LORD WINDERMERE CAN END IRELAND’S HENNESSY HOODOO
The Hennessy Gold Cup takes centre stage at Newbury this weekend, and while this prestigious handicap chase is invariably fiercely competitive, this season’s renewal is without doubt one of the most open-looking in recent years.
HENDERSON AND NICHOLLS THE HENNESSY KINGS
Five of the last 10 winners of this valuable contest have been trained by either Nicky Henderson or Paul Nicholls, with the latter edging it with three Hennessy triumphs since 2003.
COUNT ON CLOWANCE TO SOLVE CESAREWITCH CONUNDRUM
The cat was thrown amongst the pigeons where many ante-post punters are concerned when the final declarations for this weekend’s Betfred Cesarewitch were made on Thursday, with the lion’s share of the leading fancies dealt a bad hand by the draw, not least Tiger Cliff who will be emerging from stall 30.
You wouldn’t think that the draw would be significant in a 2¼m contest, but with a sweeping right-hand turn to negotiate soon after the start it can be a real hindrance. Never Can Tell scored from trap 36 in 2011, but the fact that nine of the last dozen winners of this handicap were drawn in stall 12 or lower underlines the impact of the draw.
If you’re involved in sport there’s rarely a good time to pick up an injury. In fact, injuries invariably occur at the most inopportune time.
Such misfortune has been bestowed upon Frankie Dettori who will miss what I strongly believe is a winning ride on TREVE in Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp after fracturing his ankle at Nottingham on Wednesday.
It really is rotten luck for the Italian who is effectively rebuilding his career following a six-month ban for the use of cocaine. However, disappointing though it is that Dettori won’t be in the saddle, Thierry Jarnet is a more than adequate deputy given that he knows the filly well, having partnered her in three of her four previous starts.
Saturday’s racing line-up is a real treat with cracking Group 1 contests taking part on both sides of the pond, including a mouth-watering renewal of the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.
The 1¼m contest features the first three in last month’s Juddmonte International at York, Yorkshire Oaks heroine The Fugue and the race also marks the return of Kingsbarns, who went into the winter as Aidan O’Brien’s leading Classic hope after landing the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in October.
