News@Neardown 12.12.12

Air Force One
He holds and entry at Bangor in a 0-135 Hurdle on Friday. I hope he goes for this. He looks terrific in his skin.

Attimo
I rode him up ‘Back of the Hill’ this morning; he is a nice horse that gives you a great feel. However he is enormous for a 3 year old. He has a big knee action which will be perfect for the soft ground in these winter months.

Ballymurry
He ran a nice race for us at Warwick on Sunday. Sam was happy with him especially with his jumping; however he felt he hated the ground. He thought if it was better /softer ground rather than tacky holding ground he would have preferred it. He has returned home safe and well.

Big Jer
He heads to Taunton tomorrow for a Novice Hurdle. I hope he has nice day out and learns from the experience. He will come on for the run.

Duke of Monmouth
He has freshened up nicely after enjoying a quiet week. We will now put him back into a routine with all the others and will run him again soon. Charlie might give him a pop in the morning just to get his confidence back.

Enter Paradise
He has enjoyed a quiet few days since his run. So much so he took off with Nicky up ‘Back of the Hill’ this morning and jogged all the way home! He seems a much happier horse this year.

Feisty Lass
She looks great at the moment. Kyryl rode her this morning and was very happy with her. She did a nice piece of work last Saturday and Charlie hopes to work her again this Saturday.

Fine Parchment
He was running a blinder on Monday when he went a bit long 2 out and unshipped his pilot. Whether he would have won or not is for you to decide! He has returned home fine and well and we will find a race for him again soon.

King Arthur
He did a very good piece of work this morning upsides Lord of House. Paul was impressed with him; he thought he showed a very professional attitude to his work. He is still on course for a run at the end of the month.

Lord of House
He did a good strong piece of work this morning with Kyryl on him. He still looks amazing and holds and entry at Folkestone next Tuesday in a Novice Hurdle.

Maringo Bay
He ran a strong race on Saturday at Chepstow, coming up against one too good for him on the day. He has come out of the race well which means hopefully we can get him out again a bit quicker than last time. He is eating well and looks great.

Masked Man
He worked with Gavin on him this morning, he reported him feeling fresh and well. He is slowly putting his condition back on, but I feel I could still get some more shine into his coat.

Prolinx
He looks well at the moment and has put a good bit of the weight he lost at Newbury back on. He should be out again soon; we plan to school him over a fence in the morning.

Seventh Sky
He did another strong piece of work this morning. He holds an entry at Lingfield on Saturday, we will have to see how the race turns out.

Shockingtimes
He was a disappointing 3rd on Monday and has returned home a bit stiff. We have sent him into the vets for a full check up.

Stoney Silence
He has had 2 nice canters up the bank today after his 2 bits of work last week, he feels to have come on a lot for the work. He will have a nice quite walk tomorrow.

Surrey Dream
He worked upside Victor Leudorum this morning. He looks pretty fit now after a couple of runs on the flat. He will school in the morning with the hope of running him over hurdles soon.

Van Diemens Land
He was right there turning in yesterday at Fontwell, however the tacky holding ground just caught him out. I think a step up to 2m 4f over better ground will just help him out. He has returned home fine today.

Victor Leudorum
He did a good bit of work this morning with Surrey Dream, he is getting fitter all the time. We plan to school him over a fence tomorrow morning and see how he takes to it.

Western King
Rose rode work on him this morning, alongside Air Force One and was delighted with him, however she did say he can get a bit lazy in his work sometimes. Charlie hopes to school him over a fence in the morning in the hope of running him in a Beginners Chase at Folkestone next Tuesday.

Who Owns Me
Once again the Golden Star! He put up such a battle for such a little horse. He was given a great ride by Paul. He has returned home fine and has been out for a walk this morning. The Handicapper knocked him up to 125 and I imagine he will go up another 4 or 5lbs for Monday’s efforts.
