“Surface To Air’s brave run at Aintree proves to
be a springboard for a terrific start to the current season.....”
By early April we were all ready for some
cheering up after a very cold and depressing
winter. We duly received our tonic on April 9th
when the gallant Surface To Air, having his
first “proper” race for almost three years finished a heroic and honourable 8th in the

over hurdles before going chasing.
Has been a revelation this season, winning his last

Good ground is the key to him, as is all the massage

has helped him enormously.

Irish point to point winner who was a very promising 3rd on his debut for us last autumn. Now fully

an exciting long term chasing prospect. Will resume
his career over hurdles once the ground is soft.
It took a few runs to get back to his best after an
injury lay off, but off the mark for this season at
Market Rasen in April and followed up with a gutsy
2nd at Huntingdon. Goes best on good ground and
has been a great servant to the yard & his owners.
