ED CULHAM TIPS

Horse to follow – November

Il Ridoto

Trainer: Paul Nicholls

Last run: 27/11/21, Newbury, Watch Racing Free Online At Ladbrokes Handicap Chase (Class 2), 2m½f, 1st/12

Future entries: 04/12/21 Sandown, Henry VIII Novices’ Chase (Grade 1), 1m 7½f

A recruit into the Paul Nicholls yard from France this season, Il Ridoto looked to be on the way to a debut victory in Britain when travelling sweetly at Newton Abbot in October. He tired quickly between the last two fences that day, but proved his weak finishing effort was only due to lack of race fitness at Newbury last weekend. He travelled extremely strongly through that contest, with Harry Cobden able to take a pull running to the second last. He blundered his way through that fence and was a bit low at others in the race, but quickened smartly after the last to beat a good field of handicappers with plenty to spare.

Il Ridoto is only a four-year-old, but has good experience of fences already and there could be a huge amount of progress to come. Paul Nicholls exploited his weight allowance last weekend and interestingly will attempt to do the same by backing him up quickly this weekend in the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase. Nicholls must be sure he has a top-prospect on his hands now pitching him into Grade 1 company and it will be fascinating to see how he gets on at Sandown. Even if he fails to make the grade, there should be plenty more races to be won with him this season.

The Edgar Wallace

Kim Bailey

I tipped this horse up on his seasonal reappearance a couple of weeks ago in what was his only run in November. He had already shown promise over hurdles last season but he made his chase debut in November. That run came at Market Rasen over the extended 2m5f in a 5 runner race. He won, beating Orrisdale by a length but it was a very comfortable length victory. I really liked the look of him that day, jumping soundly, seeing out the trip well and seemed to find more whenever a horse moved upsides to challenge. He was given a very positive ride by David Bass, sent straight out to make the running and was thrown into virtually every fence and barely put a foot wrong. Given that that was his first run over the larger obstacles and his first run for 243 days, he will certainly have more to offer with that run now under his belt.

He looks like a real chaser and his pedigree suggests that he will make a very good chaser too, being a half brother to Black Hercules who was a grade 1 winner over fences and was rated as high as 158. He ought to stay at least 3m, his 3 career wins to date have come on soft, good to soft and good ground, so he’s clearly versatile as to the ground and his wins have come on both right and left handed tracks, tight tracks and galloping tracks, which suggests he’s a pretty uncomplicated. He seems an easy type who could well be more than capable of winning another couple of races when next sent out as he looks like he could be ahead of his mark.

Espoir De Teillee

Trainer – Tom George

Subscribers followed me on this one when he ran at Newbury last week and we were rewarded with an excellent effort by this nine year old gelding owned by Roger Brookhouse.

Seemingly ignored by the market, he had form with Kallooki, one of the favourites for the Peter O Sullivan Memorial Chase. He had beaten him when they previously met, yet on the same terms, he went off several times the price. He jumped well all the way round but the new test of 2.6miles seemed to just find him out at the business end. He was beaten by a very well handicapped horse running in the colours of the late Sir Peter, so it was clearly primed for the race. However, Espoir De Teillee, looks set for a good season and with only 19 runs under his belt at the age of nine, is no forlorn hope to still have a measure of improvement left in him. Could turn up at a nice price in the near future.

Riviere D’etel

Trainer – Gordon Elliott

Has now impressed twice since switching to fences and whilst she gets all the allowances she could rack up a sequence, she won’t be much off a price on her next few runs as her trainer is likely to campaign her accordingly in the interim but she could still be one to keep on the right side when stepping up in grade.
