Un De Sceaux was a surprise star name amongst nine entries for the Betfred "Double Delight" Contenders Hurdle at Sandown on Saturday. Un De Sceaux: Entered at Sandown The six-year-old has earned quotes of 10/1 and 12/1 for the Stan James Champion Hurdle even though his trainer Willie Mullins has a powerful entry headed by titleholder Hurricane Fly. Un De Sceaux's jockey Ruby Walsh is unsure of running plans at this stage, but told Racing UK: "I'm not sure whether he runs or not but I haven't got great rides at Fairyhouse so I hope he does. "He's a very exciting horse - he's four from four - (he was) very good at Punchestown last season in a maiden hurdle and then again at the (Punchestown) Festival. (This season) he's bolted in at Thurles and bolted in at Navan. "He's just able to go a very strong gallop and sustain it through the middle of the race to the end of the race without having a breather and can sustain a seriously strong gallop." Un De Sceaux has won all his four starts over hurdles and would be taking a step up in class in this Listed contest as one of his potential rivals is Melodic Rendezvous, around a 25/1 shot for the Champion. Jeremy Scott's stable star got his season back on track after a below-par run in the Fighting Fifth at Cheltenham when winning the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock earlier this month. Nicky Henderson has put in Whisper, who has an alternative entry on Saturday in the Burns Pet Nutrition Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las. The list, after the race had been re-opened until today as insufficent entries were initially received, is filled by First Avenue, Act Of Kalanisi, Clonusker, Fergall, House Party and Sonoran Sands.

Hanoverian Baron is set to have his first start since October in the £20,000 Coral Mobile Just Three Clicks To Bet Handicap over 12 furlongs at Southwell on Thursday. Hanoverian Baron: Set for Southwell Tony Newcombe's charge ran some respectable races on turf last year, finishing second to Sir John Hawkwood at York in May and seventh in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock Park in July. He rounded off his turf campaign with third in a competitive 12-furlong handicap back at York in October. The nine-year-old's most recent success came on the All-Weather in March, 2013, when annexing a 12-furlong Class 2 handicap at Wolverhampton by three quarters of a length. Newcombe reported: "Hanoverian Baron is in real good order. He likes soft ground and gets the trip well, so we are very hopeful. "He won at Wolverhampton last year and then ran a really good race at York when he was just beaten by Sir Michael Stoute's horse (Sir John Hawkwood). "He seems to have lost nothing with maturity and has never been over-raced because he has always had a few niggling problems, which means he has had fairly restricted campaigns. "It depends if we get him qualified, but we will probably go for the £50,000 apprentice handicap on All-Weather Championship Finals Day. He would be a very straightforward ride and was second at Lingfield Park last year, so we know he handles the track. "After that, he will probably go back to York's Dante meeting for the Jorvik Handicap, which he has a good record in." Graham Lee takes the ride on Hanoverian Baron for the first time. The Southwell line-up on Thursday also includes Mark Johnston's Hunting Ground who will shoulder a 6lb penalty following an impressive victory at Wolverhampton on Friday. Johnston has his team in fantastic form, with 11 All-Weather winners from just 19 runners between January 16 and Tuesday when his only runner, Thatchmaster, was an easy winner at Southwell. This remarkable run of form has propelled Johnston to the top of the Champion Trainer Table of the 2013/14 All-Weather Championships, with 29 winners up to and including the end of racing today. David Evans and Mick Appleby follow on 25, Marco Botti on 19 and John Gosden on 15. The Champion All-Weather Trainer gains £10,000. Also in Thursday's race are multiple course scorer Masterful Act, consistent performer Presburg, Dewala, Flying Powe and Icebuster.

Jockey Ruby Walsh has admitted Annie Power's exuberance would be a slight concern if she runs in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Annie Power: Too exuberant for three miles? Willie Mullins' unbeaten mare stretched her unbeaten record to 10 races at Doncaster on Saturday but she was noticeably keen before the race. Annie Power has three options in March - the Champion Hurdle, the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle and the World Hurdle over three miles. "I don't think any of the three races would inconvenience her," Walsh told Racing UK. "Does she have enough experience over two miles for a Champion Hurdle, do you want to expose her to At Fishers Cross and Big Buck's over three miles and risk emptying her out, or do you throw her in against Quevega? Thankfully, I don't have to make that decision. "She's a good mare. The most impressive she was for me was at Cheltenham against Zarkandar. I have no worries about her getting three miles. "Even last year when she won a Grade One over two and a half miles the further we went the better she went, but she doesn't lack pace. "She was more on her toes at Doncaster than she has been any other day but she's always been highly strung - so that (going over three miles at Cheltenham) would be a worry. But that's part of every big race, how they handle the parade and the build up. "I wish I had a say in which races they ran in but I have none. It's the downside of having a good job, having to choose between good horses, but that's life."

Dan Skelton has been forced to rule his stable star Willow's Saviour out of next Saturday's Betfair Hurdle at Newbury after he met with a minor setback. Willow's Saviour: Ruled out of Betfair Hurdle The seven-year-old has improved in leaps and bounds since joining Skelton this season, winning his last three races at Ascot, Musselburgh and back at Ascot when waltzing away with The Ladbroke. While the injury is reportedly nothing serious, Skelton feels he would not be at his best next week and he will head straight to the Cheltenham Festival. "Willow's Saviour will not be taking his chance in next Saturday's big handicap after pulling a muscle in training," said Skelton on his website, www.danskeltonracing.com. "It's nothing to worry about long term and he'll be back on the gallops in no time but going to a race like that, on ground that's highly likely to be very testing is simply not an option when you've any chinks in your armour. "His next race will be the Sky Bet Supreme at the Festival on March 11

There are not many courses in Britain and Ireland without the word heavy in their going description at present but Musselburgh is one ahead of its Cheltenham Festival Trials Day on Sunday. Nicky Henderson: Wants to have runners at Musselburgh The going is currently good to soft at the Edinburgh venue and while that may ease before raceday, the meeting is not in any doubt. Clerk of the course Harriet Graham said: "We have no worries at present. "The going is good to soft and while it is damp today it is supposed to be dry and cold tomorrow. "On Friday a band of rain is coming, but the Met Office says we are pretty sheltered and could get between two to eight millimetres. Obviously the ground would ease if we got the upper end of that but then on Saturday it will be cold and windy. "Believe it or not on Sunday there should be some sunshine. It won't be toasty warm, but it is positive nonetheless. "I spoke to NIcky Henderson and Paul Nicholls on Monday and they both want to have runners, but obviously it depends on the ground - they want a decent surface if they are coming up. "So, hopefully we don't get too much rain on Friday but Musselburgh is one of the best draining courses and our all-weather bend really helps. We've also go a lot of fresh ground to use."

Sky Bet, sponsoring the Sky Bet Supreme Novices Hurdle on the first day of The Festival for the first time, are backing an additional race on "The Road To Cheltenham", the Grade Two Sky Bet Dovecote Novices' Hurdle over two miles at Kempton Park on Saturday, February 22. Vautour: Favourite for the Supreme with the sponsors This will be the third Grade Two contest the Leeds firm are supporting on "The Road To Cheltenham" and follows on from the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Trial Hurdle (won by The Liquidator) at Cheltenham in November and the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Trial Hurdle (Zamdy Man) at Haydock Park earlier this month. Michael Shinners, Sky Bet Racing PR Manager, commented: "Sky Bet are delighted to be sponsoring the Dovecote from Kempton, which is the final recognised trial before the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle. "At this stage, the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle looks a wide open renewal, but there is still time for a significant performance to impact the market and hopefully this will come at Kempton on February 22." Carey Buckler, Regional Sponsorship Manager, Cheltenham, said: "I am really pleased that we have been able to secure the Dovecote at Kempton for Sky Bet, to extend their "Road To Cheltenham" sponsorship around the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle. "The Dovecote is very much a key trial for horses targeting the opening race of The Festival and I'm sure we will see a strong line-up next month." Phil White, General Manager at Kempton Park Racecourse, added: "We are very pleased that Sky Bet are sponsoring the Dovecote Novices' Hurdle on Saturday, February 22. "The Grade Two race makes up part of the card for the Kempton Park Chase Day, one of our feature meetings of the year at Kempton Park, adding to the high-quality racing on offer that day. "The Sky Bet Dovecote Novices' Hurdle has had winners who have gone on to show themselves as very progressive horses, with the most notable one recently being the Gary Moore-trained Sire De Grugy, successful in 2011, who is now challenging for top honours as a two-mile chaser."

Kempton Park, 29 January 2014
The Stewards held an enquiry adjourned from 22 January 2014 to consider why Joe Fanning, the rider of MY MANEKINEKO, placed fourth, had appeared to stop riding shortly before the winning post. Having heard his evidence and viewed recordings of the race they noted his explanation that he felt that the gelding pulled very hard in the early stages and emptied before the line.
4.50, first race
The record of vaccinations in the passport of VERGALITY RIDGE (IRE), trained by Ron Harris, did not comply with the Rules of Racing. The Stewards found the trainer in breach of Rule (E)18 and fined him £140.
5.50, third race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider why KAYLEE, trained by Brett Johnson, entered the Parade Ring after the signal to mount had been given. Having heard his evidence they accepted his explanation that he had difficulty fitting the first time visor on the mare.
7.20, sixth race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, ARTEMIS (IRE), ridden by Joe Fanning and trained by Conrad Allen, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer who stated that the filly had benefitted from being dropped in trip and from wearing a hood for the first time. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of ARTEMIS (IRE) could be reviewed.
29/01/2014 ==========================================
Kempton Park, 29 January 2014
4.50, first race

Adam Kirby, the rider of SURREY DREAM (IRE), unplaced, reported that the gelding moved poorly.
6.50, fifth race
George Baker, the rider of CORPORAL MADDOX, unplaced, reported that the gelding hung right.

Plenty of returning course and distance runners in the Meydan opener from the race won by Ahtoug 3 weeks ago. He has a massive chance from a 6lb higher mark but this looks tougher and he's too short for me. Most likely winner is unsurprisingly the favourite who looked as though a drop back to 5 furlongs woud suit after being nabbed on the tapeta over 6 last time. This race comes only a week later but he should improve for the run having been returning from a 6 month absence. There's nothing to suggest he is overpriced though and I'd rather be on Medicean Man who won this last year off 1lb lower in a really god time. He goes so well fresh and with Harry Bentley on top and, while fully exposed, I can see him in the frame at 10/1. The other 2 I like were a little disappointing last time. Racy ran on encouragingly and is eased 1lb but that does come after a slightly disappointing effort last time in the Merhee race. My Propeller is a filly with really solid form and she could be coming into this as a Group 3 winner had she not been snatched up in the Flying Five Stakes in Ireland. She got no run last time, drawn widest of all and searching for cover and I can't believe she is 18/1 for this given she was 7's last time and had excuses. She looked in need of the run and Frankie Dettori, who has an excellent record on top, is back doing the steering. She likes to chase a strong pace and the favourite's presence on her inside will be a big plus Meydan 14.40 - Medicean Man 1pt e/w Meydan 14.40 - My Propeller 1pt e/w
The fillies Group 2 is a super contest and it's very exciting to see Certify back on a racecourse for the first time in 16 months. However, I can't quite see how she is ahead of Flotilla in the market and the French filly makes most appeal at 5/2. Appleby's filly may be unbeaten and I'd love to see her win but fillies change a great deal between 2,3 and 4 and taking 7/4 about her looks a risky proposition. Her form ahead of Sky lantern is not to be sniffed at and if she has progressed in a similar fashion then she's the one to beat but who knows? Steeler had a similar profile and he was very keen on his return to the track so it will be interesting to see how Certify settles. Flotilla has had excuses since her French Guineas win and this is the first time she returns to decent ground over a mile. Meydan 15:50 - Flotilla 2pt win
Another French filly I'm looking forward to seeing over here is Tasady and she could be too good for these now dropping back into Group 2 company for the first time since winning at Deauville back in August. She does look vulnerable at 9/2 for debut out here and Mushreq would make more appeal fo the front 2. Hoewever, the pair I want to back are Steeler and Trade Storm. The former made a frustrating debut out here last time but it can't be denied he has serious class and, if he settles, I think he is the one to beat. He'll handle the extra furlong on breeding and may fair better back on turf. Trade Storm just gets the nod because I think he should be shorter than Steeler given his form out here but they both sit pretty on 7/1. He wants a decent gallop and that is the ponderable as it is far from guaranteed. He'll be held up and often looks unlucky but his effort in Group 1 company over course and distance at the end of March gives him every right to win this. He is better drawn this afternoon to get settled in behind and go the shortest way round, and this place really brings out the best in him. Let's hope he doesn't need the run as he did last year.

Nicholls keen on National pair Trainer Paul Nicholls believes the Crabbie's Grand National should suit both Tidal Bay and Rocky Creek. They are 25-1 chances for the race at Aintree in April. ========================================= Paul Nicholls on Big Buck's "I'm very pleased with him. If people thought I was going to have him at his best, they were mistaken. We only want him at his best on one day in March.

Harry Fry has revealed that Rock On Ruby may head straight to the Racing Post Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival in March as the weather continues to frustrate. Rock On Ruby: Running out of time The former Champion Hurdle winner missed an intended run at Doncaster last weekend due to the testing ground and the continuing rain is causing Fry difficulties as he attempts to get more experience into his stable star. Rock On Ruby has managed just the one run over fences so far when winning at Plumpton in December and he may now head to Gloucestershire with just that run under his belt. "There probably is a chance now we could go straight to the Festival with the way the weather is. We seem to get a couple of dry days and then the heavens open again so nowhere really gets a chance to dry out," the Seaborough trainer revealed in his latest blog for StanJames.com. "We're running out of time to get that extra run in which we'd very much like to do but we're not going to run him for the sake of it. He's getting better and better each week and we'd rather do the work at home and keep taking a step forward than a big step back in very soft conditions. "Noel (Fehily) has been in and schooled him this morning and he's delighted with him. Every year he just seems to get better and better from January onwards. He's thriving but the trouble is we can't get away with his wind on the soft ground anymore so we don't want to use up our lives on the bottomless ground and knock him backwards. "The Arkle's still the plan but then we obviously need Cheltenham to come up with good ground to be in with a chance. If it's not good or half-decent ground then we can forget our chance. At that level we need to have decent ground with his wind," he added.

Doyly Carte is set on take on Quevega in the OLBG Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival after finishing second to the Irish ace's stablemate Annie Power at Doncaster on Saturday. Doyly Carte: Will take on Quevega The Donald McCain-trained filly did as well as could be expected when she took the runner-up spot behind Willie Mullins' unbeaten Annie Power to book her place in the race, registered as the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle. Quevega has won the last five runnings of that contest at the Festival, but McCain took its inaugural running in 2008 with Whiteoak. "She ran as well as we could have hoped, especially on that ground. She'd want better ground than that. We were delighted with her," said Dan Downie, spokesman for Doyly Carte's owners Elite Racing. "She's got plenty of scope. She'll definitely jump a fence, probably next season. "We probably will go to Cheltenham with her for the David Nicholson. That is likely to be the plan for her. "It's going to be tough, but she has earned her place in the line-up. I think she will appreciate the ground (that) we'll get at Cheltenham in March, fingers crossed."

Market leader Irving is on course to take his chance in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury on Saturday week. Irving: On track for the Betfair Hurdle The Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old heads the ante-post betting with the majority of bookmakers for what will be his first try in a handicap. Irving has shown great promise since his arrival from Germany, winning all his three starts over jumps, culminating in a Grade Two triumph in novice company at Ascot last month. "He's very well. I saw him on Wednesday and he's in great form," said Dan Downie, racing manager for the gelding's owners, Axom. "He's raring to go and hopefully, if the weather doesn't scupper it, he's on target for a week on Saturday."

Southwell, 30 January 2014
2.00, second race
The Starter reported that LAYLA’S HERO (IRE), trained by David Nicholls, was the subject of a third criteria failure. The trainer’s attention was drawn to the restriction incurred under Rule (B)44 and he was informed that the gelding could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
4.30, seventh race
The Stewards held an enquiry into the use of the whip by Tim Clark, the rider of GO FAR, placed second, from three furlongs out. Having heard his evidence and viewed recordings of the race, they found him in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had used his whip above the permitted level. The Stewards suspended Clark for 4 days as follows: Thursday 13, Friday 14, Saturday 15 and Monday 17 February 2014.
30/01/2014
Wincanton, 30 January 2014
2.10, second race
The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner, ALDER MAIRI (IRE), ridden by Andrew Thornton, and trained by Seamus Mullins, compared with its previous run at Kempton Park on 27 December 2013, where the mare was pulled up. They noted the trainer’s representative’s explanation that ALDER MAIRI appeared suited by the drop back in trip. They ordered the mare to be routine tested.

Kempton Park, 30 January 2014
5.20, second race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider why BLUE DEER (IRE), trained by Lee Carter, entered the Parade Ring after the signal to mount had been given. Having heard the trainer’s evidence, they accepted his explanation that he had experienced difficulty in fitting the gelding with cheek pieces and first-time tongue strap.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference in the first furlong. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race, they found that BLADEWOOD GIRL, placed fourth, ridden by Frederik Tylicki, had interfered with TELAMON (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Jordan Vaughan, which in turn interfered with DREAMING AGAIN, unplaced, ridden by Cameron Hardie. The Stewards found the interference was accidental.
5.50, third race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, LIKE A PRAYER, ridden by Jim Crowley and trained by Ralph Beckett, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer, who stated that the colt had benefited from racing over a longer distance and from being fitted with a ring bit, which helped it to settle better than in previous races. Having heard his evidence, they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of LIKE A PRAYER could be reviewed.
7.20, sixth race
The Starter reported that GABRIAL’S GIFT (IRE), trained by Scott Dixon, was the subject of a third criteria failure. The trainer’s attention was drawn to the restriction incurred under Rule (B)44 and he was informed that the gelding could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.

Southwell, 30 January 2014
1.30, first race
The Stewards considered the running of YSPER (FR), ridden by Daniel Tudhope and trained by David O’Meara, which finished unplaced. The Stewards noted the explanation of the trainer’s representative that the race came too soon for the filly, having run seven days previously.
4.00, sixth race
The Veterinary Officer reported that the gelding PETER’S FRIEND, trained by Michael Herrington, finished lame.

Kempton Park, 30 January 2014
5.20, second race
Sean Levey, the rider of FLEETWOODSANDS (IRE), unplaced, reported that the gelding ran too freely in the early stages and was denied a clear run in the last stride.

================================================ Disciplinary Panel Enquiries
SEAN LEVEY - Whip Referral
WOLVERHAMPTON SEVENTH JANUARY (AWT)(TWILIGHT) MEETING 2014
The Compare Bookmakers At bookmakers.co.uk Claiming Stakes
The Disciplinary Panel of the British Horseracing Authority on 30 January 2014 held an enquiry to establish whether or not Sean Levey had committed a breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 of the Rules of Racing concerning his use of the whip when riding THE ART OF RACING (IRE), placed fourth, in the Compare Bookmakers At bookmakers.co.uk Claiming Stakes at Wolverhampton on 24 January 2014. The matter was referred to the Authority by the Wolverhampton Stewards following an enquiry on the same day because this was Levey’s fifth offence of mis-use of the whip, warranting a suspension of between 2 to 6 days, in the last 6 months.
The Panel heard submissions from Levey’s legal representative, and viewed video recordings of the race.
The Panel accepted Levey’s admission that he was guilty of misuse of the whip in that he had used his whip without giving the gelding time to respond. It considered that the breach would have warranted a suspension of 3 days.
Taking into account that Levey: i) had committed five whip breaches (3 x 2 days and 2 x 3 days), since 15 November 2013; and ii) had had 89 rides over this period it suspended him from riding for 21 days, of which 7 days will be deferred for 2 months until 24 April 2014. The suspension will run from Sunday 9 February until Monday 24 February 2014 inclusive on days on which flat racing is scheduled to take place. ====================================================

============================================ 14:40 Thursday 30th January Racing Tips - 30/01/2014
Plenty of returning course and distance runners in the Meydan opener from the race won by Ahtoug 3 weeks ago. He has a massive chance from a 6lb higher mark but this looks tougher and he's too short for me. Most likely winner is unsurprisingly the favourite who looked as though a drop back to 5 furlongs woud suit after being nabbed on the tapeta over 6 last time. This race comes only a week later but he should improve for the run having been returning from a 6 month absence. There's nothing to suggest he is overpriced though and I'd rather be on Medicean Man who won this last year off 1lb lower in a really god time. He goes so well fresh and with Harry Bentley on top and, while fully exposed, I can see him in the frame at 10/1. The other 2 I like were a little disappointing last time. Racy ran on encouragingly and is eased 1lb but that does come after a slightly disappointing effort last time in the Merhee race. My Propeller is a filly with really solid form and she could be coming into this as a Group 3 winner had she not been snatched up in the Flying Five Stakes in Ireland. She got no run last time, drawn widest of all and searching for cover and I can't believe she is 18/1 for this given she was 7's last time and had excuses. She looked in need of the run and Frankie Dettori, who has an excellent record on top, is back doing the steering. She likes to chase a strong pace and the favourite's presence on her inside will be a big plus Meydan 14.40 - Medicean Man 1pt e/w Meydan 14.40 - My Propeller 1pt e/w
The fillies Group 2 is a super contest and it's very exciting to see Certify back on a racecourse for the first time in 16 months. However, I can't quite see how she is ahead of Flotilla in the market and the French filly makes most appeal at 5/2. Appleby's filly may be unbeaten and I'd love to see her win but fillies change a great deal between 2,3 and 4 and taking 7/4 about her looks a risky proposition. Her form ahead of Sky lantern is not to be sniffed at and if she has progressed in a similar fashion then she's the one to beat but who knows? Steeler had a similar profile and he was very keen on his return to the track so it will be interesting to see how Certify settles. Flotilla has had excuses since her French Guineas win and this is the first time she returns to decent ground over a mile. Meydan 15:50 - Flotilla 2pt win
Another French filly I'm looking forward to seeing over here is Tasady and she could be too good for these now dropping back into Group 2 company for the first time since winning at Deauville back in August. She does look vulnerable at 9/2 for debut out here and Mushreq would make more appeal fo the front 2. Hoewever, the pair I want to back are Steeler and Trade Storm. The former made a frustrating debut out here last time but it can't be denied he has serious class and, if he settles, I think he is the one to beat. He'll handle the extra furlong on breeding and may fair better back on turf. Trade Storm just gets the nod because I think he should be shorter than Steeler given his form out here but they both sit pretty on 7/1. He wants a decent gallop and that is the ponderable as it is far from guaranteed. He'll be held up and often looks unlucky but his effort in Group 1 company over course and distance at the end of March gives him every right to win this. He is better drawn this afternoon to get settled in behind and go the shortest way round, and this place really brings out the best in him. Let's hope he doesn't need the run as he did last year. Meydan 17.00 - Trade Storm 1pt e/w =============================================

ODDSCHECKER.
TIP OF THE DAY With market leader Cue Card almost certain to go for the Gold Cup and Al Ferof likely to line up in the Denman in addition to plenty more in the market that look unlikely runners, now is the time to step in to the Ryanair Chase market and have a bet. The one to back is Baily Green at 25/1. He was an excellent second to Simonsig in last season's Arkle and looks set to peak at the Festival, especially if the ground is decent. He shapes like this sort of trip suits best now and on that Arkle run he should be half his current price.

NOTEBOOK.
We highlight a selection of the runners from the past week’s races who may be ones to watch out for in future races.
At Kempton's recent Thursday evening all- weather meeting, the 1m 4f handicap con- tained a few that looked capable of winning a race in the near future. The runner-up, POITIN , trained by Harry Dunlop, is out of a dam who was a half-sister to that legendary Flat stayer, Persian Punch. The winner of a maiden and claiming race last autumn, Poitin went up the handicap, and is possibly still a little high in the ratings, according to that form, but was only beaten three-quarters of a length on her first run over 12f by a horse who was carrying 6lb less, and was making her all-weather debut. There could be more to come from Poitin over this sort of trip, as this run followed a close fourth over 10f at Lingfield, suggesting she is in good heart at the moment and has claims over the middle-distances. Finishing one place behind Poitin was 25/1 outsider SONG LIGHT , trained by David Elsworth. Steadied at the start, he found him- self at the rear, then lacked a clear path two furlongs from home, but made good progress in the last furlong and a half to secure third, if unable to get on terms with the winners. He finished the best of those coming through from the rear and he would probably have done better but for having a less than straight- forward race. He is now 2lb below his last win- ning handicap rating and although recent performances suggest he may not be the most straightforward horse, providing he set- tles a bit better in the preliminaries, he looks capable of landing a race at this level. Earlier on the same card at Kempton, the 7f maiden didn't look the strongest of renewals, but the Philip Hide-trained SLEIPNIR showed some promise in finishing second on his rac- ing debut. The three-year-old Medicean geld- ing is a half-brother to two winners (of four foals to race in GB to date) and travelled well enough in this race before looking a little out- paced when asked for a response in the last two furlongs. He will have learned from the ex- perience and may do more over further in the future. A half-brother to three winners on the Flat, one of whom went on to score over hurdles, STIFF UPPER LIP , trained by Oliver Sherwood, may uphold the family honour, based on his hur- dling-debut performance at Warwick last week. Formerly with Richard Hannon, Stiff Upper Lip, a four-year-old son of Sakhee's Secret, showed fair form on the Flat, winning 10f handicaps at two and three, but his better form was on good or quicker ground on turf, and the ground at Warwick on this latest start was very different, drying from soft/heavy to become very tacky. As such, Stiff Upper Lip may easily be one to watch out for when the good weather finally makes an appearance, as he finished a re- spectable fourth of eight runners, not beaten very far by the first three, all of whom had pre- vious hurdling experience to draw upon and had either won or been placed on their previ- ous hurdles outings. This was also his first run since November, and while that's hardly a massive absence, he can be expected to come on for this run and the experience.

RACING NEWS.
Marco Botti's globe-trotting star Jakkalberry has been retired. The eight-year-old won eight races and finished third in the Melbourne Cup in 2012. Botti said that Jakkalberry had suffered a setback, which was picked up when he returned to the stables after exercise. Last year's scintillating Triumph Hurdle win- ner, Our Conor, has a 'fighting chance' in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, according to his trainer, Dessie Hughes. The trainer's comments were prompted by the improved performance of the five-year-old son of Jeremy in the Irish Champion Hurdle last Sunday, where he fin- ished just one and a half-lengths behind Irish star Hurricane Fly. Our Conor is cur- rently available at a best price of 7/1 for the Champion Hurdle, behind The New One, Hurricane Fly and My Tent Or Yours. Scottish Grand National winner Beshabar has been retired after picking up an injury. The 12-year-old chaser was last seen when finishing fifth in the Hennessy Gold Cup in 2011, having won the Scottish Grand National earlier that year. Installed as a joint-favourite for the 2012 Grand National, injury problems meant that Beshabar was forced to sit on the side- lines. Trainer Tim Vaughan had hoped that Beshabar would return for the Foxhunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, but re- ported that he would be retired, having had a 'minor setback.' Beshabar won six of his 12 starts and more than £215,000 in prize money. Paul Nicholls attributed Big Buck's defeat in the Cleeve Hurdle last weekend to not being fully fit and the worst of the testing ground being on the run-in, absolving jockey Sam Twiston-Davies of any responsibility. The race was won by 66/1 outsider Knockara Beau, who finished ahead of At Fishers Cross and the third-placed Big Buck's. The defeat was Big Buck's first in 19 starts over hurdles, but Nicholls still believes Big Buck's is the one to beat in March's World Hurdle. Despite not running last weekend, Willie Mullins' Champagne Fever was shortened in the ante-post betting for the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March, after a number of his expected ri- vals ran below expectation. Champagne Fever is now a best-priced 5/1 for the Arkle, with his next run reported to be the Dr P J Moriarty Chase on 9 February. Trifolium, trained by Charles Byrnes, was cut to 7/1 for the Arkle, after winning the Grade 1 novices' chase at Leopardstown last Sunday. In Britain, trainer Alan King confirmed the Arkle as the target for Valdez, who won the Grade 2 novices' chase at Doncaster last weekend, and was brought into 12/1 from 16s by some bookmakers. There was also movement in the Cheltenham Festival ante-post markets for the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle, following Le Rocher's success in the Trial race at Cheltenham last Saturday. The Nick Williams-trained four-year-old scored by 10 lengths, building on his Grade 1 win in the juvenile hurdle at Chepstow's Christmas meeting. His trainer described his form as 'the best juvenile form on the board', and bookmakers agreed, cutting Le Rocher to 8/1, jointly-heading the Triumph Hurdle market with Ivan Grozny, trained by Willie Mullins, who was an impressive maiden hurdle winner at Naas a week earlier.
