There are three jumps meetings today, cards at Huntingdon, Kelso and Uttoxeter plus it's Arc day at Chantilly. Tom Scu goes to Kelso to ride Awesome Tunes in the 3.25pm race, a handicap chase over 2m7f. He was fourth last time out over hurdles at Worcester but he is an Irish point to point winner who has schooled well at home and we hope he can run well. David has one runner at Uttoxeter, Unanimite at 3.35pm with Daryl Jacob on board. He has been slightly disappointing of late but has blinkers on this afternoon and tries the trip for only the second time, having run well at Musselburgh over further back in February.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Ascot and Newcastle while there is jumping action from Fontwell and Hexham. David has one runner today with Purple 'N Gold (pictured above) running in the 2m1 1/2f handicap chase at Fontwell at 4.10pm. He should love the good ground and is not unfeasibly treated from a handicap mark of 132 having won from 130 in the past. He should be thereabouts under stable jockey Tom Scudamore.

Today we have four meetings taking place with flat action from Chelmsford City, Newcastle and Brighton while there is a jumps card from Warwick. David runs Nice Thoughts in the two mile handicap hurdle at Warwick at 3.40pm. He was a winner on the flat and has shown a fair amount of ability thus far over hurdles without getting his head in front as yet. His Ffos Las second reads well in the context of this race, although he was a little disappointing when only fourth at odds-on last time at Worcester. Tom Scudamore is in the saddle and a big run is anticipated.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with three flat cards from Nottingham, Salisbury and Kempton as well as a jumps fixture from Bangor. David has two runners at Bangor in the novices’ hurdle at 4.20pm; Thunder Pass and Tobacco Road – it is a nine runner contest of two miles and it looks a trappy little race with several of the participants having very little form to go on. Our two runners were useful performers on the level but are yet to translate that ability to hurdles and would need to improve on what they have shown so far.

With the abandonment of Ayr this afternoon due to waterlogging we are left with just Wolverhampton on the all-weather, while there are jumps cards from Sedgefield and Southwell. It is a shame if you are a fan of racing that lives in the south of the country. David has no runners this afternoon but Tom Scudamore has picked up an outside ride at Southwell, while David Noonan has also come in for an outside ride aboard Geegeez Geegee - I love that name! Tom was aboard a winner yesterday when he steered Next Sensation to victory for his brother Michael, mind you he had won the 2015 Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival and was a stone lower than that so with a clear round he had to go close.

Today we have three meetings taking place with flat action from Bath and Hamilton (who have survived an early morning inspection), while there is a jumps fixture from Newton Abbot. They must have had quite a lot of the wet stuff at Hamilton as the ground is already officially given as heavy so there are bound to be some strange results. It sounds obvious, but don't forget if you are contemplating a wager, you are going to need a horse that handles conditions. Looking at the Newton Abbot card I see there are a couple of disappointing turnouts with two three runner races. The ground is good/soft, very much what you would expect for the time of year so I wonder what the problem is? Perhaps they are not putting on the right sort of races, or maybe there is just too much racing?
