There are three jumps meetings today at Huntingdon, Perth and Warwick but the stable does not have any runners. There are flat cards at Beverley and on the all-weather at Chelmsford while in Ireland, they have a jumps card at Wexford but the flat meeting at Tipperary has been abandoned due to waterlogging. There is still some rain about in some places!

Shot Boii is one of our three runners today!
Today we have three runners at Southwell and we kick off the eight race card with a runner in the first and and end with a runner in the last! Man Again, Shot Boii and Royal Defender are our three runners and Jack Tudor is on board all of them. Man Again runs in the 1.45pm handicap chase over 2m4f, he heads the weights and is about a 10/1 chance in the betting. Our five year old is a four time winner in France, but hasn’t shown much in two runs for the stable to date but I think we may see a little more today. The handicapper has dropped him a few pounds for those two runs and so he drops down in class of race this afternoon. He has also had wind surgery and wears a first time tongue strap, so I hope all of this comes together to produce a good run! He certainly shows a good attitude and more ability at home than he has shown on the racecourse so far. I don’t think he will mind the track or ground and would like to think he has a good each way chance.

Manuelito wins at Wincanton!
It was great to get our 45th winner of the season yesterday at Wincanton with Manuelito winning division two of the maiden hurdle over 2 miles. He had shown plenty of promise in two previous hurdle runs and put that experience to good use yesterday.

Today is Scottish National day and that is the feature race at Ayr alongside the Scottish Champion hurdle. The Ayr card looks very interesting aside from the big races with Willie Mullins having 18 runners on the day and by the end of play we may know even more which way the trainers title is likely to be heading. Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls have runners in every race on the card while Dan Skelton has runners in all bar the last two races.
