Flat racing moves to the all-weather for the winter after Saturday’s November handicap meeting at Doncaster

“Elmfield Giant took the eye when runner-up in a competitive three-year-old handicap at Kempton”

Timeform have highlighted two horses who look set for success during the imminent all-weather season…

Street Power made an encouraging return to action after a three-month break when fourth in a handicap at Ffos Las recently, and he looks set for another fruitful all-weather campaign. This son of Street Cry possesses a good turn of foot, and he briefly threatened to pass all of his rivals at Ffos Las before a lack of sharpness seemed to tell. The Jeremy Gask-trained gelding hasn’t had much racing since winning at Kempton in April, and may well have been saved purposely for a winter campaign on his favoured surface. He has gained six of his seven career wins on polytrack, and his reappearance effort suggests that he may well be able to add to that tally before long. J. R. Gask.

Elmfield Giant took the eye when runner-up in a competitive three-year-old handicap at Kempton last time. The performance represented a career-best effort from the Richard Fahey-trained gelding, and he impressed with the way he quickened from mid-field to lead inside the final 1f, only going down by half-a-length to an improver in Snow Magic in the end. The pair pulled nicely clear of the remainder, and the presence of a solid yardstick three lengths back in third indicates that the form should be viewed positively. Elmfield Giant is unexposed on polytrack, and if his latest run is anything to go by, he is the type to do well during the all-weather season. R. A. Fahey.
