BARNEY DWAN (1.30) relished the switch to fences at Market Rasen and is taken to blow away his rivals in the Scottish Future Champions Novices' Chase at Musselburgh.
Sponsors bet365 have been rewarded with some top action at the Scottish track and Barney Dwan made a very favourable impression when jumping quick and neat to thump Clondaw Cian and Solighoster.
Fergal O'Brien's gelding had the speed over hurdles to chase home very smart Irish horse Presenting Percy in the Pertemps Network Final at Cheltenham last March, with Jury Duty well held in third.
SIR CHAUVELIN (2.05) did us a turn on his last trip along the M8 to Musselburgh and Jim Goldie's dual-purpose horse can defy an 8lb rise in the Scottish County Hurdle.
The six-year-old produced a decisive turn of foot to scythe down Silver Concorde and as long as the track isn't riding too testing Sir Chauvelin should have the measure of Amour De Nuit.
Paul Nicholls's top weight travelled well in the lead at Doncaster before finding Irish Roe and Moyaayed too strong. Bryony Frost is making a habit of picking off big prizes on a Saturday and is excellent value for her 5lb claim.
I fancy a couple at Lingfield where AUTHOR'S DREAM (1.25) has looked a different animal since forcing tactics were employed by William Knight.
His five-year-old never looked likely to be reeled in by Joseph O'Brien's Grey Waters over course and distance, and had earlier hacked up by 11 lengths at Wolverhampton.
AMERICAN GIGOLO (4.15) was an expensive failure, albeit by only a head, when failing to catch Fearsome here last month.
Harry Fry's six-year-old is a winner over hurdles and I expect Fran Berry to make more use of American Gigolo this time.

In December 2020 we sadly 
John, did you read the article on the owner of broodmare Good Thyne Jenny, dam of Our Duke.
The owner said he brought Good Thyne Jennys first three foals to Francis Flood who told him the dam will never have a winner based on the first three foals who never won a race.
How wrong Flood was!
I didn’t see it

The vibes are so strong that he has to be backed at that price
Agreed John that’s a great price for Faigheen…was there an explanation for it’s last run though? Can’t see any.
GL all
Seen a few replays now and he didn’t look right before the race and was probably something as simple as having an off day “we all have them so Horses can as well”, if it was just an off day then the 3/1 with a run looks massive for the Champion Hurdle because if he doesn’t click today then he won’t go

Well done Alan yet again ! I have to admit I left out authors dream as I thought the weight 9-12 was to much + 8 lbs more to carry but did it well
Awful run from 2.05 sir CHAUVELIN the trainer says before the race the soft ground was not what he wanted and then runs accordingly
Superb with supersundae ew thief 20/1 thanks ever so much
Thank you very much alan superb
Big Well done ? today Alan?
