The kennel has a strong hand in the Coral Christmas Maiden Sprint Final Open Race with Ballymac Chindit, Fairhill Frankie and Sizzlers Eagle all qualifying from the Heats! Good luck to all connections involved!

Jonathan Kay in todays Racing Post sees it like this:

Sizzlers Eagle should appreciate the slightly wider draw in five than four he went from in the heats and can prove the pick of Norah McEllistrim’s three Coral Christmas Maiden Sprint finalists over 285 metres at 7.46.

He looked by far the quickest to the bend in his heat only to get the turn all wrong but can hold his line better this time and prove too speedy all round.

Note: Millroad Jessy replaces Glenvale Stevie in the D1 Sprint at 7-31.

Baby Sky is in great form at present and is up in grade for her last Hove win! Excellent run when 2nd in a Wimbledon Open on her latest run and there is every reason she should go well in the A4 at 10-26.

WE HAVE SIX RUNNERS ON THE FRIDAY MORNING HOVE CARD!

Friday 19th December HOVE Runners

Razldazl Clyde would have a good chance if getting a clear run in the D1 Sprint at 10-38.

Intayacynthia returns to the track after a two month lay-off and she runs in the A7 at 11-23.

We have two runners lining up for the A8 at 11-51. They both need a change  of luck! Boskill Breeze has been a beaten favourite on her last four runs while Shyan Zippy last won in September!

Release The Ace is running well winning three of his last seven runs. Consistent dog and every chance he will be involved in the finish of the A6 at 12-08.

Athlacca Olympic has been in great form since returning from injury. He should run well in the A3 at 1-11.

Runners

RAZLDAZL  CLYDE,     INTAYACYNTHIA,     BOSKILL  BREEZE,     SHYAN  ZIPPY,     RELEASE  THE  ACE,     ATHLACCA  OLYMPIC

OUR EIGHT RUNNERS ON THE FRIDAY EVENING HOVE CARD!

Friday 19th December HOVE Runners

Ballymac Benefit is running well and was only narrowly beaten last time! Should be more of the same in the A7 at 8-18.

Swift Debbie is another runner in good form. She was a close up 2nd last time and should also run well in the A6 at 8-34.

Veteran Swift Messi holds his form amazingly well and he escapes a penalty, for the D2 Sprint at 8-51, after his win last Saturday. Abbeys Zenyatta beat Swift Messi 1/2 a length when the pair met earlier this month and there shouldn’t be much between them again this time!

Mineola Prof was well beaten at Open level on his last run but will be more at home in the A4 at 9-07.

Plenty of early pace in the A5 at 9-41 so Cellini will have to watch her step to avoid any trouble!

Cause Of Justice is running very well but faces some decent in-form opponents in the A2 at 9-57.

Well beaten in a couple of recent Open races Droopys Halo will have more of a chance in the S2 at 10-13.

BALLYMAC  BENEFIT,     SWIFT  DEBBIE,     SWIFT  MESSI,     MINEOLA  PROF,     ABBEYS  ZENYATTA,     CELLINI,     CAUSE  OF  JUSTICE,     DROOPYS  HALO
