Nibras Gold Winner at Ffos Las
It was a great double for the team at Ffos Las yesterday thanks to nice wins for Nibras Gold and Walk of the Roses. Both horses are owned by the Value Racing Club and were ridden by Jack Tudor so it was doubles all round.

Nibras Gold runs at Ffos Las Today
Today we have three runners at Ffos Las, Gwencily Berbas, Nibras Gold and Walk Of The Roses and they are all ridden by Jack Tudor. Gwencily Berbas runs in the staying handicap chase at 3.20pm over 3m3f. He is a thorough stayer who won the Devon national last season and ran better than the bear result suggests last time in a competitive race at Cheltenham. Our twelve year old has been a great servant throughout his career and he is nearing a well earned retirement. It would be fantastic if he could win today and finish on a high. There are seven runners and he is about 100/30 second best in the betting and I think he has a good chance.

There are no runners for the stable today but there is plenty of racing action to keep us entertained. There is jumping at Stratford which gets underway at 2.05pm, while they race on the flat at Ripon. In Ireland they have a flat fixture at Naas while in France there is some very good jumps action at Auteuil. The Grade 1 Grand Steeple Chase De Paris is at 3.05pm our time and it looks a cracking contest and there are plenty of horses and jockeys you will recognise in the line up. Willie Mullins has two runners in the race, Franco De Port and Carefully Selected and Paul Townend and Danny Mullins are in the saddle. Rachel Blackmore rides in the race for David Cottin while 2022 Grand National winner Noble Yeats lines up with Sean Bowen in the saddle. It is an 18 runner field and the French look to have a very strong home team to try to keep the prize in France. They also have two other Grade 1 races on the card, one over fences and one over hurdles.

It is a busy day for racing today but there are no runners from Pond House. There are four flat meetings at Newbury, Newmarket, Thirsk and Doncaster an two jumps meetings at Bangor and Uttoxeter. In Ireland they have jumps racing at Wexford. Unfortunately at Newbury yesterday Talap did not repeat his Windsor run and finished midfield in his race. Although the ground was much quicker, jockey Tom Queally felt that was not and excuse, he just never really got involved at the business end of the race. It was competitive, but I thought he should have finished closer than he did. He was not perhaps at his best yesterday but has come out of the race full of beans! He does have an entry at Windsor on Monday so we may look at that but if not then he is likely to be next seen out over hurdles.

Talap runs at Newbury Today
We have just the one runner on the flat today, Talap. He runs in the final race on the card at Newbury, the 5.26pm handicap over 1m4f and Tom Queally rides. He heads the weights in this competitive looking 20 runner field for horses rated 0-72. It looks quite an open race but I would like to think we have a good each way chance. The ground is a bit different than when he won at Windsor on his latest start but I actually think he will prefer todays quicker conditions. He is a six time winner on the level who has won on a variety of ground and it is nice Tom Queally was available to ride again. The track should suit and hopefully a repeat of his last run will see him not too far away.

Micronormous runs at Fontwell Today
Today we have the one runner, Micronormous and she runs in at Fontwell this evening with Jack Tudor on board. She runs in the 7.05pm mares novices handicap hurdle over 2m5f. She won a bumper at Exeter impressively on stable debut but things have not quite gone to plan over hurdles since. She had her first run since a wind op at Ffos Las last time but did not handle the soft conditions. She will appreciate the much better ground today and we are hopeful of a bold show. She races off a mark of 105 which looks fair and in this race she looks to have a great chance.

Last Quarter runs at Worcester Today
Today we have two runners at Worcester, Last Quarter and Call Her Clever and both are ridden by Jack Tudor. Last Quarter runs in the 2m7f handicap chase at 2.15pm. He is a hurdles winner who has just had the four starts over fences, running well on two of those starts and not quite so well on the other two! It was a good effort at Ffos Las last time to be fourth and a repeat of that run should see him go close in this. The trouble is with him that you don't always know which Last Quarter will turn up! On the way he goes at home he is definitely better than his handicap mark of 109 but sometimes at the races he does not always choose to put his best foot forwards! We do all sorts with him at home to keep him mentally in a good place, he goes out with the hounds and goes up onto Culmstock beacon a couple of times a week to enjoy the views! He is about 6/1 third choice in the betting, the track should suit and I don't think he will mind the better ground and so fingers crossed he is on his best behaviour this afternoon!
