What a difference a day makes! Dodging Bullets a good winner for me. What a brilliant bit of placing by Mr Nicholls with that Aux Ptits Soins on its first run in the UK. Looking at its French form it beat a decent animal, Arbre de Vie, which has since won two for Mr Mullins. Too late now though! With some good ammunition to fire on the next two days Nicholls could still be top trainer.
Just noticed Arbre de Vie is entered up for the County, Martin Pipe and the Albert Bartlett on Friday. Oh and the Silver Bowl at Kempton on Saturday. Races over 2m, 2m 4, 2m 5 and 3m. He’s a guesser ain’t he? (Top one tho!)
