With another action-packed day of racing ahead of us, last Tuesday we held an evening meeting with the top leading trainer and jockey landing the feature race with Darling Maltaix. . Just the 4-runners went to post for the 2m5f Get Daily Tips On attheraces.com Handicap Chase which saw connections of Darling Maltaix win a handy prize of £6,107.76. The Paul Nicholls-trained horse went off a 7/4F, ridden by Harry Cobden, looked sharp over the 16 fences he took. The 8-year-old ran home a readily winner in what looked an open contest on paper to win by 2¼ lengths over the Suzy Smith-trained Pilbara who finished in second. Gavin Sheehan kicked off the evening with a success when teaming up with Sue Gardner in the Racing Partnership TRP Novices’ Handicap Hurdle over 2m2½f. A nice confident ride from Gavin Sheehan in the opener, as he held up Alramz, but began to make headway through the field 5 out. He sill looked to still be travelling strongly 3 out and albeit drifting right on the run in, this gelding got off the mark at the 7th time of

asking to win going away by 4 ½ lengths. Gavin Sheehan completed a quick-fire double and could not ask for a better start to the 5 evening, as Delight Of Dubai won well as joint favourite in the Racing Partnership TRP Handicap Chase over 2m5f. Despite jumping right at some of her fences, this mare got up to win at the fifth time of asking over fences, after going close on her last 3 appearances (finishing third, second and third), it was only a matter of time before she got her head in front. The 3/1 shot led after 2 out and was gifted the race at the final fence when Vocaliser made an error at the last and wasn’t able to recover in time on the run-in.
