There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with three jumps fixtures from Sandown, Exeter and Sedgefield (who need to pass an early morning inspection) as well as a flat card at Wolverhampton. The stable run Fingertips in the 1.00pm at Sandown and he will be ridden by Daryl Jacob. Meanwhile Tom Scudamore is at Exeter for the mount on Solomn Grundy who makes his debut for the stable in the 2.15pm race - a National Hunt novices' hurdle.

The stable enjoyed a nice winner yesterday when Bella sprang something of a surprise when popping up at 25/1 in the mares' handicap hurdle. Sadly I did not back her - she only seems to win valuable races, this one being worth £12,346 to the winner. Maybe the break has done her some good? You know what fillies can be like! It is some training performance from David to have won in excess of £37,000 with her this season. Meanwhile, Skylander also performed with credit to finish third although he is still 8lbs above his highest winning mark.

Today there are four meetings taking place with two jumps fixtures from Ludlow and Catterick as well as a couple of flat cards from Lingfield and Kempton. The stable has three runners at Ludlow this afternoon; Bella, Skylander and My Brother Sylvest. All are forecast to go off at relatively long odds although Bella won a £25,000 contest earlier in the season and is only 1lb higher than for that effort - she has a couple of disappointing efforts to overcome. Skylander has won his share of races this term including over fences at Hexham and this step up in trip should suit him. Meanwhile man of the moment David Noonan is aboard My Brother Sylvest and takes 5lbs off his back - he is an admirable horse, although all six of his wins have come on good ground or faster and he remains 5lbs higher than his best winning mark.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Lingfield and Southwell as well as an all-weather flat fixture from Wolverhampton. David runs Mozo and Bladoun at Lingfield. Mozo (pictured above) was the ready winner of a heavy ground bumper at Uttoxeter last season so should certainly appreciate underfoot conditions, while Bladoun still looks to be in the grip of the handicapper. He did win from a rating of 100 last term although he remains 12lbs above that mark today.

How much flour or pastry would you be able to buy with £18,766 prize money?! That is the dilemma facing lucky owners Gordon and Sue this morning after their admirable ten year old Houston Dynimo won at Leicester yesterday under man of the moment David Noonan. The jockey said that the low weight helped so not only is he an up and coming jockey, he can read as well! (P.S. being diabetic, not too much sugar in my cake thanks Sue!)

There are two meetings taking place this afternoon with action from Carlisle and Leicester. David has one runner at Leicester as recent Wincanton winner Houston Dynimo takes in the 2m6f veterans' chase at 2.00pm. Our spritely ten year old remains in good form and hardly ever runs a bad race. This season's leading amateur jockey David Noonan takes the ride and he claims a very handy 5lbs off his back.

The stable enjoyed a nice winner yesterday afternoon as Champers On Ice won the novices' hurdle at Newbury under Tom Scudamore. He will need to brush up his jumping a bit as he steps up in class but this was still a nice performance nevertheless with several promising types well beaten in behind and he looks like a most promising individual. One thing is for sure, I bet there wasn't much champers left after the race!
