Bold Record’s jumping left much to be desired at Worcester, where he failed to cope with a couple of more-experienced rivals. There is plenty of scope for improvement but a step up in distance for APRES LE DELUGE (NAP) is long overdue. He ran well in a couple of hot-looking novice events in December before finishing second after a break at Southwell and is now fitted with a tongue-tie. Gateway To Europe has placed at Warwick and Fakenham but has failed to win in 10 career starts but The Swagman has won a bumper and Kabrit won on Fibresand in November when trained by Andrew Balding.
