Attimo
The splint
on his leg has not reduced in size at the rate we had first hoped. He has had a
cortisone injection and will be on the walker for another week. We hope to ride
him on Monday.
Ballymurry
He was
disappointing at Exeter on Tuesday, he looked to be hanging and not moving that
great. Nothing has immediately come to light that would have caused this,
however we do have the back man coming to give him a check up.
Big Jer
He looks
very well and worked nicely yesterday. Charlie hopes to run him over 2m 6f at
Fontwell next Tuesday. I would be hopeful of him running a good race.
Duke of Monmouth
He has had
a very quiet time since his last run at Chepstow. He is eating well and looks well;
however he is still not as fresh and bouncy as he can be.
Enter Paradise
He is fresh
and well and ready to go, the ground will need to dry up a bit for him to run
again.
Feisty Lass
She ran a
creditable race on ground that I thought was too soft for her. Gavin reported
that her wind caught her out in the closing stages, therefore we will apply a
tongue tie next time. She has run up a bit light so it will be a few weeks
before she is next out.
Fine Parchment
He ran a
solid race at Fakenham only to get muscled out 2 fences from home. His jumping
was as brilliant as ever. He has come home fine and we now plan to get him
freshen up before he runs again. The Handicapper dropped him 2lbs.
King Arthur
We are just
waiting for some better ground, he is fresh and well and ready to go. I am
looking forward to seeing him run in a hood as it seemed to work for the RSA
winner last week!
Lord of House
Noel came
in to school him over fences again this morning, he schooled very well (Video
on the website) and has improved again from last week. Noel thought he would
make a good chaser next season.
Maringo Bay
Charlie has
been riding him a lot, he reports him to be very fresh. He hopes to have him
out in a couple of weeks.
Masked Man
He is another
one that really needs the ground to dry out. He is a bit behind the others with
his summer coat coming through; however this is no reflection on his form. He
is currently trying to buck people off at every opportunity!
Prolinx
He was
unlucky at Southwell, I personally felt that in the heavy ground over 2m 4f he
just struggled to quicken and go through with it. I thought on the whole his
jumping was great and he is improving with every run. He is still well
handicapped. He came home well and should be out again soon.
Seventh Sky
He won
nicely at Taunton but was given a 9lb rise which I thought was a bit harsh. He
holds entries at Bangor, Newbury & Wincanton this weekend. Wincanton looks
the most obvious at this stage to cut up.
Stoney Silence
He schooled
very well this morning for Noel. He really likes him, he still has a lot to
learn but there is potential. It looks like he may have another bumper run before
he goes out.
Van Diemens Land
He has come out of his Sandown race fresher
than he went into it! I suspect he wasn’t letting him self down in the heavy
ground. We are now waiting for some better ground with a step up in trip.
Victor Leudorum
He jumped like a little bunny this morning, if
anything a bit exuberant! Noel was happy with him. He is not far off a run now; he just needs
the better ground.
Western King
Gavin
schooled him this morning; he is improving with every schooling session. His coat
is slowly coming through and he looks well. Charlie hopes to run him soon
however he could really do with the ground drying out a bit.
Who Owns Me
He really
is ready to run soon and looks terrific. The race at Bangor on Saturday looks
very competitive, there might be easier options coming up.
Yazdi
He came
home with a bad overreach, which Noel thinks happened at the first hurdle, which
would have affected his run. However 2m 5f in soft ground may have been a bit
much for him at the moment. The overreach is healing up nicely and I hope he
will be out again soon.
