We've pinpointed a horse going places, a trainer to back blind and a feelgood story from Southwell.
Horse on the up ⭐️
Southwell 3.20 – Good Boy Bobby
At odds of 4-9 you would have expected Nigel Twiston-Davies' useful Novice to bolt up – but you couldn't have helped be impressed by the performance of the six-year-old.
Owned by the Rooney's he looked a horse to follow until his defeat at Ffos Las.
That was on seriously testing ground and after a 113 day break he bounced back to form in style with Sam Twiston-Davies not even having to tickle his ride.
The big races will probably come too soon for him over the next couple of weeks. But it would not be a surprise to see him at the likes of Aintree with stablemate One For Rosie who has the same connections and a very similar profile.
Trainer to keep on side ?️♂️
Neil Mulholland has been in stonking form of late and that continued through Monday's action.
The Wiltshire-based handler sent two runners to Fakenham and both delivered the goods under Tom Scudamore.
First, Molliana was a brave winner of a Mares' Handicap Hurdle. Then in the lucky last Niblawi was a cosy winner of a Novices' Hurdle.
Carole's Destrier landed a big pot at Newbury on Saturday and Mulholland will be praying his team can carry their form into Cheltenham next week.
Storyline of the day ?
What would a Monday be without a Giuseppe Fierro winner?
Fierro will head back to Staffordshire a happy man after his first winner in over 2000 days. Yes, 2000.
Sundance Boy upset the applecart with his 25-1 win, holding on from the late finishing and Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Costante Via.
But even big Nige and his duffel coat could not begrudge Fierro and jockey Tommy Phelan the win.
What would racing be without the little men?
