Kalahari Queen, Sky Pirate, Toledo Silver, Black Bow, Midnight Monty, Equus Amadeus, Luck of the Legion and a 4-year-old by Schiaparelli all schooled over fences.

Storm Nelson didn’t travel down the hill at Towcester, I have a theory about Towcester in that travelling down the hill is as important as coming up the other side, if horses can’t cope on the decent I think they are beat at the bottom. He will head to Cheltenham sales tomorrow, the other fancied horses in the betting disappointed too, the ground was horrible which I’m sure played its part.  Richard Johnson doesn’t dislike Storm Nelson; he is sure he is more than capable of winning his races in the future.
