McFabulous and Gelino Bello give Paul Nicholls the ace hand in his bid for a record sixth victory in the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase at Kempton. The Ditcheat handler is currently tied with Nicky Henderson in a race he won most recently with King George favourite Bravemansgame 12 months ago, and appears intent on adding […]
Nicky Henderson is feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement as the brilliant Constitution Hill prepares to strut his stuff once more in the Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. The five-year-old looked a star in the making last season, with 14 and 12-length Sandown wins followed by a scarcely believable 22-length romp in the Supreme […]
Gary Moore will be an intrigued onlooker when Goshen tackles three miles for the first time in the Ladbrokes Long Walk Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day.

Having become only the second horse to down Palace Pier when winning the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in his final start at three, hopes were high the Shadwell-owned colt could […]
Alice Haynes admits that replicating the results of her first full season as a trainer will be a challenge in 2023. The young Newmarket handler recorded her 50th domestic winner of the campaign when Silks Pass scored at Southwell on Tuesday, making it 52 overall. Having previously worked for the likes of Henrietta Knight, Mick […]
Ed and Simon Crisford expect to learn a lot more about Wigmore Street after his second run next month. The American Pharoah colt made a striking debut at Kempton recently, sprinting five lengths clear in the closing stages against some well-bred rivals. A general 33-1 chance for Derby glory, the Michael Tabor-owned Wigmore Street will […]
