Guilty of repeating myself with forthcoming events next week, but today’s fayre is run of the mill stuff. Two horses dropping in class hold good chances at Catterick. Along the Nile never went a yard last time in a good Musselburgh handicap hurdle. On previous ability he should be up to winning this. Bogside Theatre is also down a grade in the mares hurdle looks to have previous winner Last of the Bunch, from the family of that wonderful grey, Better Times Ahead.
At Fontwell a Charlie Mann double looks on the cards. For Non Stop in the novice hurdle has a great chance, he was well behind when clear leader; the ill-fated Rock Celtic, departed two out. As those in front began to loiter he positively flew and was an eye-catcher in fourth place. In the handicap chase, Stablemate Fine Parchment, put in an exhibition round of jumping at Ffos Las, perhaps the figure of eight track will allow him more of a breather to conserve his energy this time.
