Airforce One
We have
been varying his routine just to keep the old boy interested. He had a nice
canter round ‘The Bowl’ yesterday which he seemed to really enjoy. I feel it
could be an idea to give him a spin back over hurdles to get his confidence back;
however the Handicapper would have to drop him as he is off a mark of 127.
Ballymurry
Really
starting to sharpen up, Dave Crosse rode him this morning and felt he was doing
his work a lot more easily. He thought he was more settled in his head. Another
3 or 4 weeks and he should be ready to take on the race track.
Big Jer
Did a good
strong half speed this morning upsides Stoney Silence, he looks to have
strengthened up enormously since he first started doing them. It was his most
impressive bit he has done. The plan still remains the same, to keep it steady
giving him every chance to grow into himself.
Duke of Monmouth
Heads off
to Warwick today with every chance, he will love the ground and the trip and
goes well fresh.
Enter Paradise
In the
process of getting him freshened up, it is not taking much as he is still taking
a keen hold up the gallops and is really enjoying life! He will hopefully be
out again in a couple of weeks.
Feisty Lass
She has come
on lots from her last couple of bits of work, which showed as she went so well
in her work this morning. However she does still have a belly on her and will
need a few more bits of work before she is ready.
Fine Parchment
In very
good order, I am looking forward to sending him out on the track. There is a 3m
H’Cap Chase at Bangor on 14th November which I think Charlie is
planning for him.
Lord of House
He has come
out of his race in great spirits. It is a very good sign as he has a light
frame. He is back in his normal routine and will be worked again on Saturday.
Charlie hopes to have him out again soon.
Low Gales
He has come
on a tonne in the last week. He is looking fitter and going well. He took off
with Charlie round ‘The Bowl’ yesterday which has done him the world of good as
he worked like Shergar with Gavin on him this morning! There could be a race
for him next Wednesday, due to the new rules there are no other suitable races
in the near future.
Maringo Bay
Will run
tomorrow at Towcester where he will love the ground, the track and the trip,
however it is a hot contest.
Masked Man
Flew up the
gallops this morning and heads to Sandown on Saturday, where I think he should
run a good race.
Prolinx
Worked well
this morning with Ballymurry, he is incredibly enthusiastic about his work.
There is still a bit to come off his belly so the next few bits of work should
conquer this before he hits the track. We might take him up the grass next week
to bring him on a bit.
Schumpters Lad
Ran a good
race at Kempton on Monday, he just needs the ground to be a bit quicker for him
than it was. He will now have a break and come back for some racing in the
spring.
Seventh Sky
Charlie
made the decision not to run him this week as he just felt he might come on for
a few more bits of work. He could go to Ludlow next Thursday.
Shocking Times
Schooled
very well over fences last week, he will school over them again tomorrow. He
worked strongly with Surrey Dream this morning, he looks to have come on a
great deal since his run. He should hopefully be out again soon.
Stoney Silence
Did a nice
half speed with Big Jer this morning. He seems to enjoy it and do it all very
easily. He has held his weight very well whilst we have been upping his work.
Strictly Rose
Continuing
to head in the right direction, however we still haven’t asked too much of her.
She has been enjoying cantering on the grass up ‘back of the hill’, her work
will be steadily increased.
Surrey Dream
It seems
that the more we do with him the more he impresses us, he did his strongest bit
of work yet this morning with Shocking Times. The plan still remains for him to
have a run on the flat on the 21st November.
Van Diemens Land
Was given a
mark of 110 after his run at Ascot on Saturday, he will be easier to place now
with a mark. He came out of the race a bit stiff. I gave him a steady canter up
the grass this morning which he loved.
Western King
Ran a
blinder to finish 3rd at Kempton on Monday whilst carrying a
penalty. He returned home fine, however he did lose a bit of weight which is
not a bad thing as he will come on for it.
Who Owns Me
He remains
in really good order at home, we are trying to keep him as fresh as possible.
He did a strong piece this morning which he did with his usual enthusiasm.
Charlie has put him in a Claimer at Southwell on the 12th November
however it looks to be a tough enough contest.
Za’Lan
Should go
to Sandown on Saturday with some head gear on, it looks a tough contest however
he has been on good form at home and loved having a spin round ‘The Bowl’
yesterday.
