of a threat is Shishkin to Galopin Des Champs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup?

After getting the'Bad' and the'Ugly' from Shishkin on his first two runs of the season, we've finally seen the'Good'. That was what was required from Nicky Henderson's horse after a most bizarre campaign, one which saw him refuse to race at Ascot and then unseat Nico de Boinville, in unfortunate circumstances, just after two from home in the King…

Saturday racing: David Ord on twist and turns on and off the track

Newbury's Coral Gold Cup Meeting went toe-to-toe with Jack Frost all week and, armed with a substantial winter fleece and a team of determined and tireless groundstaff, emerged with a record of 2 and 0. It was a close call, mind. Even after clerk of the course George Hill peeked under the covers at 6.15 on Saturday morning to find the ground…

Nicky Henderson caution to benefit Shishkin in tussle with Bravemansgame?

It's that time of year. Mariah Carey jingles her way through All I Want For Christmas Is You in Asda. Leona Lewis is telling us it's One More Sleep in WH Smith (it's 31). The insipid department store festive ads have been on the tele since early-November. Hold your horses, Noddy. We're not there yet. But the good thing about the first flashes of…

Cheltenham Festival preview: David Ord sets the scene

It's here again - and we've never needed the magnificence of the Cheltenham Festival more. There are external factors of course, the cost of living crisis biting deep, inflation soaring and the real world getting in the way. But even within our own parish this has been a turbulent build-up. It's been dominated by the whip whether that be bans,…

Cheltenham Festival tips: Timeform expert Dan Barber on the big questions

A tough one that. I'd have been keener to oppose him when he was a very short price before his Dublin Racing Festival disaster. I now find him a very difficult horse to price up. Initially, I'd have been looking to find something each-way against him. I am very much warming to another Mullins horse in Diverge who is a possible play. There's still…

Cheltenham Festival Arkle positives for Jonbon after wacky races

Over at Newbury McFabulous was beaten at 4/6, Greaneteen was defeated at 1/2 and Zanza won the Betfair Denman Chase at 16/1 despite being the lowest-rated horse in the race by some distance. With a bit of'Good to Firm' in the going description thanks to watering restrictions, perhaps the unseasonal ground at the Berkshire venue had something to do…

Nicky Henderson expects Leopardstown events to make Cheltenham picture clearer

Constitution Hill is unbeaten under rules, making light work of a string of Grade One races when winning by facile margins, with the six-year-old a hot favourite at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Henry de Bromhead's Honeysuckle has dominated the contest in the past three seasons but after losing her undefeated record to Teahupoo at Fairyhouse in…

Tingle Creek day key questions including Shishkin focus

No horse in training has a higher Timeform rating than Shishkin, who earned a figure of 181 for his stirring success over Energumene in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot in January. That performance in a race for the ages took Shishkin's record over fences to seven from seven and, for some context on what he achieved on the form book, it earned him…
