It wasn’t all about the brilliant Denman and Master Minded on Saturday (9 February) as there were plenty of other Festival clues around, and here’s our summary of the best and worst trials run on the rest of Newbury’s card and at Warwick:
Itsa Legend stayed on well in the totescoop6 Handicap Hurdle at Newbury and could be an interesting contender for the Coral Cup.
Missis Potts also stayed on well in the totesport Trophy, after receiving reminders as early as the second flight. Again, one of the staying hurdles at the Festival should suit Phillip Hobb’s seven year old who, with Strong Gale influence in his pedigree, should be suited by even better ground.
The Old Pretender was well beaten in the concluding bumper at Newbury to suggest that he has no chance in the equivalent race at Cheltenham. The winner of the Newbury contest, Mad Max is likely to bypass the Festival.
Moon Over Miami was the biggest disappointment at Warwick. He was pulled up in the Kingmaker Novices Chase to leave his Arkle hopes in tatters. Charlie Mann’s seven year old apparently boiled over when the start was delayed and bled during the race. Kruguyrova (1st) and Ring The Boss (2nd) both enhanced their reputations in the same race. Big Bucks, in third, also ran well on a course that probably wouldn’t suit him as well as Cheltenham.
Bagan took the big handicap chase on Warwick’s card in good style, to set up a possible crack at the Jewson.
