RONDE DE NUIT looks a likely type for handicaps and gets the nod, with confidence increased should the betting speak in his favour. Fellow J P McManus runner Pasley will

PLAY SMARTER be a threat if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Warwick third. Bempton Cliffs could be sharper with a recent comeback run behind him and is also on the shortlist. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.RONDE DE NUIT (FR) 2.PASLEY (IRE) 3.BEMPTON CLIFFS (IRE)

RACE RESULT

RACE TIME DISTANCE 3RD

Apart from supporting the local courses the Club has organised trips to various venues including Stratford, Wincanton and Warwick. Last year we went to Ireland visiting the stables of Jessica Harrington and Henry de Bromhead as well as racing at Clonmel and Gowran Park. Stable visits are always popular and during the last 12 months we have been welcomed at the yards of Anthony Honeyball, Fergal O’Brien, and Nigel Twiston-Davies. Our three day autumn trip to Newmarket took in a stud visit, the Warren Hill gallops, the Museum and Huntingdon races. We called in at Oaksey House, Lambourn on the way up to Newmarket to see the facilities provided for the injured jockeys.
