There are just two meetings today and they are both jumps cards at Fakenham and Perth. David does not have any runners but Tom Scu has a couple of rides at Fakenham. The best of these looks to be Eyes of a Tiger who was a winner last time out. There is good prize money on offer and it is a shame with £13,000 it looks like there will only be three runners. I keep moaning about prize money so it is a real shame that when tracks but a decent prize up for grabs that it is not well supported.

Dell'arca runs at Worcester
Today we have seven meetings, flat cards at Epsom, Musselburgh, Doncaster, Newcastle and Lingfield plus jumps cards at Hexham and Worcester. David has two runners at Worcester, Dell'arca and Lady of Longstone. Dell'arca runs in the 4.05pm 2m4f handicap hurdle. Our eight year old was a good second at Aintree last time out and previous to that he won at Ascot on good ground. It will be hard for him to give weight away to his nine opponents but he is a class horse on his day. Tom Scu rides. Lady of Longstone runs in the 5.00pm 2m7f handicap hurdle. She carries top weight minus Michael Heard's five pound claim. She has pulled up on her last two starts so a clear round is the order of the day but she is a six time winner and does love Worcester so it would be good to see her bounce back.

Purple N Gold runs at Market Rasen
Today we have six meetings, flat cards at Epsom, Catterick, Doncaster, Goodwood and Bath plus a jumps card at Market Rasen. David runs Purple N Gold in the 3.25pm at Market Rasen, a 2m2f handicap hurdle. Our eight year old has won off higher marks but has been disappointing on recent runs over fences. He is the outsider of the field at 10/1 in the Post. Tom Scu rides in the first two races at Market Rasen and there are only three runners in each. They give the ground as good, I wonder what the problem is? Tobacco Road ran a cracker at Chelmsford last night to finish second, he has only beaten 1/2 a length at 8/1. His turn must be near.

Well Chief has Sadly Passed Away
Today we have six meetings, flat cards at Hamilton, Wolverhampton, Lingfield, Chelmsford and Newcastle and a jumps card at Ffos Las this evening. David has three runners at Ffos Las plus a flat runner at Chelmsford. Tobacco Road runs in the 8.40pm at Chelmsford with Pat Dobbs on board. This is a 1m2f handicap 0-85 and he looks on a good mark of 77 having won off of 84 and 81 in the past. Let's hope he gets it all together tonight. At Ffos Las David runs Citrus in the 6pm 2m5f novice handicap chase. He was pulled up on his chasing debut last time at Stratford but all his aids have been left off this time. He has definitely got ability but a clear round will help! Abracadabra Sivola and Gone Too Far both run in the 6.30 3 mile handicap chase. Even with top weight Abracadabra Sivola with David Noonan on board looks to have a squeak. Gone Too Far would have to improve on recent runs.

Today we have five meetings, flat cards at Beverley, Nottingham, Ayr and Kempton plus a jump card at Cartmel. David does not have any runners today. Last night Sweettoothtommy finished third but he was beaten a fair way. He should drop a few more pounds though which should help for the future. I thought Arkadios was running a cracker but he messed the last two hurdles up which definitely cost him a place at least. He surely has the ability to win a race. Rod's Dream finished third in the bumper on his racecourse debut. I thought this was a good first ever run on a racecourse and he can only improve with experience. The horse with experience in the race, the Philip Hobbs trained Horse Force One won the race.

Rod's Dream runs at Newton Abbot
There are five meetings today, flat cards at Leicester, Redcar, Lingfield and Wolverhampton plus a jumps card at Newton Abbot this evening. David has three runners at Newton Abbot, Sweettoothtommy, Arkadios and newcomer Rod's Dream. Sweettoothtommy runs in the 6.20pm 3m2f handicap chase. He finished fourth last time out at Chepstow running on from 2 out and so the step up in trip today should suit. Arkadios runs in the 7.20pm 2m2f handicap hurdle. He carries top weight of 11st 13lb less Michael Heard's five pound claim. His form figures do not look the greatest but he was in the lead at the second last at this track when falling on his penultimate start. Let's hope he can reproduce that run and then he would be in with a chance. David's last runner is in the 8.20pm bumper and Rod's Dream is having his first ever run on a racecourse. He works well at home but the horse to beat is the Philip Hobbs' trained Horse Force One as he won a point to point 23 days ago.

Happy Birthday MCP!
There are six meetings today, flat cards at Windsor, Chelmsford, Leicester and Redcar plus jumps cards at Huntingdon and Cartmel. Tom Scu and David Noonan both have rides at Huntingdon but David does not have any runners today. It was a good day for the yard at Ffos Las on Saturday evening. Delface won the first race for this coming season on his debut for Pond House. He jumped well and won by just over 3 lengths. The rain softened ground probably helped and he should be able to follow up. Three Star General was another to run well to finish second. He was beaten less than 4 lengths by Positively Dylan and if he can produce that form next time he should have no problem in going one better. Bambi Du Noyer was only beaten a neck by Alyas Emperor and they were clear of the third. He surely is another winner waiting to happen. Tis What It Is finished third on his racecourse debut and can surely only improve for the experience.
