SHADER’S UNBEATEN RUN
⭕ 2.40 Southwell (Churchill Stakes) Team Gosden is in top form (11231 in the last two days) including a Listed gamble landed at Southwell on Wednesday.
They are back there today, with Colin Keane riding for Juddmonte in another quality Listed on Shader, who had easy back-to-back success last September but was gelded for 2025.
He returned, taking third at Haydock (Daqman put up the winner, Stressfree, as a Hot Spot) but made it 3-3 on AW, a sequence which started at Southwell.
The AW hat-trick was completed at Kempton just before Guy Fawkes with a crackerjack nine-lengths defeat of Hardwicke runner-up and Eclipse third, West Wind Blows.
‘TELLY’ IS IN THE PICTURE
⭕ 2.25 Newbury Telepathique is 1112112, rising from a class-4 maiden hurdle strike two years ago to a mares’ Listed chase success in February.
Two years on from a 103 start, she was rated 148 for her return at the start of this month.
She was well beaten by Paggane that day but that looks not so much a problem more a form boost, since that was her first run since February and since Paggane backed it up with Wednesday’s superb Market Rasen success, tipped up in this column.
Paul Nicholls revises Twinjets’ target, dropping him down to this level from the December Gold Cup in two weeks’ time.
He won that gold with Frodon off 164 so must surely play Khalif Du Berlais off 156.
Whether or not Twinjets (141) wins this fascinating clash with Telepathique, he needs more time before he’s made of gold.
At 4.5 Twinjets and 6.3 Telepathique, I can enjoy today’s race, thanks to Betdaq Betting Exchange.
Filanderer has a love affair with success (form 111-1) but this is much tougher and he has always needed a long recovery gap between races.
Heltenham loves Newbury and a long run of moderate form (11 lengths behind Twinjets at Fontwell) could be wiped away by his wind op.
HENDERSON FORM IMPOSING
⭕ 3.00 Newbury Another fascinating clash here. Strong Leader, last year’s winner of this Long Distance Hurdle, is taken on by Impose Toi.
Such are the race conditions that they meet with Strong Leader giving 6lb to one officially rated only 3lb inferior and a year younger.
Impose Toi was one of those who three weeks back made a form breakthrough for Nicky Henderson after he confessed that many of his string were ‘a fortnight behind.’
He had the across-the-cards double I forecast for him yesterday with Khrisma and Noble Park and is now scoring at 30%, with eight winners on seven days at the races.
The money has been down, with the record of his outright favourites in the seven days six out of nine with a dazzling sequence of 101131211.
