Matalan Novices' Chase 2m4f mildmay

CHAMPION COURT made his second start over fences a winning one after seeing off Saint Are and Astracad at Aintree on Sunday.

Capannelle (Rome): Longines Lydia Tesio (Group 1) 1m2f,3yo+ fillies' & mares'

AFTER a run of seeing their top prizes poached by foreign raiders, the Italians could celebrate a big home win thanks to the tough and talented Quiza Quiza Quiza.

Quote:
Winning trainer Luigi Riccardi said: "The Tesio has always been a difficult race but our filly is just at the best of her form. This was her third run after a summer break, which is when she is at her best. The rain and soft ground was also a good thing for her."

Ruby Walsh unwilling to commit to Poquelin ride




Quote:
RUBY WALSH on Sunday said that the five-day whip ban he was handed at Aintree the previous day has left him questioning the merits of riding Poquelin in Saturday’s Grade 2 Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.

Quote:
"I'm facing a ten-day suspension next time I offend. I didn’t offend on purpose yesterday and I won't offend on purpose ever again, so every ride I take from now on in the UK has to be extremely calculated. It has to be worth the risk."
