Airforce One
Ran OK at Wincanton
on Sunday. Turning down the back the second time he looked to pick up the bit
again after a few reminders from Sam Thomas, then slightly fell away again
turning for home after a few jumping errors. On the whole Sam was happy with him;
he said he felt a bit rusty and got a bit tired. He has returned home fine and
well.
Ballymurry
Improving
with his fitness all the time, did a strong piece of work upsides Who Owns Me
this morning. He is looking a bit tighter over the last few days. He still
needs quite a bit more work. We hope to school him in the morning.
Big Jer
Coming on a
tonne in his work, we have been trying to get him to use himself in the hope he
finds life a bit easier as he is such a big horse. He schooled really well with
Gavin on him last Thursday.
Duke of Monmouth
Very nearly
ready for a run, worked on the grass again this morning which he loves. There
is a race for him at Chepstow over 3 miles, which could be a good place for him
to start.
Enter Paradise
Ran a
blinder to finish Second at Aintree. After a bold bid to make all he was just
headed in the last 150 yards. I think he should stay over hurdles for the time
being as he looked more comfortable than he does over a fence. He has returned
home still full of beans.
Feisty Lass
Did a good
strong piece of work this morning, she has definitely come on for her last two
pieces of work. However there is still lots more to be done to get into her. We
plan to school her in the morning.
Fine Parchment
I rode him
in a really strong piece of work this morning upsides Seventh Sky, he doesn’t
feel too far off a run. He has been schooling very well and feels in good order.
Lord of House
Ran a good
race to finish third at Aintree. However 6 of the 9 hurdles were omitted due to
low sun, which lead to them going a crawl then sprinting home. Sadly we didn’t
learn an awful lot about him, but he has returned home fine and we hope to
learn more next time out.
Low Gales
Schooled
very well over a fence last Thursday. He did a strong piece of work this
morning up the grass. However he is still a few weeks off a run simply because
he is a big stuffy horse.
Maringo Bay
Is flying
at home, he schooled brilliantly last Thursday. I was delighted with his work
this morning. He holds and entry in a competitive Novice Chase over 3 miles at
Wetherby, where it is forecast to come up soft for him, however it could just
be a week to soon.
Masked Man
Did a good
piece of work this morning, and looks to be one of our more forward horses. He is
on course for a 2m 4f H’Cap Chase at Sandown on the 10th.
Prolinx
Did a good
strong piece of work this morning, still looks a bit heavy which does give us
something to work on. A bit of time off a run but he is going in the right
direction.
Schumpters Lad
Is fresh,
well and ready to get back on the track. Charlie has him in at Kempton and Plumpton
on Monday , providing the ground dries up a bit he should take his chance in
one of the two.
Seventh Sky
He has
really come into himself in the last 10 days. He looks well and is working very
well too. Holds entries at Kempton and Plumpton on Monday, however it could
just come a week to early for him.
Shocking Times
Back on the
work list, he looks to have tightened up for his run. I think he has mentally
recovered from his race a lot quicker than he ever did last year, he should run
again in 10 days or so.
Stoney Silence
Still an
absolute pleasure to deal with. He is definitely made for a fence one day. He
is doing everything we ask of him very easily at home. He could just nick a
bumper on the way.
Strictly Rose
Still hacking
away up the grass, she is in a nice routine and looks to have completely
settled in to her new home. Rose has been riding her a lot lately and has
commented on how she is always trying to please.
Surrey Dream
Really
enjoying his work and taking it very well. However there is still more to put
into him. He could be out on the flat shortly.
Van Diemens Land
Back on the
work list this morning, he has come on from his run at Cheltenham. He holds an
entry for Ascot on Saturday where he will most likely run.
Western King
Come on a
tonne in the last few weeks, he is not far off a run. He has been schooling
very well and could go to Kempton on Monday.
Who Owns Me
Another one
back on the work list. He has tightened up for his run. Tanked up the ‘Bank’
this morning with Peter on him which is great to see. The Handicapper has
dropped him 2, which should be a help to him when he next runs in a couple of
weeks.
Za’Lan
Looks fit
and ready to run. He is not always the most genuine in his work at home, which
could lead to Charlie putting on some head gear on his next outing. We will school
him in the morning then will look for a race for him very soon.
