Supple's Stag!

Ascot were blessed with some glorious weather last week for their Royal meeting and while the warm, dry conditions were good for the racegoers, it did mean that prevailing ground conditions were very quick on course. I say conditions were good for racegoers, although I was somewhat surprised the dress code was not relaxed a little on the first day when temperatures hit 33°c. Unsurprisingly we were very quiet with just three runners, including one at flat racing’s centrepiece. Read more...

***Update***
Kalifourchon non-runner, 3.50pm Worcester

There are five meetings taking place this afternoon with flat action from Carlisle, Salisbury, Bath and Kempton as well as a jumps card from Worcester. David has two runners at Worcester this afternoon; Tis What It Is who contests the bumper for conditional jockeys and amateurs at 3.20pm and Kalifourchon who goes in the 2m7f handicap hurdle at 3.50pm. Tis What It Is has had just one run and finished a close third at Ffos Las on good/soft ground - he can only improve for that experience and should go well again under David Noonan. Kalifourchon has to bounce back from some disappointing efforts but he did win first time last season and is now 2lbs lower. Meanwhile, over on the flat at Kempton David runs Tobacco Road who was a close second at Chelmsford on his penultimate start - a repeat of that would see him go well again under Tom Marquand.
