Today the stable have no runners and there is a flat only day, which is being held at Newcastle, Nottingham, Newmarket, Hamilton and Leicester. Yesterday we had just the one runner at Worcester, which was Born In The West and he didn't quite back up from his run before at Newton Abbot when finishing second but i'm sure there will be plenty more days ahead for him and he is a nice horse.

Yesterday we had 2 runners for the stable at Newton Abbot. It was a sad start to the afternoon as we lost Happy Helen yesterday, she was a sweet horse and we hadn't had her long, but it never gets easier when you do lose one. Mr Tambourine Man didn't run to the form he has been in lately and couldn't bid the hat-trick, the sharper track and having the rise in the handicaps probably didn't help him on this occasion.

Mr Tambourine Man runs today!
Today we head to Newton Abbot with two runners, Happy Helen and Mr Tambourine Man. Happy Helen makes her debut for Pond House in the 2:30pm Juvenile Maiden Hurdle over 2miles 1f with Jack Tudor in the saddle. She has settled in well at home and while her form on the flat is only of a certain level she looks to be a better jumper so it will be interesting to see how she gets on today.

Oceanline runs at Ffos Las Today
The stable has two runners today, one under each code, Oceanline on the flat at Ffos Las and Born in the West at Hexham in the bumper. Oceanline returns to action after a winter break and is in good form at home. He runs in the 3.40pm handicap over two miles and we have the services of Oisin Murphy in the saddle. Our six year old is a three-time flat turf winner and was impressive at Ascot when last seen on the flat on the grass last autumn. He won that race off a mark of 82 and so is only two pounds higher this afternoon. The track and ground will suit and although the race looks competitive, I think he has a good chance.

Chemical Warfare Winner at Market Rasen
It was great to get a first win over hurdles for Chemical Warfare at Market Rasen yesterday. It was just his third start for the yard and after looking unlucky not to win (or he would have gone very close) last time at Worcester when falling at the last fence so it was nice to get some compensation. He seems to have enjoyed stepping up in distance and after momentarily looking in a little trouble round the home bend, he powered up the straight from the last to win going away. This will have done his confidence the world of good and he has a great attitude so I am sure there is more to come. He is entered again during the week at Newton Abbot and Worcester so we do have the option of running quickly with a penalty is we want to but I am not sure we will be going up that much so we will see how he is and go from there.
