Winterbourne Longjohns, the Blog’s resident racing correspondent reports . . .
Nothing for Wincanton on Thursday, but after cheering home Dashing Oscar who won at 9/2 at Newton Abbot on Friday, Winterborne Longjohns is hopeful that the Harry Fry Racing Club will reward its followers with their first winner when the talented mud lover Highland Retreat tackles fences for the first time at Cheltenham this coming Friday afternoon. Having already won in excess of £50k in prize money over hurdles, good things are expected of this fast and fluent seven year old in the months ahead. Twice winning Henryville might also be considered should he run in a nominated race on this same card.
