Sans Bruit

3rd-Apr-2025

I like My Mate Mozzie as a horse, and I think that there is more to come from Petit Tonnerre, but they are both hold-up horses.  Aintree’s chase track is a track on which prominent racers are advantaged, it really is difficult to make ground from the rear (unlike on the hurdles track), and that factor seems to be accentuated in the Red Rum Chase.

I am backing Sans Bruit and Calico.  Both are prominent racers.  Sans Bruit made just about all the running and won this race impressively last year.  He raced off a mark of 130, he was raised to a mark of 140 after that and, actually, he reached 143 after he finished third behind Martator at Ascot in November.

He is back down to a mark of 130 now, and that make him very attractive again.  He will have goodish ground for the first time since Ascot in November - he and Javert Allen took each other on from a long way out at Chepstow last time on soft ground - and Harry Cobden is back on board.  He is still only seven, and it is probable that Paul Nicholls has had this race in mind for him again for a while.

SANS BRUIT WON (ADV 13/2, SP 5/1)

[CALICO 2ND (ADV 12/1, SP 10/1)]
