LAST MEETING REVIEW

The Neil Mulholland-trained Brief Times made all in the feature contest under Sam Twiston-Davies.

Brief Times ran home a comfortable winner of our opener under Sam TwistonDavies. The David Bridgewater trained Dom Of Mary was giving gallant chase when falling two out and he will be entitled to come on for that run after a long layoff. Our second race saw Nick Gifford spring a bit of a surprise with Northern Poet. James Davies opted to keep the seven-year-old prominent throughout the race and emerged from the chasing pack turning for home. He would need every yard of the extended two-mile four-furlong trip but ran down the front running Tea And Chats on the run to the line. When Charles Byrnes sends one over from his base in Limerick, they rarely go unnoticed and Wajaaha was no different. Ridden by 5lb claimer Philip Byrnes, he ran home the uncontested leader to win by 10 lengths. It was a nice performance from a horse with some very nice hurdle form already in the book. Tap Tap Boom fairly scooted away from his rivals in our fourth race. Jay Tidball opted to hold the Alastair Ralph trained eight-year-old at the rear but made steady progress down the back straight to take up the running turning for home. The first time tongue tie clearly had the desired effect and he has since won again on his next start. Baddesley made it third time lucky at Plumpton after a second and sixth placed efforts next to his name at the track. He looked to appreciate the drop back in trip and the better ground almost certainly played to his strengths. Out penultimate race of the day went to Blade Runner, who picked up nicely to run away from his opponents coming down to the last. He stayed on strongly under Tom Cannon to give Chris Gordon a quick-fire double on the day. The first-time visor clearly helped and he may prove even better next time out if improving his jumping. Our finale presented an almighty shock as 100/1 shot El Hageb Rose rallied strongly to win by just over two lengths. It was a fine training performance by Paddy Butler as El Hageb Rose clearly isn’t the most straight forward of horses.
