There are two meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Lingfield and Sedgefield while the all-weather flat fixture from Southwell has been lost to the elements...how ironic is that? I guess they should rename it 'most weather racing'. David has one runner this afternoon as he saddles Daklondike in the novices' hurdle at Lingfield at 1.30pm. Our former Irish point-to-point winner will stay the trip well and the trainer seems to have found a race in which he has solid claims. He is a chaser in the making but has already done more than enough to suggest he will be winning over hurdles at some point. Tom Scudamore is in the saddle.

We have three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps action from Kempton and Ludlow as well as an all-weather flat card from Chelmsford City. David has one runner today as Iniciar contests the two mile conditional jockeys handicap hurdle at Kempton at 3.40pm. He has top weight to carry of 11-12 owing to his easy win at Worcester last time although conditional jockey David Noonan takes a handy 3lbs off his back. He will need to improve to land this from a 12lbs higher mark but he has a progressive profile so that is not out of the question. Meanwhile stable jockey Tom Scudamore has picked up three outside rides at Ludlow and he looks to have some reasonable chances.

Today we have just two cards to look forward to but at least they are over the sticks with the action coming from Exeter and Huntingdon. David has a couple of entries at Exeter with Abracadabra Sivola (pictured above) contesting the three mile chase at 1.20pm and Nice Thoughts in the conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at 4.00pm. Abracadabra was successful on his debut for the stable last season and has to defy top weight on his reappearance, Tom Scudamore is in the saddle. David Noonan takes the ride aboard Nice Thoughts and he has some decent placed form to his name, although he was a little disappointing last time out.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Ascot, Haydock and Huntingdon as well as an all-weather flat card from Lingfield. Tom Scudamore heads over to Ascot where he has picked up a few spare rides, while our other jockeys Conor O'Farrell and David Noonan head over to Huntingdon. There is an excellent card at Haydock featuring the Betfair Chase and Fixed Brush Hurdle with Coneygree and Cue Card facing off in the former. Cue Card should hold a fitness advantage having had an outing three weeks ago - I was watching the racing from Haydock yesterday and they were kicking up plenty of water so the ground is going to be very testing this afternoon.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps fixtures from Ascot, Haydock and Ffos Las as well as an all-weather flat card from Newcastle. David runs Alternatif in the 3.20pm race at Ascot, a three mile handicap chase. He has finished fourth on his last couple of starts and is back below his last winning mark, the ground will suit and he appears to hold leading claims under stable jockey Tom Scudamore. Over at Ffos Las David runs Mango Cap (pictured above) in the 2.55pm race, a 2m6f handicap hurdle. He won at Perth over three miles on his penultimate start and is only 4lbs higher today, less conditional jockey David Noonan's 3lbs claim - he also looks to have a sound chance.

There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Market Rasen and Wincanton while there are two all-weather flat cards at Newcastle and Chelmsford City. David does not have any runners this afternoon but stable jockey Tom Scudamore travels to Market Rasen where he has picked up three outside rides and he looks to have some reasonable chances.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with the action coming from Warwick, Chepstow and Kempton. David has runners at Chepstow and Warwick with Sweettoothtommy, The Two Amigos, Carqalin, Cafe de Paris and Gary Charm. Sweettoothtommy contests the 13 runner novices' hurdle at Chepstow at 12.50pm - he had some decent form in Irish point-to-points and has each way claims at odds of around 14/1. The Two Amigos goes in the other division and his chance looks to be more obvious with our Irish point-to-point winner certainly capable of better than he showed at Newton Abbot last time. Carqalin, Gary Charm and Cafe de Paris would all have to improve upon recent form and are fairly big prices.
