There are three fixtures taking place this afternoon with jumps action from our local track at Taunton, while there are two all-weather flat meetings from Kempton and Southwell. David has quite a few runners at Taunton today with Vincent's Forever, Ramses de Teillee, Sweettoothtommy and Port Navas all taking part. It looks like a tricky day for our runners. Ramses de Teillee (pictured above) makes his debut for the stable this afternoon having shown some decent form when winning an Irish point-to-point, although this appears to be a very competitive maiden hurdle. Port Navas has been in consistent form of late, finishing in the frame on his last three starts and he could be our best chance today.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps action from Hereford and Ayr while there is an all-weather flat card from Chelmsford City. Tom Scudamore makes the long journey up to Ayr for the ride aboard Mango Cap for the stable. He contests the three mile handicap hurdle at 2.30pm - a trip that he won over at Perth earlier in the season. He will probably need to improve again from this higher mark although he should go well once again.

There are just two meetings taking place this afternoon with a jumps fixture from Fakenham and an all-weather flat card from Lingfield. To be honest, with all the best meetings coming over the Christmas period, today's action looks decidedly ordinary. It is hardly surprising that David does not have any runners today so I have only paid the meetings lip service. The one that catches the eye to me is G'day Aussie in the 2.20pm race at Fakenham who is partnered by in-form jockey Brian Hughes.

We have four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Ascot, Haydock and Newcastle, while there is an all-weather flat fixture from Lingfield. There is some excellent racing to look forward to and David has runners at Ascot and Haydock. He runs French Champion Hurdle and Cheltenham Festival winner Un Temps Pour Tout (pictured above) in the Grade One Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot. He is clearly better than his last run in the Hennessy and would have been a lot shorter in the market without that effort - he looks to have place prospects in the hands of Tom Scudamore.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumping action from Ascot and Uttoxeter and all-weather flat cards from Newcastle and Wolverhampton. The stable has a runner at Uttoxeter as Saint John Henry (pictured above) contests the 2m7 1/2f handicap hurdle at 2.55pm. He doesn't get much respite from the handicapper and duly carries top weight of 11-12 once again and he remains 8lbs higher than his last winning mark which was nearly two years ago now! David Noonan is in the saddle and he can claim a handy 3lbs off his back. He is likely to be around the 5/1 mark.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Exeter and Towcester as well as a couple of all-weather flat cards from Newcastle and Chelmsford City. David has one runner at Exeter; Thunder Pass (pictured above) who takes in the 2m5 1/2f amateur riders' handicap hurdle at Exeter. He ran as well as could be expected in a higher grade last time and should find this a bit easier. The Post have put him in as their second favourite and he will be partnered today by Rex Dingle who takes 7lbs off his back. Meanwhile, conditional jockey David Noonan has picked up three outside rides at the Devon track and looks to have fair claims aboard Long John in the 2.35pm race.

We have four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps action from Musselburgh and Newbury while there are also a couple of all-weather flat cards from Lingfield and Kempton. David has two runners at Newbury today with Vincent's Forever contesting the juvenile hurdle of two miles at 12.20pm and Ballywilliam in the novices' limited handicap chase at 1.30pm. Vincent's Forever was a decent performer on the flat for John Gosden and is clearly better than when disappointing on his first start over timber at Market Rasen - the hood is back on and a better effort is anticipated. Meanwhile, useful hurdler Ballywilliam (pictured above) makes his chase debut and the more rain, the better his chance - the trip will suit and he has place prospects at odds of around 10/1.
