Today we have four meetings taking place with the first day of the Cesarewitch fixture at Newmarket, while there is also action on the level from York and Newcastle and a jumps card at Newton Abbot. Once again Newcastle should be embarrassed about offering only £39,000 for their eight race card, while Newton Abbot have over £100,000 in prize money for their seven race...well done to everybody at Newton Abbot, once again a fine example of how a small track should be run.

There are two flat meetings taking place this afternoon with action from Ayr and Chelmsford City but more importantly there are a couple of jumps fixtures from Exeter and Hereford...yes, Hereford. It is the first meeting to be held there since the track was closed down four years ago and I am sure that it is going to be well attended and a welcome addition back onto the calendar. Not only that, they also have the most prize money on offer today with a healthy £50,000 up for grabs. David has three runners this afternoon with Houston Dynimo participating in the 3.30pm race at Exeter and Daklondike and Purple 'N Gold (pictured above) in the 2.00pm and 4.15pm races at Hereford respectively.

Following a blank day over the sticks yesterday it is good to see that race planning have restored a bit of balance today with two flat meetings from Nottingham and Kempton and a couple of jumps fixtures from Ludlow and Towcester. David has one runner this afternoon as Chic Theatre contests the 1m7 1/2f handicap hurdle at Towcester at 3.50pm. He was a winner on good ground at Doncaster last season and our six year old looks to have decent claims from a mark of 120 under stable jockey Tom Scudamore.

Today we have four meetings taking place and they are all on the level with the action coming from Leicester, Catterick, Brighton and Kempton. I think we will shame Brighton today who have a bumper eight race fixture yet are offering a miserly £36,000 in prize money across the entire card. With no jump racing taking place,David unsurprisingly does not have any runners this afternoon.

This afternoon there are three meetings taking place with flat action from Pontefract and Windsor while Southwell provides the entertainment over the sticks. Awesome Tunes finished fourth at Kelso yesterday afternoon on his fourth start over fences under rules. He made a few errors which certainly didn't help and was a little surprising considering he was a good winner of a point-to-point in Ireland. He will have learned plenty from the experience and I am sure he will get plenty more practice over fences at home and should be up to winning something similar. Meanwhile, Unanimite finished fourth at Uttoxeter, not beaten very far and he looks as though he will be winning as well, although he may prefer better ground.

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.
