Fontana in big-race follow-up.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Lac Fontana benefited from a typically power-packed Tony McCoy ride to clinch the Pertemps Network Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree.
The Paul Nicholls-trained five-year-old was the 9-2 favourite for the two-and-a-half-mile Grade One, stepping up in class and trip following a similarly determined display in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Re: Horse Racing
King strikes with Balder.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Alan King secured his third winner of the Grand National meeting as Balder Succes played the starring role in the Doom Bar Maghull Novices' Chase.
Winner of the Kingmaker Novices' Chase at Warwick and the Pendil Novices' Chase at Kempton, Balder Succes bypassed last month's showpiece meeting at Cheltenham to ensure he was primed for his trip to Liverpool.

Re: Horse Racing
Kingman tops Greenham contenders.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Kingman, a leading contender for the Qipco 2000 Guineas, is one of 20 possible runners in what could be an epic renewal of the Aon Greenham Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
The unbeaten John Gosden-trained colt looked the real deal in two starts as a juvenile and will use this Group Three over seven furlongs as a first staging post before the Newmarket Classic on May 3.

Toormore on course for Craven.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Richard Hannon feels he has Toormore as ready as he can be for the Novae Bloodstock Insurance Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday week.
The champion juvenile, owned by Middleham Park Racing, has completed his major homework ahead of his first big test of the season.
Should all go to plan at Newmarket, Toormore will return to the headquarters of British Flat racing for the Qipco 2000 Guineas on May 3.

Re: Horse Racing
Appleby to test Guineas hopes.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Charlie Appleby is planning to test out a pair of Qipco 1000 Guineas contenders in next Wednesday's Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket.
"A couple could head to the Nell Gwyn," said the Godolphin trainer.
"Majeyda is a two-time Listed winner who ran behind Ihtimal in the May Hill. Then there's Folk Melody, who won impressively at Newmarket last summer."

Straight to Guineas for Rizeena.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Rizeena will bypass this weekend's Dubai Duty Free Stakes at Newbury and head straight for the Qipco 1000 Guineas after delighting trainer Clive Brittain in a workout on Tuesday morning.
The daughter of Iffraaj is among the market principals for the Newmarket Classic on May 4 having struck four times as a juvenile, registering victories in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh

Re: Horse Racing
Telescope sights set on Sandown.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Telescope is due to kick off his four-year-old campaign in the bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown on April 25.
The Galileo colt was considered a major contender for the Investec Derby this time last year, but missed the Epsom Classic after a number of early-season problems.

Balder chasing Punchestown riches.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Balder Succes will take on the best two-milers around at Punchestown after his convincing victory in the Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
Trainer Alan King is considering the Boylesports.com Champion Chase on April 29 to see if the talented six-year-old is again up to competing at the highest level.

Paul Nicholls has confirmed Tidal Bay as an intended runner in Saturday's Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr.
The 13-year-old unseated his rider early in the Grand National at Aintree last week and is set to make a swift return after pleasing

Re: Horse Racing
Kingston Hill added to Derby mix.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Racing Post Trophy winner Kingston Hill is among 15 second entries for the Investec Derby at Epsom on June 7.
Connections of the Roger Varian-trained colt have stumped up £8,000 to add the Doncaster Group One victor to the premier Classic, for which there are now 133 possibles.

Re: Horse Racing
Kingman facing Greenham test.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Kingman puts his Classic aspirations on the line in the Aon Greenham Stakes at Newbury.
The John Gosden-trained colt is third favourite at a top-priced 7-1 for the Qipco 2000 Guineas, as much as for his reputation at home as for his achievements on the track so far.

Re: Horse Racing
Gosden has King in waiting.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Kingman produced a Frankel-esque performance to tun the Aon Greenham Stakes into a procession at Newbury.
Confidently settled in mid-division of the 10-runner Group Three trial by James Doyle, the John Gosden-trained colt (15-8 favourite) cruised effortlessly on to the quarters of long-time leader Astaire before unleashing an electric turn of foot

Re: Horse Racing
Bowen calls on Al in Scotland.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Al Co was a shock 40-1 winner of the Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr.
Jamie Moore, fresh from his win on Sire De Grugy in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham, steered Peter Bowen's outsider to a famous victory, although he had a scare on the run-in when Al Co spooked and jinked to his right. The partnership was soon back intact.
