Two encouraging runs from our 'Future Chasers' division yesterday. TAFIKA ran well until outpaced in a good novice hurdle at Bangor and as befits a grand-son of Grand National third, Auntie Dot, he'll appreciate a longer trip, now he is strong enough to get it. DON'T TELL NINA stayed on after also being out-paced in a very classy bumper on his debut at Kempton. He is a fine, rangy horse who has tremendous scope for fences in the future amd showed a good tough attitude.
Today we run two promising novice hurdlers in FIRM ORDER and ASHAMMER at Warwick and Newbury respectively. FIRM ORDER has improved with every run and i hope that this trend will continue today when i think he has a good chance in a trappy race. ASHAMMER disappointed at Huntingdon when he hung badly left for no explicable reason. He has worked well at Wolverhampton on two occasions since then and i hope that he will behave better today. He is a half-brother to Ashkazar and shows plenty of ability at home but as this is a hot novice hurdle, i think we'd be happy to finish fifth.
Hope you all enjoy a truely epic days racing at Newbury today.
