There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Nottingham and Kempton as well as a couple of jumps fixtures from Chepstow and Musselburgh. The stable does not have any runners today although stable jockey Tom Scudamore goes to the Welsh track where he has picked up a couple of decent outside rides. Citrus fared the best of our runners at Exeter yesterday when finishing fourth in the novices' hurdle - he wasn't beaten all that far and can win a little race somewhere. Poisoned Berry finished sixth in the same race and a similar comment applies to her - a terrible mistake at the second certainly didn't help her chances yesterday.

The flat outnumbers the jumps fixtures again this afternoon as there are three flat cards from Wolverhampton, Redcar and Kempton, while the sole jumps fixture comes from Exeter. Exeter have done an excellent job and offer nearly as much prize money as the three flat meetings combined. David is going to be busy this afternoon with plenty of runners at the Devon track with Citrus, Poisoned Berry, Purple 'N Gold, Gary Charm, Skylander and For 'N Against all representing the yard. We have had another foggy start to the day so let's hope that it clears up on Haldon Hill.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Hereford and Plumpton while there is an all-weather flat card from Kempton. David has one runner this afternoon as Awesome Tunes (pictured above) goes in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Plumpton at 3.10pm. The Post make him a 14/1 chance and he could prove a little bit of each-way value. This trip could suit our former Irish point-to-point winner who is partnered by stable jockey Tom Scudamore.

There are just two meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps fixtures from Carlisle and Huntingdon. The stable has runners at each meeting with Twentytwo's Taken participating in the 2m4f novices' handicap chase at Carlisle at 1.35pm, while Port Navas represents us at Huntingdon in the 3m1f handicap hurdle at 3.00pm. Twentytwo's Taken has some decent winning form over hurdles and hopefully she can translate that ability to the larger obstacles on this chase debut - she is partnered by Tom Scudamore. Michael Heard is aboard Port Navas and claims a handy 5lbs off his back, although he will need to improve on what he has shown thus far to figure.

The stable enjoyed a nice winner at Uttoxeter yesterday afternoon when Mr Burgees ran out a ready winner of the 2m4f handicap chase. He jumped really well in the first time blinkers and had the race won from a long way out despite idling in the closing stages. Tom Scu said afterwards that he was 'lovely' - I think he was referring to the horse! Hopefully the headgear will continue to have the desired effect and if so, he can go on to better things.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat action from Newmarket and Newcastle while there are a couple of jumps fixtures from Uttoxeter and Wetherby. David has one runner today; Mr Burgees who takes part in the 4.20pm race which is a 2m4f handicap chase. Our seven year old has some fair form and is fitted with a pair of blinkers for the first time. A clear round of jumping would give him a good chance under Tom Scudamore. Newcastle deserve a dishonourable mention again with only £37,000 in prize money up for grabs across their eight race card - more low value, low grade fodder on the all-weather, just what we all need!

Eamon An Cnoic ran out a good winner at Fakenham yesterday under Tom Scudamore. We did benefit from a bit of help from The Blue Bomber who jumped out to his right but jumping is the name of the game. Eamon won in the style of an improving sort and considering he was second in an Irish point-to-point over three miles there is every chance that he will improve over a longer trip too. Meanwhile the runner-up also looks like one to keep an eye on, especially when he goes the other way around. Carqalin looks as though he could do with a little help from the handicapper.
