RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS
Henschke
Warren GreatrexRan very well on chasing debut and has been very well since. Track and trip will suit and if the ground isn’t too much hard work everything should be in his favour to go close.
Passing Well
Jamie SnowdenHe was 2nd last time out at the Punchestown Festival in a seriously competitive 21 runner bumper, where he was squeezed on the home turn and lost his position, but then rallied to stay on to be 2nd and closing on the winner at the line. He jumps really well, and has the size and scope to make up into a really smart prospect. Having won on his stable debut on his seasonal return, we stepped him up into Grade 1 company, and he ran well to be 4th in the Challow. Back in class here, I hope he can defy a penalty too.
French Paradoxe
Oliver SignyFrench Paradoxe fell at the last at Ffos Las when in control of the race and went up 7lb for that mistake. He has schooled very well at home since and, if he has a clean round of jumping, should be thereabouts at the end of the race.
Colonel Harry
Jamie SnowdenHe was 2nd on his racecourse debut over 2m4 on good ground, but appreciated dropping in trip on softer ground when bolting up at Sandown in November. Back there earlier this month, he ran a belter to be 4th in the Grade 1 Tolworth. Back now in calmer waters, I'd hope he can defy a penalty before stepping back up in grade.
