Attimo
The area
where he banged himself is still slightly inflamed and a little sore. However
he is still on the walker and Charlie has the vet coming for a check up
tomorrow. He does hope to get him ridden out next week.
Ballymurry
He schooled over fences again this morning, he
started off a little careful to begin with but we then dropped him in behind Mr
Big to give him a nice lead and he was much better – he was even better again
the last time he went up the line. Charlie was delighted with him.
Big Jer
He has been
pleasing us lately in his work. He will hopefully run at Chepstow on Saturday.
The rain that we are getting today and that forecast for Friday and Saturday
will be in his favour, he will appreciate the softer ground.
Duke of Monmouth
He holds
entries at Chepstow on Saturday, Warwick on Sunday and Taunton on Monday. All
three are realistic options at this stage. I think Charlie hopes to run him
wherever he will get the softer ground.
Enter Paradise
He ran his usual honest race where once again he
found one to good. I feel 2m 6f is still a bit sharp for him and maybe we have
applied the front running tactics one to many times now. We might try and drop
him in over further as an option next time out. I am sure he will be ready to
run again in a couple of weeks, where the ground should hopefully be a bit
quicker too.
Feisty Lass
She holds
entries at Chepstow on Sunday and Plumpton and Taunton on Monday. She might
struggle to get into the races as she has a ballot number in all 3. She did a
nice piece of work yesterday and still looks great in her skin. Charlie plans
to run her in blinkers.
Fine Parchment
He has been
out in the field a few days this week and has absolutely loved it. We have
mainly just been trying to freshen him up and keep him sweet. He could run at Sandown
on Saturday, however another week might not do him any harm.
King Arthur
He will run
on Saturday at Sandown in a 2m Juvenile 0-125 Hurdle. Charlie still plans to
run him in a hood which he schooled well in this morning, hopefully it might
settle him better.
Lord of House
He had his
first school over fences today, which as you can imagine came very naturally to
him. He was a bit careful but he has loads of scope and looked an exciting
prospect to go Novice Chasing with next year.
Maringo Bay
He has been
out in the field lots over the last few days, in a hope to freshen him up. He
is eating well and is starting to get a bit more of a shine to his coat.
Masked Man
He heads off to Sandown tomorrow for the Grand
Military Gold Cup, which is the race he won last year. The drying ground will
be in his favour, lets hope the rain today does not get into the ground to
much.
Prolinx
Once again
a very frustrating day with him on Saturday. He stayed on well after the last, which
is something we didn’t think he would do. Instructions to Sam were to go as
late as possible, now we know he does settle and stay we can up him to 2m 4f
and ride him a bit handier.
Seventh Sky
He remains very fresh and well. He holds entries
on Monday at both Taunton and Stratford where he could run at either. Charlie
plans for him to be ridden a bit more handy next time.
Stoney Silence
He ran a
very promising race at Huntingdon on Sunday to finish 4th. Sam said
he gave him a great feel and was maybe a bit green but would come on a lot from
the experience. He has come out of the race better than I thought he would. He
ate up that night and has continued to do so all week. He has been for a walk
everyday since; the lads tell me he needs a canter soon before he bucks one of
them off!
Van Diemens Land
He heads off to Sandown tomorrow for 2m
Hurdle, to be ridden by Major Alex Michael. The drying spell will be in his
favour, however the rain today will not. We know he wants further but Charlie
thinks that this isn’t the strongest race.
Victor Leudorum
He schooled over fences this morning on the
grass, it was very exciting to watch as he is a real natural. As with most
things he did it with real enthusiasm. He should be ready to run in a couple of
weeks.
Western King
He schooled
nicely over fences this morning. He did his first bit of work yesterday since
his wind op, he has lost a bit of fitness however he is going well and it won’t
take long to regain. He should be ready to run in a couple of weeks.
Who Owns Me
He is very
fresh and well, taking off with most of jockeys! He should be ready to run in a
week or so.
Yazdi
Yesterday was very frustrating as we didn’t
learn anything about him. He looked to slip on landing and un-shipped Sam T-D. He
is none the worse for his outing so Charlie plans to run him again soon.
