Andrew nelis Racing




.Olly Murphy is looking to give his two big novice chase hopes, Brewin’upastorm and Itchy Feet, a racecourse gallop ahead of their assignments at the Cheltenham Festival.
Itchy Feet, who gave Murphy the first Grade One success of his career in the Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at Sandown three weeks ago, is being primed for the Marsh Novices’ Chase on March 12.
Itchy Feet has won both his starts over fences, as has Brewin’upastorm, who is being prepared for the Racing Post Arkle Trophy on the opening day, March 10.
He was last seen in public at Taunton in November, when he comfortably landed the odds from Southfield Stone.
“They are both in good form. I couldn’t be happier with the pair of them,” said the Stratford trainer.
“They are both going to have a racecourse gallop in the next 10 days.
“They are on course for Tuesday and Thursday – Brewin’upastorm for the Arkle and Itchy Feet for the Marsh.”

Current option wins for Aldo Mcguiness Andrew Nelis Racing

Current Option capped an excellent Galway Festival for trainer Ado McGuinness and apprentice Gavin Ryan with victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF "Ahonoora" Handicap. McGuinness saddled Saltonstall to land Tuesday's BMW Mile, before Sirjack Thomas doubled his tally on Saturday. Ryan was aboard both horses and had also ridden winners for Dermot Weld and Donnacha O'Brien during the course of the week. Having disappointed behind his stablemate Saltonstall earlier in the week, Current Option was a 15-2 shot for the final day feature.                         Andrew Nelis Racing

Epsom Derby Runners and riders 2020 Andrew Nelis

1 AMHRAN NA BHFIANN Sire : Galileo.  Trainer : Aidan O’Brien.  Official rating : --.  Odds : 50-1 Who will add their name to the Derby roll of honour? Positives : His sister, Was, won the Oaks on her third start in 2012, while his brother, Douglas Macarthur, finished seventh in the 2017 Derby after being deployed as a pacemaker. He himself offered something to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden last time, when finishing behind three stablemates who subsequently all made their presence felt in the Irish Derby. His best days are ahead of him. Negatives : Has mountain to climb on form and even his master trainer has not pulled off the trick of winning the Derby with a twice-raced maiden. Indeed, the last maiden to win the race was in 1887. Verdict : Folly to underestimate anything his trainer runs but easy enough to looks elsewhere. 2 EMISSARY Sire : Kingman.  Trainer : Hugo Palmer.  Official rating : 98.  Odds : 33-1 Hugo Palmer revealed mor
