It is another day of all flat action with four fixtures taking place from Salisbury, Windsor, Yarmouth and Chelmsford City. Unfortunately it wasn't the best of weekends as I did my money not once but twice on the Cesarewitch at Newmarket on Saturday. I backed both Ennistown and Starchitect and they finished alongside each other. The winner, Sweet Selection (who was 17lbs well-in at the weights) was a well-backed 7/1 chance and certainly looked to have a few pounds in hand.

It is another quiet weekend with just a couple of meetings taking place this afternoon on the flat at Goodwood and over the sticks at Chepstow. David has no runners this afternoon, although stable jockey Tom Scudamore has picked up a good looking outside ride aboard Birch Hill who has won his last couple of starts. This does represent a step-up in class however.

There are five meetings taking place this afternoon with flat action from Newmarket, York and Newcastle, while there are jumps fixtures from Chepstow and Hexham. It is one of those rare days that we have jump racing on, but David is represented on the flat with a couple of runners in the Cesarewitch. The Cesarewitch takes place at 4.10pm and although it takes places over the marathon trip of 2m2f it is something of a cavalry charge with thirty-four participants. David runs Starchitect and Ennistown (pictured above) and they both look to hold solid chances - Starchitect is the 8/1 second favourite having won at Salisbury last time from a 7lbs lower mark and he will be partnered by Jamie Spencer. Ryan Moore is aboard Ennistown who takes a big step up in trip, although he stayed 3m11/2f very well when an easy winner over hurdles at Cartmel last time - I reckon he could run a big race and he can still be backed at 25/1 this morning.

Today we have four meetings taking place with the first day of the Cesarewitch fixture at Newmarket, while there is also action on the level from York and Newcastle and a jumps card at Newton Abbot. Once again Newcastle should be embarrassed about offering only £39,000 for their eight race card, while Newton Abbot have over £100,000 in prize money for their seven race...well done to everybody at Newton Abbot, once again a fine example of how a small track should be run.

There are two flat meetings taking place this afternoon with action from Ayr and Chelmsford City but more importantly there are a couple of jumps fixtures from Exeter and Hereford...yes, Hereford. It is the first meeting to be held there since the track was closed down four years ago and I am sure that it is going to be well attended and a welcome addition back onto the calendar. Not only that, they also have the most prize money on offer today with a healthy £50,000 up for grabs. David has three runners this afternoon with Houston Dynimo participating in the 3.30pm race at Exeter and Daklondike and Purple 'N Gold (pictured above) in the 2.00pm and 4.15pm races at Hereford respectively.

Following a blank day over the sticks yesterday it is good to see that race planning have restored a bit of balance today with two flat meetings from Nottingham and Kempton and a couple of jumps fixtures from Ludlow and Towcester. David has one runner this afternoon as Chic Theatre contests the 1m7 1/2f handicap hurdle at Towcester at 3.50pm. He was a winner on good ground at Doncaster last season and our six year old looks to have decent claims from a mark of 120 under stable jockey Tom Scudamore.

Today we have four meetings taking place and they are all on the level with the action coming from Leicester, Catterick, Brighton and Kempton. I think we will shame Brighton today who have a bumper eight race fixture yet are offering a miserly £36,000 in prize money across the entire card. With no jump racing taking place,David unsurprisingly does not have any runners this afternoon.
