This afternoon there are five meetings taking place with flat action from Haydock, Redcar and Newcastle as well as jumps action from Fakenham and Wincanton. There are small fields at Wincanton this afternoon and I can only imagine that the trainers are concerned about running their winter jumpers on a quickish surface (currently good/firm, firm in places). Stable jockey Tom Scudamore heads off to Fakenham for a couple of long-priced outside rides. I wonder how he advertises his car when he wants to sell it? 6 months old, 100,000 miles on the clock?!

It's a dreary start to the day, but there are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Brighton and Chelmsford City and jumps action from Carlisle and Uttoxeter. David has no runners today, although I see that stable jockey Tom Scudamore has picked up a couple of rides at Carlisle including Renenden for his younger brother Michael and he looks to have decent prospects.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Bath, Nottingham and Kempton as well as a jumps card from Wetherby. It is a blank day for the yard with no runners today, although stable jockey Tom Scudamore heads north for a couple of outside rides at Wetherby while conditional jockey David Noonan has also picked up an outside ride on the card. Let's hope it is worth their whiles, otherwise it could be a long journey back to the West Country.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with flat cards from Leicester, Musselburgh and Wolverhampton while there is a jumps card from Huntingdon. The star of the show yesterday at Salisbury was the John Gosden trained Crazy Horse who won the conditions' stakes in good style and he looks like one to follow over the coming few weeks. I had a few quid on him as well which always helps!

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.
