Sandown (30 / QP/PP: 30) Zaterdag 31 Januari 2015 1e Koers 13:40uur - 3318 m 4e Koers 15:25uur - 4122 m Wedmarkt: 15/8 Pain Au Chocolat, 11/4 The Saint James, 11/4 Old Guard, 11/2 Gorman, 12/1 Lil Rockerfeller Wedmarkt: 13/8 Champagne West, 2/1 Irish Saint, 9/2 Splash Of Ginge, 13/2 Gitane Du Berlais, 14/1 Grumeti Racingpost: THE SAINT JAMES made quite a splash in his races over French hurdles and fences, and if also proficient over these different obstacles he would have a good chance to make a winning British debut. If that 320,000euros purchase turns out to need more time then Pain Au Chocolat may be the one to take advantage, having made a very positive impression at Plumpton.[Richard Austen] Racingpost: Five good novices in a well up to scratch renewal. IRISH SAINT (nap) and Champagne West have the best form and are the two to appeal most, with ready preference for the first-named, who was the better of the two over hurdles and showed improvement on his 2m chase form here when upped to 2m5f and winning at Ascot last time. This is a tricky track to negotiate for a novice, so his previous course experience may well be an advantage too.

He should take plenty of catching, though he cannot be a confident choice as good novices Bristol De Mai (who is next best) and Jollyallan are both unbeaten over hurdles and open to further improvement.

He is given another chance. It looks tight among the others, with Ballygarvey just preferred to Brick Red as the chief danger.[Richard Austen] Postdata: French Opera Spotlight: Festive Affair RP Ratings: Brick Red Topspeed: Ballygarvey Selecties GBI: 7 Arkaim - 3 Ballygarvey - 2 Brick Red - 8 Greywell Boy 5e Koers 16:00uur - 4424 m Wedmarkt: 5/1 Polamco, 6/1 Mijhaar, 13/2 Saffron Wells, 15/2 Cadoudoff, 9/1 Junction Fourteen, 11/1 Imperial Leader, 11/1 Invicta Lake, 11/1 El Dancer, 11/1 Hansupfordetroit, 12/1 Pay The King, 12/1 Anteros, 12/1 Mr Grey Racingpost: There is a lot in his progressive record and the manner of his win last time to suggest that the 6yo POLAMCO, who started over hurdles only this season, has further marked improvement in him. He is surely capable of winning off this 4lb higher mark so gets the vote despite this also being a more competitive race. 10yo Hansupfordetroit can provide a big threat if the ground proves testing enough and Imperial Leader has a chance despite his 267 days off. Mr Grey is a very lightly raced sort with improvement in him and most of the rest have each-way possibilities.[Richard Austen] Postdata: Anteros Spotlight: Polamco RP Ratings: Imperial Leader Topspeed: Saffron Wells Selecties GBI: - - - 6e Koers 16:35uur - 4927 m Wedmarkt: 13/2 There's No Panic, 13/2 Just A Par, 13/2 Hadrian's Approach, 8/1 Bertie Boru, 8/1 Ardkilly Witness, 8/1 Theatrical Star, 8/1 Bennys Mist, 9/1 Le Reve, 9/1 Via Sundown, 14/1 Beforeall, 14/1 And The Man, 16/1 Cantlow Racingpost: In an open race, Theatrical Star should be on the premises and Ardkilly Witness may have turned a corner with his performance last time at Kempton, but preference is for BERTIE BORU who made up so much ground on his latest start to take second behind the impressive Unioniste over C&D. November's C&D winner Le Reve is also on the shortlist.[Richard Austen] Postdata: Theatrical Star Spotlight: Bertie Boru RP Ratings: Cantlow Topspeed: Bennys Mist Selecties GBI: 8 Bertie Boru - 6 Ardkilly Witness - 1 Hadrian's Approach - 5 Theatrical Star Toteplacepot voorbeeldticket Prijs: 6,40 Race 1 9 Polamco - 6 El Dancer Race 2 2 Jollyallan - 1 Garde La Victoire Race 3 7 Arkaim - 3 Ballygarvey Race 4 5 Gitane Du Berlais - 1 Champagne West Race 5 Race 6 8 Bertie Boru - 6 Ardkilly Witness Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
