We ran two horses yesterday at Kempton. A new filly Always Smiling ran in the novice hurdle under Harry Bannister, she ran well to finish 5th. She tries and jumps well but will need better ground, I am confident she will win a mares hurdle.
Duke Of Monmouth had his first run over fences, he jumped very well but they went to quick for him early on and he ran out of steam a little. After losing touch with the leaders Sam Twiston -Davies pulled him up to save him for another day, he could do with a stiffer track on softer ground where his jumping should get him to the front.
They have both come out of their races okay this morning.
Today we have 3 horses running at Exeter. Stoney Silence runs in the novice hurdle. He ran in two bumpers last year and showed enough to please us, it is his first time out over hurdles so I expect him to be a little green but he should like the ground, there are some horses with decent enough form in the race.
Attimo is a lovely big horse who will make a lovely chaser in time. He has run 3 times on the flat in Germany and France. The ground might be on the soft side for him but he should stay further than 2m.
Lord of House runs in the novice chase, it is his first time over fences. Dark Lover and Claret Cloak are good horses to come up against first time out but he has had a wind operation since his last run and I thought it was a nice track to start him off at.
