Prince Bishop rules the World.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat

Prince Bishop defeated the best of America in California Chrome and Lea to spring a surprise in the Dubai World Cup at Meydan.

William Buick brought Saeed bin Suroor's evergreen eight-year-old to lead a furlong and a half out and win the world's richest Flat race.

Last year's Kentucky Derby hero California Chrome was a one-paced second, with Lea finishing third.

Gabrial just divine in Lincoln.

Gabrial showed a touch of class and the heart for a battle to win the Betway Lincoln at Doncaster.

Richard Fahey's streetwise, but often unpredictable six-year-old was delivered with a precise challenge by Tony Hamilton to take the first major prize of the Flat turf season at odds of 12-1.

Sole switches on late power.

Sole Power landed a famous victory when he took the Al Quoz Sprint at the fifth attempt with his customary late surge in the five-furlong Group One contest at Meydan.

Richard Hughes typically delayed his challenge on the Eddie Lynam-trained eight-year-old to collar Peniaphobia inside the dying strides.

Gatsby seeking Tattersalls gold.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed

The Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh is set to be the next port of call for The Grey Gatsby following a fine effort in defeat in Dubai over the weekend.

The four-year-old enjoyed a tremendous campaign in 2014, winning the Dante at York and the French Derby before defeating Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes.

Pretend shows he's the real deal.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...l+deal&day=Sat

Pretend continued his rapid rise through the sprinting ranks with a taking success in the Unibet All-Weather Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield.

Ridden more prominently than usual, the Charlie Appleby-trained 6-5 favourite was kept just behind the early pace in the six-furlong contest, which was set by Chookie Royale.

Very begins to look special.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Sun

Very Special justified strong market support in the Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Fillies' Conditions Stakes at Kempton Park.

The twice-raced Saeed bin Suroor-trained filly took a keen hold through the early stages of the mile event as Juventas took the four runners along, closely attended by Teosroyal.

The latter kicked under Ryan Moore in the straight, but the 4-9 winner only had to be shaken up by James Doyle before joining issue and running on strongly to score by a comfortable two lengths

Roses in bloom for elated Walsh.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue

Katie Walsh became only the third female jockey in history to claim the BoyleSports Irish Grand National as she guided Thunder And Roses to an emotional victory at Fairyhouse.

It is 31 years since Ann Ferris struck gold aboard Bentom Boy, while Nina Carberry also enjoyed National glory aboard Organisedconfusion in 2011.

Kazeem back with a bang.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue

Al Kazeem made a successful seasonal reappearance with a hard-fought win in the Group Two Prix d'Harcourt at Longchamp.

Ryan Moore always had the Roger Charlton-trained seven-year-old close to the pace set by Celtic Rock, with Godolphin's Fractional close up.

Al Kazeem went on a furlong and a half from home but was all out to hold Affaire Solitaire, with Fate finishing strongly to finish a close third.

Door open to huge McCoy gamble.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Bookmakers are estimating a £50million pay-out should Shutthefrontdoor land the Crabbie's Grand National and give Tony McCoy a dream swansong from the saddle at Aintree.

But McCoy reckons his wife would only back Shutthefrontdoor if he did not tell her to.

Holywell primed for Aintree repeat.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Jonjo O'Neill reports Holywell to be flying at home ahead of his outing in the Beftred Bowl at Aintree on Thursday.

Having put in a bold effort when finishing fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month on ground softer than ideal, the nine-year old will bid to bounce back by hitting the mark in three-mile-one-furlong Grade One contest.

A maximum field of 40 runners has been named for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree with no withdrawals among the leading contenders.

Yes he will certainly like the quicker ground more and he has already won the Scottish National and at 20/1 he is definitely good each way value.
