Only got to watch the two on the box but thought that Australia Day was impressive could be another Desert Orchid in the making .Perhaps not lol but looks classy .
Was also nice to see Silverburn back in good heart could still be more to come even though he looked like it was all over for him not too long ago.
Finally Ballyvesey ,had marked this one as one to watch when running at the Welsh National meeting, struck me as a real stayer in the making and who knows in the future could perhaps provide Roddy and co with an overdue National winner in the future.
Very classy ride from Gina Andrews in the last.
Mumbles Pier, a triumph for forgiveness handicappers.
Peter Bowen, one of the better ones.Indeed Cav – very good jockey. Well worth backing especially in lady riders races (her sisters quite good too).

Can’t see Australia Day winning anything in the winter due to the ground, he’ll probably go back on the flat for something decent again before ground gets worse.
Decent horse.
She’s a good jockey that Gina Andrews. Lovely ride there on Ovthenight. Sits still, lets the horse get on with it and never went too fast up front, judging the pace well.
Delighted to see Gina get back on the scoresheet, after enduring the first appreciable setbacks of what’s been a really promising career so far – in particular, an awful fall at Huntingdon (I think off of Viable) earlier in the year, and her first ever ride at Cheltenham turning into the stuff of nightmares on account of the death of Mad Jack Duncan.
Very much looking forward to her making hay again in point-to-points this winter, not least in the East Anglia and South East Areas.
