Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
23 Mar Northern Tour - The one horse in the race outside the first two to show some real promise. Utterly clueless after getting out of the stalls and 15th in the main group at halfway and well back. The only horse to make some real ground against the field when switched to centre track and moving up to 7th .Stuck on well after this move to pick off the odd fader to a distant 5th. Has a non-5f pedigree and the trainer said before the race "..he will get the trip which a few of the faster ones wont..". One of his better siblings - Swing Wing - was a borderline Listed race type over 8f at 2yo but Mr Cole had him out running over 6f in May and he couldn't beat lesser horses at Southwell. So, he presents a dilemma in that he showed enough to believe he can win something but he may be made to look a bit slow in a 'real' 5f race.
13 Apr The short priced favourite in his absence was Northern Tour who presented as a likeable physical type - remarkably physically mature compared to the early season horses seen so far. Strong and squarely built although just averagely athletic in movement. A different stamp to the Brocklesby fourth Lagan Handout by comparison despite the fact he finished behind that one at Doncaster.
  • He wasn't really tested for 5f speed in the race with the two bigger colts failing to various degrees and only challenged to any extent by the lightweight filly Soul Sista. He broke well and got to the rail and set an average pace which he pressed on with soon after halfway. He had to be asked again a furlong out to keep the filly from overlapping with him but won a little comfortably. Has some scope to improve phsycally and should rate OR80+.
