Races & Results Saturday 11th November 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Josh The Boss 6/4, Brother to a useful hurdler and showed fair form in bumpers, scoring at Kempton in March. Surpassed that form when routing the opposition on return/debut in this sphere at Warwick (21f, good), doing the job in the manner of one destined for better things. The one to beat. Jumped well/scored impressively at Warwick five weeks ago; soft ground fine; solid claims.
6
2nd (6) (4/1 +20%) Magical King
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Magical King 4/1, Third on his sole start between the flags during the spring and promising start under Rules when going close in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft), just undone by inexperience. Improvement on the cards and highly likely to go one better before long. Went close in maiden at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut, staying on; open to improvement.
1
3rd (1) (10/3 +17%) Minella Double
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(1) Minella Double 10/3, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points. Disappointing on Rules debut in a bumper, but proved a different proposition when making a winning start over hurdles at Hexham (2½m, heavy) last month. Open to improvement and merits respect, for all that this is a much tougher assignment. Soft-ground point winner who rallied to make successful hurdle debut at Hexham; big player.
5
4th (5) (150/1 -20%) Wexford Park
150
150/1(-20%)
(5) Wexford Park 150/1, £36,000 buy after finishing in the money on both starts in Irish points earlier this year, but was only eighth of 10 starting out under Rules in a Bangor bumper (16.7f, soft). Pitched into a warm race for this hurdles debut and he's readily passed over. Placed in points; tailed off in bumper after getting loose beforehand; not discounted.
7
5th (7) (100/1 +20%) Pollyonesock
100
100/1(+20%)
(7) Pollyonesock 100/1, Stepped up on what she showed in bumpers when third of 10 on first completed start over hurdles at Stratford (16.3f, soft) in April. However, she didn't appear to get home upped to 21.2f at Ludlow since and she looks up against it in this company. Just modest form in bumpers and maiden/novice hurdles; plenty of improvement needed.
3
6th (3) (10/3 -21%) Flash In The Park
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(3) Flash In The Park 10/3, Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Foggy's Wall. Fetched £350,000 after winning an Irish maiden point by 20 lengths last November and has joined a respected yard as he embarks on a career under Rules. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Wide-margin Irish point winner subsequently sold for £350,000; interesting rules newcomer.
4
7th (4) (40/1 -233%) Valens Bruyee
40
40/1(-233%)
(4) Valens Bruyee 40/1, Didn't shape at all badly when fourth of 7 in what was probably a decent bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) last month. Likely to do better now moving up in trip for this hurdles bow, but there will be easier opportunities than this. Clear signs of ability when close fourth in Ffos Las bumper last month, staying on.
LTO Selection:
12:25 Aintree Maiden Hurdle (Class 3)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
An impressive winner at Warwick on his return last month, JOSH THE BOSS should have plenty more to come and the talented four-year-old could be hard to stop once again. Narrowly denied on his Rules debut at Uttoxeter, Magical King looks to be a key player, along with Minella Double, who won well on his hurdles bow at Hexham a month ago.
It was hard not to be impressed by the way JOSH THE BOSS went about his business on debut over hurdles at Warwick and, with the promise of better to come from this 4-y-o, he is hard to oppose. Magical King and Minella Double are both promising, too, with the former marginally preferred for forecast purposes, while point-winner Flash In The Park is one to note in the betting.
Flash In The Park is an interesting newcomer to hurdling but the safer option is JOSH THE BOSS, a wide-margin winner at Warwick.
(1) Giovinco 5/6, Winning pointer who made it 3-3 over hurdles when taking a 6-runner listed event at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April. Was upsides the eventual winner and going well when unseating 3 out on recent return/chase debut at Carlisle, and his mark for this handicap bow will probably be within reach. Gives lots of weight but he's a smart prospect who may well atone for his Carlisle mishap.
3
2nd (3) (7/2 +36%) Universal Folly
3.5
7/2(+36%)
(3) Universal Folly 7/2, Back-to-back winner of 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Hexham during the summer, and completed the hat-trick at the latter venue (2½m, heavy) back from a break last month. This is tougher, but 4 lb rise is fair enough and should make his presence felt. Mopping up in small fields; latest was on soft and this return to 3m can help.
2
3rd (2) (7/1 +22%) Tiger Orchid
7
7/1(+22%)
(2) Tiger Orchid 7/1, Dual hurdles winner last term and has already matched that tally over fences, bagging 23f Worcester handicaps on good to soft/heavy during the summer. Lost no caste in defeat when a clear second to the progressive Mole Court at Stratford and, though 5 lb higher now, he should make his presence felt. Ease of his 2m7f win on soft ground on penultimate start appears to give him a good shout.
5
4th (5) (4/1 +27%) Lord Of Kerak
4
4/1(+27%)
(5) Lord Of Kerak 4/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles and left chase bow well behind when runner-up at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) in March. Wasn't in the same form at Uttoxeter next time, but drop back to 2½m clearly counted against him that day and better expected back up in trip here. Ran well in the spring last two starts; sole win in 2020; 3lb out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GIOVINCO's chase debut may not have gone to plan at Carlisle, when unseating his rider three out, but he is the class act in this field and can take advantage. Lucinda Russell's charge always promised to go well over fences and he is preferred to Universal Folly, who arrives in top form having won his last three starts. Lord Of Kerak is the pick of the remainder.
Impressive in winning his three starts over hurdles last season, GIOVINCO was still going strongly when unseating Stephen Mulqueen at the third-last on his chase debut at Carlisle 16 days ago. He remains a bright prospect and will prove hard to beat. Moving back up in trip will help Lord of Kerak and he is next on the list ahead of the in-form Universal Folly.
There's no guarantee GIOVINCO would have won at Carlisle had he avoided that unseat but he'd made a fine impression until that point.
(10) Gentleman At Arms 9/1, Useful at his best. Might have needed the run after 5 months off when last of 5 at Uttoxeter 34 days ago and he is starting to look well handicapped again. 19lb below the mark he had this time last year, having underperformed last term.
2
2nd (2) (17/2 -42%) Iwilldoit
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(2) Iwilldoit 17/2, 2021 Welsh National winner who defied an absence of 13 months when following up in the Classic Chase at Warwick last winter. Respectable fifth in Midlands National only subsequent start last season. Good record fresh provides hope now reverting hurdles on return. Won 2021 Welsh National (3m6f, soft) and 2023 Classic Chase at Warwick (3m5f, heavy).
1
3rd (1) (10/3 +26%) Icare Allen
3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(1) Icare Allen 10/3, Smart performer who arrives on the back of some creditable efforts in defeat in big-field events in Ireland. Showed his stamina for an extended 2¾m when third at Galway on penultimate start and big player if seeing out the extra 2f now. Made the frame twice (2m/2m6f) at the Galway Festival early in August; dropped in class.
8
4th (8) (9/2 +44%) Starzov
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(8) Starzov 9/2, Won a novice hurdle at Cork in January. Struggled to make an impact in handicaps at spring festivals here and at Punchestown but he might fare better in these slightly calmer waters. Tenth of 22 over C&D (good to soft; acts on soft) in April, recording his highest rating.
7
5th (7) (10/3 -11%) Imperial Merlin
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(7) Imperial Merlin 10/3, Bumper winner who made it 3 wins from 4 completed starts over hurdles when seeing off 7 rivals in a 3m Ayr novice handicap in April, idling in front and value for more than the winning margin. Likely this 6-y-o can go on even better things this season. Saw out 3m well to win on handicap debut at Ayr (good to soft) in April when last seen.
6
6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Omar Maretti
18
18/1(-50%)
(6) Omar Maretti 18/1, Dual-point winner who bagged 4 of his first 5 starts under Rules but he lost his way over fences subsequently. Needs a return to hurdles to spark a revival back from 7 months off. Has a competitive mark on best chase form and a good first-time-out record.
3
7th (3) (6/1 -33%) Remastered
6
6/1(-33%)
(3) Remastered 6/1, Had wind surgery prior to making a winning reappearance in this race last year and returned to fences to finish second in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury and win at Kempton before the end of 2022. Ended the season with 2 disappointing runs but capable of bouncing back after break (had wind op again). Back from wind surgery to win this race last year; attempts the same today off 8lb higher.
4
8th (4) (50/1 -25%) Hillview
50
50/1(-25%)
(4) Hillview 50/1, Five-time winner over hurdles. Returned from 6 months off to finish a good second at Uttoxeter (23f) in May but not in anything like the same form at Cartmel only 9 days later and off again since. He does not look on a great mark and all his significant form is on good ground.
9
9th (9) (16/1 -14%) Risk And Roll
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Risk And Roll 16/1, Temperamental sort but he put it altogether to win a small-field chase at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in September. Should be competitive off 3 lb higher back hurdling but perhaps not an obvious one to follow up. Back from summer break with a chase win at Uttoxeter in September; considered.
11
10th (11) (25/1 +11%) Bushypark
25
25/1(+11%)
(11) Bushypark 25/1, Quite useful over hurdles and fences but his good days have been more infrequent in recent seasons. Probably best to look elsewhere on reappearance. Hurdles 2nd before Catterick chase win (3m6f, heavy) in January; plenty of modest shows.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -60%) Storm Nelson
40
40/1(-60%)
(5) Storm Nelson 40/1, Won 5 of his 8 starts during a very good spell with Sandy Thomson but left that yard after a below-par effort at Sandown in February and a watching brief is advised on his return for a new trainer. Won first two runs last term; tailed off in Feb; £1,500 buy out of Sandy Thomson's in May.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Aintree Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A comfortable winner on his handicap debut at Ayr when last seen, IMPERIAL MERLIN could be just the type to excel during his second season over hurdles and a mark of 127 gives him a big chance. Irish raider Icare Allen is of interest stepping up markedly in trip, while Storm Nelson has an excellent record when fresh and cannot be ruled out for new connections. Last year's winner Remastered and Classic Chase scorer Iwilldoit are also high on the shortlist.
REMASTERED ended last season out of sorts but the fact he started the previous campaign in such good form provides hope he can bounce back with a bang and land this race for the second year running. Icare Allen will be a major threat if his stamina holds now tackling 3m for the first time, while Imperial Merlin is a lightly-raced improver who likely has even more to come this season.
The greatest potential comes with IMPERIAL MERLIN (nap), who ended last season on a seriously positive note on his first attempt at 3m.
(2) Djelo 7/2, Winning hurdler very much the type to take to chasing for this yard. Conditions fine and one to keep an eye on.
1
2nd (1) (11/10 +33%) Master Chewy
1.1
11/10(+33%)
(1) Master Chewy 11/10, Looked a different proposition as he made a winning start over fences after 6 months off in C&D novices' handicap a fortnight ago, jumping fine and impressive as he pulled clear. Surely better than a handicapper and the one to beat if improving on that as expected.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 -7%) Netywell
8
8/1(-7%)
(8) Netywell 8/1, Made all in 5-runner handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f) in January and produced another good effort on his return at Carlisle, arguably doing too much too soon. This is tougher but he's one to note.
3
4th (3) (18/1 -64%) Real Stone
18
18/1(-64%)
(3) Real Stone 18/1, Opened his account over fences at Ffos Las (2m) in January and backed that up from 5 lb higher mark when runner-up behind promising rival at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) next time. Player dropped in trip on return after wind op.
10
5th (10) (25/1 +38%) Tullyhogue Fort
25
25/1(+38%)
(10) Tullyhogue Fort 25/1, Won Tipperary handicap chase over further in July and continues in form. This looks hard from out of the weights, though.
9
6th (9) (22/1 -57%) Lively Citizen
22
22/1(-57%)
(9) Lively Citizen 22/1, Multiple hurdles winner who impressed when making a winning chase debut at Perth (2m) in May, jumping fine and quickening to lead close home. There could be more to come from him in this sphere.
5
7th (5) (33/1 -267%) One Fine Man
33
33/1(-267%)
(5) One Fine Man 33/1, Thrived for switch to chasing following a lengthy absence, landing back-to-back 2m handicaps at Carlisle/Ayr in February, jumping soundly and battling well. Starts out for another new yard in a stiff-enough race after 7 months off.
7
8th (7) (25/1 -25%) Chanceux
25
25/1(-25%)
(7) Chanceux 25/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who ran well on first attempt over fences when second at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in December and a couple of good efforts after. Returns in a tough race.
4
9th (4) (6/1 +25%) Ukantango
6
6/1(+25%)
(4) Ukantango 6/1, Bumper/dual novice hurdle winner (including here) who improved further when second in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November. Just the one respectable effort after but now goes chasing (placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points) and could do better.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MASTER CHEWY emerged as a ready winner of a novices' handicap chase over this course and distance 13 days ago and it is entirely possible that a 10lb higher mark underestimates his scope for improvement over fences. Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding certainly created a favourable impression with his jumping that day and is hard to ignore despite the relatively quick turnaround. Djelo boasts some useful form over hurdles and is respected on his chasing debut. Real Stone is also noteworthy on his first start after wind surgery.
MASTER CHEWY was mightily impressive as he came clear on his first run over fences here a fortnight ago and can go in again if this doesn't come too soon. Lively Citizen looks another chaser to follow after his likeable victory at Perth in May. Netywell and Djelo are also considered.
Chasing debutant Djelo is tempting but MASTER CHEWY was so impressive here two weeks ago that he's taken to follow up.
(5) Gesskille 10/3, Acquitted himself really well when runner-up in this event and Becher Chase last term and arrives on back of victory in 9-runner listed chase (10/1) at Auteuil (21.9f, soft) 53 days ago. Looks on a decent mark and is a must for any shortlist. Beaten a nose in this last year and also runner-up in the Becher; French win in September.
9
2nd (9) (15/2 +0%) Percussion
7.5
15/2(+0%)
(9) Percussion 15/2, Revitalised by cheekpieces/tongue strap in spring of last year and upped his game when placed in both this event (off 5 lb higher) and Becher Chase. Clearly not right when last seen at Cheltenham in April but his talented handler will no doubt have targeted this contest. 3rd in this race last term (5lb lower today) after a summer break; also 3rd here in Becher.
7
3rd (7) (11/2 +39%) Frero Banbou
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(7) Frero Banbou 11/2, Positive start to last season when runner-up in Grade 3 Ascot handicap (16.8f) but was unable to build on that in 4 outings therefafter. Returns below last winning mark as a result but has yet to prove his stamina for this sort of test. Weakened right out of contention when trying 2m4f at Cheltenham Festival (14-1) in March.
3
4th (3) (7/1 +7%) Nassalam
7
7/1(+7%)
(3) Nassalam 7/1, Had a good first season over fences in 2021-22, scoring 3 times from 5 starts, but rather flattered to deceive in a winless campaign last term and his habit of making jumping errors remains a cause for concern. Could still be of interest beyond 2m4f, following two disappointments over 3m1f.
1
5th (1) (4/1 +27%) Fantastic Lady
4
4/1(+27%)
(1) Fantastic Lady 4/1, Very useful chaser who won a 3m Market Rasen listed mares' race on her reappearance last year and ended campaign with excellent placed efforts in the Topham over C&D and Grade 2 Oaksey Chase at Sandown. Looks sure to make her presence felt. Second in the C&D Topham (soft) in April off 4lb lower, coming from right out the back.
10
6th (10) (22/1 +12%) Yccs Portocervo
22
22/1(+12%)
(10) Yccs Portocervo 22/1, Finally took advantage of a much-reduced mark returning from 7 months off at Uttoxeter (20.9f) in May and followed up over same C&D a month later. 7 lb higher mark not insurmountable on old form but takes on much stiffer opposition here. Resurgent for front-running wins over 2m5f at Uttoxeter in May (soft) and June (good).
8
7th (8) (80/1 -100%) Ganapathi
80
80/1(-100%)
(8) Ganapathi 80/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who landed pair of small-field novice chases for Willie Mullins in summer of 2022. Down the field last 3 starts for Patrick Neville and fared no better on debut for new yard at Kelso last month. Kelso run for new yard may have blown away some cobwebs but others bring more solid claims.
6
8th (6) (11/1 -57%) Cooper's Cross
11
11/1(-57%)
(6) Cooper's Cross 11/1, Dual winner last term who was running a cracker when hampered and fell 4 out in Topham over C&D in April. Recorded a personal best when runner-up in Scottish National subsequently and has likely been aimed at this prize. Badly hampered (fell) four out when in contention in C&D Topham in April, in a fine season.
4
9th (4) (20/1 -43%) Born By The Sea
20
20/1(-43%)
(4) Born By The Sea 20/1, Appeared to excel himself (from 6 lb out of the weights) when sixth in Grand National in April but not built on that effort since and connections will be hoping a return to this venue brings about revival in form. Ran a cracker to finish 10l sixth in the Grand National here (4m2f, good to soft) in April.
11
|U| (11) (6/1 +14%) Half Shot
6
6/1(+14%)
(11) Half Shot 6/1, Dual winner last term who ended campaign with fine seventh from out of the handicap in Scottish National in April. Looked as good as ever when just beaten on Kelso reappearance (26.2f) and could prove dangerous if taking to these fences. Did well last term and better than ever with narrow defeat at Kelso (3m2f) five weeks ago.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Beaten just a nose in this race last year, Gesskille has a live chance of going one place better off just a 5lb higher mark. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero picked up a Listed race in France with the gelding on his latest start and he can go well once again. However, FANTASTIC LADY was second in the Topham over C&D in April and gets the vote off just 4lb higher. Cooper's Cross and Born By The Sea complete the shortlist.
GESSKILLE came close twice over these fences last season and returned to winning ways at Auteuil last time. Proven in testing conditions, he makes plenty of appeal. Coopers Cross improved throughout last season and was bang in contention when coming to grief here in April. He is feared most, whilst Fantastic Lady and Percussion also bring valuable course form to the table and are much respected too.
Half Shot is second on the list but is up against a strong group of those who have already run well here. GESSKILLE gets the vote.
(1) Brewin'upastorm 7/2, Smart performer who returned from wind surgery to land a second win in the National Spirit at Fontwell (19f, good) in February. Clearly didn't see out the 24.7f trip when last seen here during the spring and likely to make a bold bid to repeat his 2021 success in this race. 2021 winner; has a good record fresh, handles the mud and has to be respected.
2
3rd (2) (11/4 +21%) Millers Bank
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(2) Millers Bank 11/4, Drew a blank over fences last season, but he was set some stiff tasks (contested Grade 1s on final 3 starts of that campaign) and it will be interesting to see what he can do back hurdling (fine third in the Aintree Hurdle on latest run in this sphere in April 2021). Lost his way over fences last season but interesting on old form and likes Aintree.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Aintree Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The lightly-raced WEST BALBOA arrives here seeking a hat-trick following two wins earlier this year, with the most recent of those victories coming over 3m at this venue in April. Brewin'upastorm unseated his rider in this race last year but is feared most based on his victory in the previous renewal in 2021, while Millers Bank should not be completely discounted.
Things didn't go to plan for MILLERS BANK over fences last term, but he boasts a solid strike rate in this sphere and was placed in a Grade 1 at this course on his latest hurdles start at the 2021 Grand National meeting. The 9-y-o gets the nod ahead of West Balboa, who ended last season on a high here and will be a big threat if going to post (also engaged at Wincanton). Brewin'upastorm landed this race two years ago and has to be feared, for all that he has a little bit to find on these terms.
A fascinating contest can go to WEST BALBOA who is improving fast and can make the most of the weight she receives from the geldings.
(5) Norah's Legacy 9/1, Yeats gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Lord Roccoco. Dam (h99) 2m hurdle winner, also 1¼m winner on Flat. Not discounted. Half-brother by Yeats to the 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Lord Roccoco; bred by his trainer.
7
1st (7) (15/2 -50%) Rocheval
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(7) Rocheval 15/2, Kapgarde gelding. Dam (c111/h114), hurdle/chase winner in France, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) County Zen. Bred to need more time and distance but can't be completely dismissed given his connections. Cost 65,000euros as a 2yo and fits the bill on pedigree.
3
2nd (3) (10/1 -25%) I Wish You
10
10/1(-25%)
(3) I Wish You 10/1, Night Wish gelding. Dam hurdle winner in France. Not much to go on regards pedigree, but looks the stable pick on jockey bookings, so merits respect. Out of a French 2m1f hurdle winner; one of three newcomers for Lucinda Russell.
1
3rd (1) (Evens +20%) Clap Of Thunder
0
Evens(+20%)
(1) Clap Of Thunder Evens, €30,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam (h105), 2½m hurdle winner, sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Voler La Vedette. From a good family and stable is going well, so worth a chance to make a winning start. Has a classy pedigree and his trainer won this race in 2020 with a smart performer.
2
4th (2) (11/2 +31%) Don Rafael
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(2) Don Rafael 11/2, Always Dreaming gelding. Dam smart 10.5f winner on Flat in France. Bred to have enough speed for this sphere and betting should be informative. By a Kentucky Derby winner out of a French Listed winner; worth a market check on debut.
6
5th (6) (11/1 +0%) Normy Knight
11
11/1(+0%)
(6) Normy Knight 11/1, Sir Percy gelding. Dam, lightly-raced maiden over hurdles, 1¼m-16.2f winner on Flat. Worth a market check. By Derby winner Sir Percy out of a 1m2f-2m winner; certainly plausible on paper.
8
6th (8) (12/1 +0%) Simba's Roar
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) Simba's Roar 12/1, Oasis Dream gelding. Half-brother to 6f/7f winner Akamu. Dam 11f winner. Worthy of interest based on his Flat pedigree/shrewd stable. Bred more for speed than most of these; represents an upwardly mobile stable.
9
7th (9) (66/1 +34%) Apples Destiny
66
66/1(+34%)
(9) Apples Destiny 66/1, Sir Percy filly. Half-sister to poor hurdler Happy Index. Dam (c138/h135) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m). Others look more appealing on paper. The only filly in the line-up; stable 0-36 in bumpers in the last five seasons.
4
|RO| (4) (9/1 +36%) Knomorediamonds
9
9/1(+36%)
(4) Knomorediamonds 9/1, Balko gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Hardy Bloke and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Gateau de Miel, stays 3¼m. Stoutly bred and likely to come into his own over longer distances in due course.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A tricky puzzle to solve with all nine of these having their first taste of competitive racecourse action, but CLAP OF THUNDER stands out as the most intriguing runner. Nigel Twiston-Davies has a useful record in bumpers and this son of Mount Nelson is related to plenty of winners and makes most appeal. I Wish You and Rocheval are others to consider.
Without the benefit of market clues, it could pay to side with CLAP OF THUNDER, who is from a good family and represents an in-form yard that had an impressive winner in this sphere recently. Simba's Roar and I Wish You are also of interest, although a case can be made for the majority on paper.
All nine are newcomers. The vote goes to the well-bred CLAP OF THUNDER whose yard has a very solid record in bumpers.
