“A lot of things are said in the heat of the moment, and anyone can make a mistake,” he said. “He’s got a job to do; I’ve got a job to do.”He’s never made a bad decision in any of my fights in Britain and I’ve never questioned his integrity When we meet again I’m sure we’ll shake hands He is an ordinary guy who loves the sport of boxing.”. The Flat season on turf starts at Doncaster tomorrow and to help punters through a maze of meetings that stretch through until the season concludes at the Yorkshire venue in November, leading trainers have picked their best prospects for the months ahead. The same exercise this time last year yielded these comments from Luca Cumani: “High-Rise is a nice three-year-old by High Estate who won a seven-furlong maiden at Doncaster. He is going to stay a mile and a half.” Evidently – High-Rise scored at Pontefract (2-1) and Lingfield (15-8) before winning the Derby at odds of 20-1.

Al Azhar didn’t race last year – he had a broken bone in his leg – but he’s a real nice horse, going like a bomb. He’ll be in handicaps initially, but is probably a Group-class horse at a mile and a half Night Shot makes his return on Thursday. He won’t quite be ready, but is a real decent handicapper who could go on to Group-class. For a miler, there’s Pantar, third in the Cambridgeshire.MICHAEL BELLRegal Exit only ran twice last year for Mick Channon and was third in a maiden at York. I know Mick always liked him and he seems, in what we’ve seen so far, to be potentially high class – at 1m to 1m2f I’d say. Hoh No was a progressive horse last year and he seems to have strengthened up over the winter. I think he’s on a pretty nice handicap mark.JACK BERRYI’ll try and pick you out a couple of sharp two-year-olds.

Swing Of The Tide is by Sri Pekan, and Susie’s Flyer is a half-sister to Selhurstpark Flyer by a first-season sire, Frimaire – I’d never heard of it before. If you want two older horses, I’d go for Angie Baby and Iris May.CLIVE BRITTAINInvader, by Danehill, ran a couple of times last year and showed a bit of promise, but he’s done tremendously well through the winter and I don’t think we’ve seen anything near the best of him He’s certainly a Group horse in the making. Thunder Sky ran some very good races and he could be another Group horse. I think Invader could get 1m2f/1m4f, and Thunder Sky, I’d be almost certain he’d get 1m4f.HENRY CECILRoyal Anthem did well last year, winning four times, including the Canadian International and the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot, and was also third in the King George.
