Jumps Jumps Jumps

Well the big guns are out already in the novice brigade up north with some big money buys showing clean pair of hooves to a few slow boats from the flat.

DOESLESSTHANME - bolted up at Kelso and Howard Johnson also unleashed DOOR BOY on the same card - the first named was fitter so the performance of DOOR BOY would take higher merit. KALAHARI KING won but was only 80% fit, didnt strike me as a chaser on shape and size and might struggle at the larger tracks when jumping is the key. DIAMOND HARRY looked classy when winning his first start over hurdles despite being badly hampered all the way from three out and STRIKING ARTICLE is the best chaser I have seen in the novice ranks.

The 4 day Northern Trip is nearly with us with NEWCASTLE , WETHERBY and CARLISLE seeing a visit from the ADMAN.
