The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 24th - 30th April 2023

Weekly Eye-Catchers 24th – 30th April 2023

 

26th April – 3:25 Catterick 

 

Clear White Light 

 

Very well backed from big prices into single figures, never picked up the bridle for the whole trip, stayed on very well from miles back, maybe some headgear to spark him up. Will be looking to back him next time over 1m4f+.

 

26th April – 5:40 Lingfield

 

Inverlochy 

 

Slow away veered violently right, held up, travelled strongly, ridden for luck, and stayed on very well into a never nearer 4th. Keen to have onside NTO 

 

27th April – 1:50 Beverley 

 

Hooray For Hazel 

 

Fine stamp of a 2yo, looked very green with awkward head carriage early, outpaced over 5f but ran on nicely under tender handling. Will have come on massively for his debut, looks a horse to follow when stepping up in trip 

 

27th April - 8:00 Chelmsford

 

Protest Rally 

 

Dwelt start, keen in midfield, short of room, snatched back, made decent headway while still green, should come on for his first run back for 210 days, handicap mark next, be interested off marks 62 or lower.

 

29th April - 3:45 Haydock 

 

Montassib 

 

Very well backed, ran well from miles off the pace, caught well too far back in the run. Maybe being prepped for a big heritage handicap over 7f. keep onside.

 

29th April - 9:00 Wolverhampton 

 

Mudlahhim 

 

Ran a much-improved race after running keenly over a trip what may be slightly too far for him. Dropped stones in the weights and looks ready to strike when the toungestrap is applied. Back over 7f-1m on AW, bigger bet with toungestrap on.

 

30th April - 4:35 Wetherby 

 

Star Of Aria 

 

Biggest Eye-Catcher of the week for me, missed the break badly, trailed 10l but wasn’t rushed up back into contention. Pushed along around 3f but wasn’t fully asked to go, responded very well late and started to run on past others, jockey still didn’t pick up his whip and was very easy on him. Ran on into 2nd what was very impressive, step up to 6f looks the obvious play for next time.

 

30th April - 6:15 Musselburgh 

 

Gioia Cieca

 

Tardy start, niggled along early in rear, slightly tapped for toe early, picked bridle up travelling well enough, not clear run-on rail, ran on into moderate 4th from an unpromising position. Looks well handicapped on old form, Hes ready to strike over 7f.

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
