Merry Vick fontwell hunter chase 260212 Merry Vic ran a stormer on this rules debut considering it was his return from a 686-day layoff. However, he is 9-13 in points and has some decent form in that sphere, particularly his beating of The Midnight Club back in 2007. He´ll need to time to get over this, but looks a shoo-in for something similar in the coming week
Pensnett Bay Towcester Towcester 260212 brilliant front runner took them along at a fair clip but kept it up well, saw off his rivals one by one and then held off a strong challenge from Rebel Swing close home. He´s a progressive sort at the right end of the handicap.
Castle Wings 2nd to paddy Pub but only in a photo 3miles 260212 closing fast Castle Wings just failed. He was closing the gap all the way from the final hurdle and is obviously still well handicapped. He hardly ever runs a bad race.
Utopian a brilliant and easy bumper winner for Nick Gifford has been won by some smart prospects and UTOPIAN ran out a very easy winner on this British debut for a yard that won this in 2010. The ex-French winner landed a race working out nicely on his debut over 1m4f at Vichy last May and, despite reportedly not being a flashy worker at home, was well backed for this first outing since. His rider gave up the outside to no-one and he proved keen as a result, pulling his way into a handy position. That could easily have blunted his finishing effort, but he cantered away from his rivals up the home straight and won with his head firmly in his chest. The winner of this event last year went on to finish second in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and this 4yo would be well worth his place in such a race, but his trainer later added an easy surface is important to his cause. He could well be put away now as a result, but is a must to follow whatever the outcome.
