Eldorado Allen Brendan Powell wins the Betfair Denman Steeple Chase at Newbury Racecourse 12 02 22 HEALY RACING© Photo Healy Racing
Thurles and Warwick have survived the Arctic blast on Thursday and we have five horses to follow at the meetings ahead of the action, including some familiar old names and some fresh new faces.
Here are the top 5 Tracked Runners running today from the 190,000 tracked horses on irishracing.com
1.23 Warwick, Goffs Supporting Breeders' Day Mares' Novices' Hurdle 2m. 3f.
That's Nice has to be feared having joined Nicky Henderson since a debut success in an Irish point. Worth keeping an eye on the market.
2.25 Warwick, John Sumner Memorial Veterans' Handicap Chase 3m
Eldorado Allen faced some tall assignments at the end of last season when pulling up in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival and then weakening late on in the Grand National, having given a bold sight for a long way. Joe Tizzard's charge should prove far more competitive now pitched into veteran company and an overdue victory could be on the horizon.
Evan Willams and Adam Wedge took this contest back in 2019 and this handy chaser, who was formerly with Gordon Elliott, was a regular in the big staying handicaps in Ireland. Will need to improve on his two starts for the new yard in which he was pulled up and finished 6th of 7.
3.44 Thurles, Sign Up To GavinLynchRacing.com (Q.R.) Maiden Hurdle 1m. 7f. 189yds
Jacob's Ladder switches to hurdling after winning his bumper in Down Royal at the start of the month by an easy four lengths. He is sure to be well schooled for this assignment and looks a useful prospect for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown.
2.40 Thurles, ThurlesRaces.ie Handicap Hurdle 2m. 4f. 48yds.
A previous course and distance winner for John Ryan and has some decent form in the book. Steps back up in trip and wears blinkers for the first time. Exposed and needs to improve to make his mark.
