Haydock Friday review: Pentland Hills back with victory

Nicky Henderson's horse won the Lee Thomas Christy Handicap. The horse was injured after the Champion Hurdle and had to recover from that. Ryan Bliss, Assistant Racing Manager for the Owners Group, revealed that novice chasing will be his target this winter. Henrietta Knight did the early work with him and she's always been a fan of his. The next time you see him will probably be over fences. Sean Levey rode a 25-1 double on the card. He said that the horse travelled well after his time off. It's completely FREE to register!   . i.e. log in with your existing Sporting Life, Sky Bet, or Sky Games account.

Willie Mullins column: Weekend runners preview

Absurde, being by Fastnet Rock, didn't get the two miles in the Lexus Melbourne Cup. Given the way the race turned out he was in front too soon and I'd imagine he'd want to be ridden a lot more conservatively at the trip in the future. He has lots of speed but whether he'll ever get a truly-run two miles I'm not sure but what he showed me in…

Okay, it wouldn't be quite as dramatic as Lester Piggott at the 1990 Breeders' Cup. "I have decided to come out of retirement and ride for the short period while Jack [Kennedy] is on the sidelines," Russell said in his statement. But, with Kennedy breaking his leg for a fifth time at Naas on Sunday, the Cheltenham Festival, just two months away,…

Who is Willie’s Arkle number one?

Who is Willie’s Arkle number one?

Nicky Henderson's Jonbon was safely tucked away in his Seven Barrows box at Christmas but he still got some festive cheer when Boothill won the Wayward Lad at Kempton. Before that boost - he had easily seen off Harry Fry's horse in the Henry VIII at Sandown - his chasing form had little substance to it (in terms of what he had beaten), even if he…

The high-class James Du Berlais made no mistake as 1/4 favourite on his debut over fences and first run for 612 days in the McInerney Beginners' Chase. Willie Mullins' charge has always held a lofty reputation since arriving as an experienced hurdler from France, so much so he made his belated first start for the yard in the 2021 Unibet Champion…

Punchestown Saturday review: Saint Sam denies Any Second Now

Reverting to hurdles having been highly tried as a novice chaser last season, the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old was soon in an early advantage and it was one he would not relinquish. A trait of his time over fences was that he raced keenly, sometimes too keenly for his own good, and while he was racing enthusiastically for Paul Townend, the…

Tony Martin is one of the shrewdest operators in Ireland and his Brookie remains on a good mark for the novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown. Off the mark last time in a race he got in as a reserve, Brookie really caught the eye the time before at Tipperary off a mark just 1lb lower than he runs off here, flying home after his rider seemed keen…

The 2021 Champion Bumper winner was one of the star performers in the novice hurdling division last season, winning a Grade One at the Dublin Racing Festival and the Ballymore at Cheltenham in March.

El Fabiolo enters Sporting Life Arkle equation with easy Fairyhouse verdict

A dominant winner on his first start for Willie Mullins at Tramore on New Year's Day, the five-year-old did not run again until pushing Nicky Henderson's Jonbon close in a Grade One novice hurdle at Aintree in the spring. On the strength of that form, he was a short price for his reappearance and first start over the larger obstacles in the Irish…

Switched to fences, the 1/5 favourite delighted jockey Paul Townend…
