Monday 7th June 2021 - winner number 8 for the season.

Guinness Affair won the bumper at Huntingdon last week in taking fashion under Gavin.  He was 2nd at Fakenham on his racecourse debut, but made a noise that day, so he certainly appreciated the better ground this time, and won with plenty of authority.  He will go novice hurdling now, and should be up to winning a few for us this summer.

Guinness Affair wins a bumper and is our 8th winner in the first month of the new season. 

Bucko’s Boy won a maiden hurdle around Fakenham in May and probably bettered that form when 2^nd on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter.  He was only beaten for speed inside the final 100 yards, so we’ll look to go up in trip next time.  However, he will have a short holiday now and will run again in the autumn. 

Redbridge Gold showed the benefit of her seasonal reappearance with a creditable 2^nd at Uttoxeter last week as well.  She jumped well and stayed on well inside the final 2 furlongs, but was beaten by a very well handicapped mare.  I was pleased with our girl though, and I am sure we’ll find her an opening before long. 

Of our other runners last week, Howdilyoudo followed up her recent win with a fine 3^rd in a better race, and Alrightjack also came 3^rd when not beaten far at Uttoxeter.
