P2P Review: Still in second gear when falling four fences from the finish at Garthorpe in February when making his racing debut, this youngster made no such mistake next time out. Tackling a maiden race for four- and five-year-olds at Brafield-On-The-Green in Northamptonshire he tracked his six rivals for a mile and a half, gradually passed backmarkers and then showed a lovely turn of foot to pick up the leaders on the home turn. At the penultimate fence he jumped into the lead and a good leap at the final jump enabled him to cruise home by seven lengths. The placed horses came from leading yards and had shown some ability in previous races. Nene River, who is a half-brother to the useful hurdler/chaser Omar Maretti, joined his current yard after changing hands for €42,000 at Goffs Land Rover Sale (now Arkle Sale). His dam, who was placed in bumper and hurdle races, was a half-sister to three winners and to the unraced dam of top-class chaser God’s Own.
