Today there are two jumps meetings at Aintree and Fontwell but the stable does not have any runners.  Traditionally there is usually racing at Wincanton today but unfortunately that meeting was abandoned earlier in the week with the ground being too firm.  The BHA and everyone involved have done a great job in arranging racing at Fontwell today at short notice and a couple of races will be shown live of ITV.  There is no flat racing today but in Ireland they have two jumps meetings at Galway and Wexford.

It is Day two of the Cheltenham Showcase meeting today after a good day of racing yesterday hopefully there is more of the same today.  The stable does not have any runners but American Sniper ran well enough at the track yesterday.  He just got a little tired at the top of the hill and I am sure he will improve for the run.  There is also jumps racing today up at Kelso.  There are three flat meetings at Doncaster, Newbury and Wolverhampton and in Ireland they have jumps racing at Galway.

 American Sniper runs at Cheltenham Today

Today we have the first meeting at Cheltenham this season and we have one runner in the opening race on the card, American Sniper.  He runs in the 1.15pm handicap hurdle over 2m3f and James Davies rides.  His form can be a little in and out but he is a good horse on his day and he is a real loveable character.  He looks to have it all to do in today's race and he is quite a big price.  Jack Tudor chose to ride Christian Williams' runner in this race, Last Rodeo.  That one is very lightly raced but did win on his last start at Lingfield last season.  I don't think Christian would be running him here for a day out so he could be interesting at 16/1 in the betting.

  Bashful Boy runs on the flat at Nottingham

There are two jumps meetings today at Ludlow and Fontwell, the stable does not have any runners at either of these two places but we do have a runner on the flat today, Bashful Boy at Nottingham, ground permitting.  He is due to run in the 2m2f handicap at 3pm with Rob Hornby on board but we are just a little worried about the ground being too soft so we will see what happens.  They had 8.6mm of rain overnight turning the ground to soft, heavy in places with a bit more rain forecast before the start time of his race.

We have two runners today at Worcester, Order of the Dance and Harry Junior.  They run in the final two races on the card, in the 2 divisions of the 2m4f handicap hurdle.  Callum Pritchard claiming five pounds rides Order of the Dance in the 4.20pm.  He is running with a seven pound penalty after his win at Ffos Las last week on stable debut and as long as the run doesn't come too soon I think he will take all the beating.  He was impressive in victory last week and with today's jockey's claim it means he is only two pounds higher than for that win the other day and it will be the last time he can run in this grade of race.  The track and ground should suit and he is currently 9/4 favourite for the race.  It is obviously a shame for our young conditional jockey Rian Corcoran that he is missing out on the ride on Order of the Dance today.  He is out of action at the moment following a fall at Newton Abbot on Saturday but is on the mend and hopefully will be back soon.
