It is the second day of Cheltenham’s April meeting today and the girls are the stars of the show with all seven races on the card being for mares and fillies. Cheltenham is the only jumps meeting of the day and the stable does not have any runners. Newmarket’s opening fixture of the year continues with the feature Craven Stakes taking place at 3.35pm. It is a Group 3 contest over a mile and Native Approach heads the market for the Godolphin team and Charlie Appleby.

Today is another quiet day for the stable, as we have no runners today. However, there is jumps racing at Cheltenham this afternoon, which is their first day of their two day meeting and Flat action at Kempton and Newmarket to look forward to. Beverley and Gowran Park were scheduled for today, but have been abandoned.

There is just the one jumps card today at Ffos Las but the stable does not have any runners. There was due to be jumping at Newton Abbot but that was already abandoned earlier on due to waterlogging. That is now their first two meetings of 2024 they have lost with their next racing scheduled to be on 8th May. Newton Abbot aren't the only ones who have been battling with the weather, as over in Ireland Gowran Park has also had to cancel their recent scheduled meetings. There are two flat meetings, on the grass at Newmarket and on the Tapeta at Newcastle. In Ireland they race over jumps at Naas.

Lady Balko runs today ay Chepstow!
Today is of course Grand National Day! We don’t have any runners at Aintree but we do have two at Chepstow, King Turgeon and Lady Balko. King Turgeon runs in the 2.15pm handicap chase over 2m7f and Gearoid Harney rides. He bounced right back to form last time at Taunton in first time blinkers to be a very close second and I don’t see why he won’t go very well today. It is quite a trappy open looking race and we are 9/2 third best in the betting, but he finished second at the track earlier this season and with Gearoid back on board claiming seven pounds hopefully we won’t be far away. I am not sure he appreciated the really heavy ground he encountered mid-way through his season and liked the better conditions last time and a repeat of that run gives him every chance. He is in good form at home so fingers crossed!

Yesterday we had two runners at our local track Taunton. Skin Full didn't quite have the pace over this trip and should be better over further in time. Rebel Angel, Jack came back and thought she struggled on the ground, getting through it and got a bit stuck in the mud.
