SIX RUNNERS ON THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON HOVE CARD!
Friday 20th February 2015 – HOVE Runners
Fairhill Frankie was crowded at half-way when well beaten on his latest run. He is dropped in grade and capable of much better in the D2 Sprint at 2-08.
Mineola Prof is in good form! He clocked a good time on his latest win and is up in grade for that victory. Likely to go well in the A3 at 3-48.
Ballymac Tonya continues to find trouble in running! She runs in the A10 at 4-27 and has the ability to win at this level if getting a clear run!
Anmima Madam got back to winning form on latest run and goes up a grade for that success. She runs in the A8 at 4-47 and could follow up from a perfect draw!
Droopys Rives is a young pup going the right way! He has improved on each of his 3 runs and opened his account in fine style last Sunday. He runs in the D1 Sprint at 5-07.
Cellini is running well without getting the luck! She has suffered crowding on her last two runs but would have a chance in the A6 at 6-11 if avoiding trouble in running!

LONGRANGE DENIS CONTINUES TO IMPROVE!
After his latest check up Norah is happy to report that the vets are pleased with the progress of LONGRANGE DENIS who continues his recovery from the serious neck injury he sustained at Romford in January. He was kennelled alone for four weeks in order to protect his neck and help him stay quiet! The kennel staff did a great job to get him through that difficult time. Assistant trainer Gemma Byford reported that “Denis is doing very well, bouncing in fact! He is now kennelled back with his girlfriend Avit On Bertha and is allowed out for small walks in a harness keeping the pressure off his neck”. Norah said “He is very happy now he can get out and about and really enjoys his treats!”
