J’ai Froid returns to form at Leicester

by Latest NewsWinners

J’Ai Froid returned to form on ground he likes under a good front running ride from John Kington . Hopefully he can build on this when stepped up in trip again.

J'AI FROID, without a win since rattling off a four-timer between 3m and 3m2f in early 2021, took advantage of his plummeting handicap mark on ground that suits, strong in the closing stages. Rated as high as 147 two years ago, it'll be fascinating to see if can build on this. He'll obviously have the option of going back up in trip.

Captain Ivan follows up at Perth

by Latest NewsWinners

Raised 8lbs by the handicapper for his recent Southwell win, Captain Ivan won a shade cleverly under a fine ride from Paddy Cowley to keep the yard momentum going.

CAPTAIN IVAN went up 8lb following his recent easy success at Southwell. He bided his time in running down the long-time leader and took control just before the winning line. He is clearly thriving and will remain one to consider when he goes for the hat-trick

And The New wins Market Rasen Feature

by Latest NewsWinners

And The New continued his good run of form to win The Summer Plate Trial at Market Rasen under a fine positive ride from Adam Wedge.

AND THE NEW, unsuited by the track and drop back in trip at Cartmel last time, bounced right back to his best, winning a shade cosily. The Summer Plate will demand more but he's in cracking form and it'll be no surprise to see this veteran in the mix.

Whistleinthedark makes it 4 from 4

by Latest NewsWinners

Whistleinthedark made the long journey to Perth worthwhile by making it 4 from 4 over fences this season, all in the capable hands of Patrick Cowley

WHISTLEINTHEDARK, who held an alternative entry at Punchestown this week, didn't have too much difficulty making it 4-4 over fences despite the hood being left off. Ridden by Patrick Cowley each time, he's already gone up 25lb since going chasing and is on the verge of smart form.

Whistleinthedark stays on well at Kempton

by Latest NewsWinners

QUOTES: WHISTLEINTHEDARK has been going well since he went chasing and I was hopeful coming here today. He’s been progressive and I think he’ll go to Aintree next month for a handicap – Laura Morgan, trainer.

WHISTLEINTHEDARK was dropping in trip, but the rain that fell beforehand made this more of a test. Always up with the pace before taking over with a mile left, he looked to be a sitting duck for the runner-up coming to the last, but his stamina came in useful and he kept on pulling out more on the run in to make it 3-3 over regulation fences. Winner of a two-runner novice chase last time, he was 21lb higher than when successful in a novices' handicap the time before which shows how much he is improving.

Charging Point off the mark at Southwell

by Latest NewsWinners

Delighted to see Charging Point break his duck at Southwell having broken him in at North Lodge Equine during Lockdown ! A promising run and looks like he will stay 3 miles in due course.

Racing Post Ratings assessment: the winner was well in on his recent C&D run and arguably took a small step up on that effort with the second running to his mark. CHARGING POINT just about avoided the drama on the bend after three out, nipping around the inside and really seeing his race out well having got to the front. This was his first win at the seventh attempt and there should be further improvement in him, being just a 5yo.
