There are just two jumps cards today at Aintree and Wincanton. David sends two runners to Aintree. Perspicace runs in the 2.10 conditional jockey's handicap hurdle and David Noonan takes three pounds off. It looks a competitive 14 runner race. What a Moment makes his chasing debut in the 4.25 novice limited handicap chase. He was second last time out over hurdles at Perth and Tom Scu rides. He is an Irish point to point winner who should appreciate the larger obstacles. Tom Scu rides.

Alternatif after winning at Fontwell
Today we have five meetings, flat cards at Doncaster, Newbury and Chelmsford plus two jumps cards at Cheltenham and Kelso. David has the one runner, Alternatif in the 1.50pm at Cheltenham. It is a 3m1f handicap chase and Tom Scu rides our six year old. He is having his first run for 171 days. He has some fair form and would not be without a chance.

AP for ITV!!
Today there are four meetings, flat cards at Doncaster, Newbury and Wolverhampton plus a great jumps card at Cheltenham. David has two runners at Cheltenham, Gary Charm runs in the 5.05pm race, a 3m1f Amateur riders handicap chase. He is a 12/1 chance in the Racing Post and is ridden by Rex Dingle who takes a handy seven pounds off our top weight. Our eight year old grey is having his first run for Pond House and it will be interesting to see how he get's on. His recent form as not been so good but he has won 10 of 30 races in France. Purple N Gold runs in the 5.40pm Conditonal jockey's handicap hurdle ridden by David Noonan. He is a big price, 25/1 and he has had a busy summer but on his best form he does look to have a small each way chance.

It was a good afternoon for the stable yesterday with David enjoying a winner at Worcester yesterday when Herbert Park (pictured above) prevailed in a tight finish to the 2m7f handicap hurdle. Tom Scudamore was seen at his very strongest in the saddle as our charge fended off Western Cape by a neck. With ten lengths back to the third, let's hope that the assessor does not over-react! Well done to Worcester who put up some excellent prize money for there last meeting of the season. David says our winner could have one more run over timber before going novice chasing and he rates an exciting prospect.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Newmarket and Kempton as well as jumps cards from Worcester and Fontwell. David has one runner this afternoon as Herbert Park (pictured above) participates in the 4.05pm race at Worcester, a 2m7f handicap hurdle. It is a decent race with £10,000 in prize money up for grabs. The jury is out on Herbert Park - after a very promising novices' campaign in 2015 he was disappointing last season. If he can recapture his best there is no doubt that he can go very well under Tom Scudamore.

It was good to see David back among the winners yesterday afternoon. Unanimité ran out a facile winner of the staying handicap hurdle at Plumpton yesterday afternoon under Daryl Jacob. Ridden more prominently than of late he never looked to be in any trouble, although his task was arguably made much easier following the fall of main market rival Kamool who was sadly fatally injured. He was David's first runner for a few days so it was certainly nice to be back with a winner. He has three more runners at Exeter this afternoon.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Pontefract and Windsor as well as a jumps fixture from Plumpton. David has a runner this afternoon as Unanimite contests the 4.30pm race at Plumpton, a 3m1f handicap hurdle. He has to shoulder top weight of 11-12 but he ran creditably over a similar trip last time out and looks to have decent claims under regular rider Daryl Jacob. The Richard Johnson ridden Kamool looks to be the one we have to beat.
