If you’re going to try and get something under the radar, then this is the week to do so, and FOND FAREWELL has the look of one that could be snuck in the back door when no-one’s looking.
We haven’t seen him since November of 2024, but given his one win to date when with John Joseph Murphy came after a 203-day break, that suggests the long absence might not be the problem it might be. He’s no star, but three considerate runs over hurdles, the last of the three hinting at ability, but an opening mark of 83 does not look overtaxing in any case.
The Greenall/Guerriero axis are going well, with six winners in the past fortnight, and the addition of both a hood and a tongue-tie today suggest connections mean business.
16:55 Huntingdon
I’m willing to give DUBLIN TO MILAN one more try after a very disappointing first effort over fences here last month. He never travelled well, and was soon beaten, pulled up with a circuit to go. On go some cheekpieces, and whilst trainer Clive Boultbee-Brooks hasn’t had a winner from the four that have tried it first time, three hit the frame and it can be viewed positively enough.
Perhaps more pertinent, though, is the better ground, which his better efforts to date have come on; heavy last time out was as much to contribute to the effort as anything, and this better surface should suit. It’s a winnable contest, and he’s worth another chance.
