Not the best of weeks last week I am sorry to report but that is the way with these things and with Christmas over now we can hopefully get back on track, so to speak. If in doubt, don’t forget to check out all our other tips for the most up to date information.
Nicky Richards – 46% winners 85% placed runners
Nice to see a Northern based trainer topping the list this week and with such good percentages as well. Simply Ned will go well at Leopardstown on Thursday but Duke Of Navan
Henry De Bromhead – 35% winners 53% placed runners
Striking while in good form seems the stable motto with a large number of potential runners declared over the next few days by the De Bromhead team. Paloma Blue
John Gosden – 29% winners 50% placed runners
Not too many runners to choose from for the Newmarket maestro this week but the un-raced Frankel filly Anapurna
Harry Fry – 29% winners 41% placed runners
Harry continues to make a big name for himself as a trainer and is getting better and better horses sent to him each season. This week we will rely on Sir Ivan
Barry Geraghty – 38% winners 57% placed rides
The only rides booked at present are at Leopardstown tomorrow (Thursday) and the best of them may well be Sancta Simona
Harry Cobden – 28% winners 45% placed rides
Jockey of the moment and King George winner Harry Cobden will have a good season with the strength in depth available at the Paul Nicholls yard. Amour De Nuit
Tom Scudamore – 26% winners 33% placed rides
Sticking with Leicester on Friday afternoon and Tom Scudamore rides Steel Wave
Sam Twiston-Davies – 22% winners 38% placed rides
One more jockey to go and our old friend Sam Twiston-Davies has rightly proved he can bang in plenty of winners as a freelance. On Friday he is down to ride Milanstorm
