ANOTHER NAP AND DOUBLE FOR SHAMROCK: Shamrock yesterday landed his fourth winning nap from the last five to complete the course, and had another double in his trio. His naps sequence is 212111122B2411P131. Today there is no Irish racing, so he checks out Irish-bred runners in England.
As cool as a cucumber. That’s how I feel about lifting some more naps winnings. Cucumber Run (2.45) is the horse at Wetherby.
Nicky Henderson, getting almost a winner a day when he goes racing – 10 in the last fortnight – saddles this one, as his only runner at the northern-English track.
Cucumber Run was got by an Irish-bred stallion (Oscar) out of an Irish-bred mare (Back To Roost, a Presenting), and we’re talking the same Irish breeder who produced Somersby.
I shall rely on Jonjo O’Neill to complete my mission for another double. Mission Complete (2.15),who goes for the hat-trick, and four out of five, keeps on stepping up in trip but it doesn’t seem to bother him.
Though he is 10lb higher her, J P McManus is being claimed off, taking him off top weight, and it’s a drying day at Wetherby.
