No slip,noproblem!

Racing on Sunday 23rd April began with an impressive victory for the short-priced favourite, Telhimlisten in the first. The Jennie Candlish trained gelding went clear from three out before running out an easy winner by fourteen lengths under a good ride from Luca Morgan. Gary Moore’s Not Another Muddle was the only other to complete but after weakening from three out, proved no match for the winner. Saved By The River was pulled up after losing his right-fore shoe.

The second proved to be more competitive, with Milton Harris’ Highland Frolic securing the win by a length and a half from the Gary Moore trained Aviles. The four-year-old did well under some late pressure before going clear in the run in to secure the first win of his career at the twelfth attempt.

Doyen For Money seemed to relish the slight step up in trip, scoring for the first time since his debut in February 2022. He kept on well, just holding off Independence to win by half a length, the first-time tongue strap clearly a benefit. George Baker’s Hello Sunshine was prominent throughout and rounded out the podium positions.

Robert Walford and Bryan Carver joined forces to take the fourth race as Tip Top Mountain won by two and three quarter lengths. His jumping was a touch suspect as he was jumping right throughout but he did enough, going clear approaching the last. It was Andy Irvine’s Gold Clermont, who won here last time, running in second after staying on well.

The fifth produced an edge of your seat finish as the Neil Mulholland trained Crossing The Bar just snatched the win from Ramo by a neck after an excellent ride by Richie McLernon. The six-year-old was held up in the rear for much of the contest before challenging two out, finally taking the lead in the final strides.

The penultimate race saw Oliver Sherwood’s Jersey Lady stay on well under some late pressure to score over the Anthony Honeyball trained Captain Claude. It was a strong ride from winning jockey Miss Victoria Malzard, who kept her ride in touch with the leaders before making her move about three out.

The days finale saw the team of Neil King and Jack Quinlan come together as Linda Moon secured a hard-fought victory in the bumper by three quarters of a length. Making just her second start, the filly ran well and managed to go one better than her debut second. Sheena West’s A Tickatickatiming led for much of the contest but was caught just over a furlong out and could only manage second.
