There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Haydock and Warwick as well as all-weather flat fixtures from Newcastle and Kempton. David has no runners today so stable jockey Tom Scudamore goes to Warwick for some outside rides and he looks to have a couple of small chances. Of yesterday's runners The Two Amigos and Martabot finished fourth with the latter looking as though he would appreciate more of a test of stamina and possibly softer ground. Carqalin ran his best race to date and maybe he would benefit from a slightly shorter trip.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Exeter and Wetherby supported by an all-weather fixture from Southwell. David has four runners at Exeter this afternoon; The Two Amigos, Martabot, Carqalin and Whitley Neill. The Two Amigos runs in the 2.30pm race, a 2m7f novices' handicap hurdle - he put up his best performance to date last time when runner-up at Taunton and a similar level of form would give him every chance here despite a 4lbs higher mark. Martabot was also second last time and he deserves a change of luck - he goes in the 2m2 1/2f handicap hurdle and is another with a chance under David Noonan who claims a handy 3lbs off his back. Carqalin would have to improve on his form to date to figure while Whitley Neill contests the bumper and will have learned plenty for his racecourse debut.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Taunton and Southwell as well as an all-weather flat card from Kempton. We have one runner today as Lady Of Longstone (pictured above) goes in the three mile handicap hurdle at 4.50pm. Regular rider Michael Heard is in the saddle and he claims a handy 5lbs off her back - our seven year old mare has won six times including the final of the mares' challenger series at Haydock last season. She has dropped in the weights subsequently but would need to improve on her most recent outing when pulled up at Exeter. She is a big price but a return to her best would see her go well.

David has three runner at Ffos Las this afternoon, Citrus, Herbert Park and Abracadabra Sivola. Citrus runs in the 2.00pm conditional jockeys handicap hurdle over 2 miles. He would have to improve on recent runs but he ran well for long way last time at Wetherby when perhaps not seeing out the trip. A repeat of that would give him a chance with David Noonan on board. Herbert Park and Abracadabra Sivola both run in the 4.45pm handicap chase over three miles. Both horses have the form to be in the shake up. Tom Scu rides Herbert Park and David Noonan rides Abracadabra Sivola.

Gevrey Chambertin runs
in the Midlands National
What a Festival has just finished at Cheltenham, especially if you are Irish! Why don't they just move it to Ireland it would save a lot of travelling! I suppose they do have Punchestown so the English will have to try and nick a few back although it will be tough! Sizing John won the Gold Cup in good style for Jessica Harrington. He was runner up 12 months ago in the Arkle to Douvan! He is only seven and could still have some improvement to come. Paul Nicholls won the Foxhunters but it is something that i think should not be allowed - professional trainers entering horses in this race, surely it should be for amateur's? It was however great for Bryony Frost to win on Pacha Du Polder and brilliant tos ee her dad Jimmy and brother Hadden running up the Cheltenham hill behind her! I thought she gave him a great ride and her dad and brother were very proud.

Dell'arca runs in the MCP race
Today is the last day of Cheltenham and there are also three other meetings, a jump card at Fakenham and two flat cards at Wolverhampton and Lingfield. David has two runners at Cheltenham, Magie Du Ma and Dell'arca. Magie Du Ma is making her stable debut in the Triumph hurdle at 1.30pm. There are 16 four year olds lining up and we are a big price in the Racing Post. Our filly won on very soft ground at Auteuil and has some very good form in France but this is a big ask for her first run in this country but we do like her a lot and Tom Scu rides. Dell'arca runs in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey's handicap hurdle with David Noonan on board. He has won on good ground but has been a bit disappointing in his last few runs. He is a former Greatwood hurdle winner however so if her can reproduce his best form he is not without an each way squeak. It looks a difficult day for our two runners but we are delighted to have got a winner on the board this week already.
