@Conor_LaneSmith @goddard_luke @RacingGav Oh come on Henderson massively improved both OPS and AOI, AOI I can excuse that maybe with a trip Paul would have improved him, but OPS had 3 bumper starts and was well beaten in all 3

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

@ryanOTHx @NoneStopRacing @RacingGav Yeah your 100% right, but the horses that don’t win bumpers improve for distance not just hurdles. When was the last winner of the supreme who never won a bumper after running in bumpers? Artic Kinsman? Unless there was one before, but definitely none since 2004

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

@ryanOTHx @NoneStopRacing @RacingGav Ummm… after winning on debut? Hence winning a bumper? Carrying a winners penalty (Altior). The other finished 4th at aintree on his next start (Buveur D’Air) on only two starts. Old park star was beaten in 3 ordinary bumpers, closest to winner was 4 lengths… bit of a difference

@777horseracing @racingblogger This was his first start over fences, and was over 2 miles. Your correct the Arkle is over 2 miles. So this is one of the better starting points for him in preparation for the Arkle

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

@JSS2701 @JakePriceRacing @RacingTV He does not stay 3 miles, he stays 2 and a half miles, same as hold the serve

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

@WWWoodzy92 Yes grade 2 winner rated higher over hurdles then anything else in the race who jumped the last in stayers hurdle on the bridal will finish out the places come March 😂😂😂

🔥 An impressive performance from KABRAL DU MATHAN on chase debut there - probably the best chase performance since SINNATRA yesterday.

👍 Was 26lbs superior to the runner up on hurdles form, but he's clearly a proper one in the novice chase division.

🔵⚪️ KABRAL DU MATHAN jumps like a star on Novice Chase debut to win by a distance.

That's one of the most impressive Novice Chase debut's I've seen in recent years, I'd say Dan and Harry Skelton will be over the moon! ⭐️👏

[Racing TV @RacingTV]

Kabral Du Mathan 🤌

This high-class performer doesn't see another rival in a fine chase debut at @PerthRacecourse @DSkeltonRacing

[At The Races @AtTheRaces]

"He was in first gear really!" 👀

Harry and Dan Skelton offer their assessments of a sensational performance from Sinnatra 👇

[Racing Post @RacingPost]

SINNATRA bolts up on his chasing debut 🏆

That was very impressive 👏

[Jake Price @JakePriceRacing]

That was simply beautiful to watch!😍

🩵🌑⚪ SINNATRA jumps with perfection and cruises to an effortless success at Ffos Las! Harry Skelton motionless in the saddle.

15/8 winner for @oddschecker ✅

[At The Races @AtTheRaces]

Oh WOW! 😲

Giving weight away to his rivals, Sinnatra cruises to victory on chasing debut at a canter!

@DSkeltonRacing @harryskelton89

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

Holy shit, we’ve just seen a star, Sinnatra bolts up giving 17Ibs to his rivals on debut over fences for Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton for Neil and Alfie Smith

There goes the grand annual rumours, with both him and Kabral Du Mathan maybe the smiths have a big grasp on the Arkle

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

French horses to follow for this season -

Chick Me
Interstellar
Rare et precious
Magic des charms

[Road To Cheltenham @RoadCheltenham]

👀 A chance we could see KABRAL DU MATHAN make his chase debut at Perth next Thursday...

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

Daryz has been retired to stud. Dual arc hero will stand and will probably attract a very nice book of mares over the next couple of years, but I wouldn’t be suprised if he could be a nice national hunt stallion

[Craig Walsh @CraigWalsh2004]

Wow wow wow what have the skeltons just unleashed there. Cooltobecareless looks very very smart. That was an impressive turn of foot
