We have had a busy early part of the week with runners at Kempton, Exeter and Chepstow so apologies for the lack of blog but this is the first time I have sat at my desk properly all week!

Attimo ran a very nice race to finish 5th of 18 in his first hurdle race, he is bound to come on quite a bit for it. He is the closest that I have ever had to a horse that looks like Denman! Lord Of House ran in his first novice chase, although he finished 3rd we don't really know much more about him than we did before the race. He jumped beautifully until he made a bad mistake slipping in to the ditch effectively putting him out of the race. Stoney Silence got inferred with at the first hurdle and ran no race because of it, we will draw a line through that.

Sands Cove ran a very good race at Chepstow on Wednesday, it was his first run for us and his new owners. He jumped beautifully and finished 3rd, it looks like we will have some fun with him this year.

Noel Fehily and Mark Grant schooled for us yesterday. Airmens Friend and Low Gales jumped very boldly over fences while Elmore Back and Greyfriars Drummer were equally as good over hurdles.

We loose schooled 3 for the first time in the new jumping ring. It worked really well and is a good asset to the yard.

We have just had a gorgeous horse arrive from Germany called Verano. He has come from Mario Hofer and has won twice on the flat, he is for Sale. Details and pictures of the new horses which are for sale will be up on the website early next week.

It was great to see AP ride his 4,000 winner at Towcester. He is a great example to all of us, a true professional.
