Jumps racing resumes today after a mini-break and we have two runners at Perth. Red Happy and Favori De Sivola made the journey to Scotland yesterday, leaving early to beat the Friday traffic they had arrived at the course and were having a pick of grass by lunchtime.

Today we have one runner on the flat at Newbury, Lady Reset. She runs in the 4.55pm apprentice handicap over 1m2f and Aiden Brookes rides. The ground should suit and this represents the weakest race she has contested on the flat so far this summer so I would like to hope she won’t be too far away come finish at a good each way price of 12/1.

The flat action continues today with five meetings at Salisbury, Beverley, Yarmouth, Ffos Las and Kempton. In Ireland they have a flat card at Gowran Park. Yesterday there was some Group racing at Deauville in France and Ace Impact won the 1m2f Prix Guillaume d’Ornano for trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. The three year old colt is favourite for the Arc, it was just a workmanlike performance yesterday but the trainer was happy with the run under jockey Cristian Demuro. He heads the betting at 9/2 with Hukum at 7/1 and Paddington at 10/1. The race is a little way off however so not sure I would want to be backing any of them right now!
