Kingsbarns returns at Leopardstown.

Quote:

Aidan O'Brien will be hoping Kingsbarns, his representative in the Heritage Stakes at Leopardstown on Wednesday, enjoys as much subsequent success as last season's winner.

The Ballydoyle handler sent out Declaration Of War in the Listed race 12 months ago who, unbelievable as it seems now, was not even sent off favourite.

Special One set for Aintree Hurdle.

The New One will attempt to atone for an unlucky run in the Champion Hurdle by aiming to go one better than 12 months ago in the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle on Thursday.

Nigel Twiston-Davies' stable star was badly hampered by the fatal fall of Our Conor at Cheltenham, but the way he flashed home up the hill suggested he would have played a part in the finish.

Ground concerns for Henderson.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue

Quote:

Nicky Henderson is philosophical about the likelihood of soft ground for the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.

The Seven Barrows trainer still intends to be four-handed in the world's greatest steeplechase with Triolo D'Alene, Hunt Ball, Shakalakaboomboom and Long Run, although he does not expect the first three named to be suited by the conditions, with the Merseyside track good to soft after rain overnight and further showers forecast through the week.

Sensation set for Maghull test.

Next Sensation will step up to Grade One company for the first time in the Doom Bar Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree on Saturday.

An eyecatching fourth in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham when he led for a long way and was still in front at the final fence, he also holds an option in the Red Rum Handicap Chase on Thursday.

Palace aim for Power.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed

Quote:

Sole Power is likely to aim to follow up his win in last year's Palace House Stakes at Newmarket.

Eddie Lynam's globetrotting sprinter was done no favours by the draw in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan on World Cup night.

He was beaten two and a half lengths by the electrifying Amber Sky, with his old nemesis She Shea just behind the winner, but both of those were drawn high with Sole Power breaking from stall two.

New team eye Aintree consolation.

The New One is likely to be a red-hot favourite as he bids to put the record straight after an unlucky run at Cheltenham when he lines up for the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle on Thursday.

Nigel Twiston-Davies' stable star appeared to lose all chance when badly hampered by the fatal fall of Our Conor at the third flight in the Champion Hurdle, but he finished to such good effect that he was only beaten two and three-quarter lengths in third place behind Jezki.

Dynaste aiming to Bowl over rivals.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed

Quote:

Tom Scudamore is already enjoying his best season, requiring only three more winners for his first ever century, and he hopes Dynaste can edge him one nearer in Thursday's Betfred Bowl at Aintree.

The David Pipe-trained grey silenced a few doubters with a stylish win in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, and now the eight-year-old steps back up in trip as he tackles a course and distance over which he was successful 12 months ago as a novice.

Greenham key to Berkshire destiny.

Quote:

Berkshire is set to kick off his three-year-old campaign in the Aon Greenham Stakes at Newbury on Saturday week.

How he fares there in the Group Three contest over seven furlongs will give connections an idea of what direction to steer him for the rest of the season.

Eagle flying towards Derrinstown.

Free Eagle is set to make his seasonal bow in next month's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown.

Dermot Weld has pencilled in the 10-furlong Group Three on May 11 for his Classic contender, who signed off his 2013 campaign when chasing home Investec Derby favourite Australia at Leopardstown last September.

One digs deep for Twiston-Davies.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

It was thought the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle would provide a simple way for connections of The New One to start picking up the pieces of their Cheltenham Festival disappointment - but it proved a far closer-run thing as the 4-9 favourite held on by the skin of his teeth.

Although trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies and his jockey-son Sam are generally laid-back characters, both were fairly distraught after he was badly hampered by the fatal fall of Our Conor in the Champion Hurdle and could only recover third place behind Jezki and My Tent Or Yours.

Silviniaco takes Aintree gold.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Noel Fehily admitted to being haunted as to why Silviniaco Conti has yet to win a Cheltenham Gold Cup but the jockey could take some comfort in the chestnut's follow-up victory at Aintree.

Silviniaco Conti (9-4) was still leading on the run-in and wandered across the course as Lord Windermere and two other late finishers rushed past, but he added this Grade One prize to his most important one to date, the King George VI Chase at Kempton.
