Shot Boii runs at Plumpton Today
Today we have one runner at Plumpton, Shot Boii ridden by Fergus Gillard. He runs in the 4.30pm handicap hurdle over three miles and is looking to bounce back after a rare below par effort last time at Newbury. That was run on really testing ground and he was in trouble from an early stage so I hope we can just put a line through that and he will show his true colours this afternoon. He has run well at the track before and this race represents a drop in grade from last time. He is about 7/1 third best in the betting and I think he has a good chance in the colours of William Frewen. Our six year old has won four of his thirteen career starts which is a pretty good record and I hope he can enhance his strike rate today.

Today we just have the one runner on the flat at Newbury, Myristica. She runs in the 4.55pm handicap over 1m2f with Oisin Murphy on board. She is a four time winner over this distance from 25 starts and makes her stable debut this afternoon after we bought her from the sales in the autumn. She would probably prefer the ground better than she will encounter today but she is in good form and we will find out a bit more about him this afternoon. She is a big price in a very competitive race with 18 runners. We have schooled her at home and she jumps well so we look forward to getting her out over hurdles soon but it will be good to see her in action later.

Texard Runs Today at Exeter!
Today we just have the one runner at Exeter this evening, Texard. We were due to have two but decided to make Vision De Maine a non-runner in the bumper with the course drying out. He is a lovely big four year old that we were hoping to get a run into before a summer holiday but David has now decided that will be it until the autumn for our Irish point to point winner.

There are no runner from the stable today but there is the second day of Cheltenham’s April meeting to look forward to this afternoon. It is a card for the girls with every race for the mares and fillies with some girl power in action! There is some good prize money on offer today and there are plenty of runners and competitive racing throughout. Panic Attack did have an entry but we decided against running her in the end and she is now off on her summer holidays.

Gwencily Berbas runs at Cheltenham today!
Today we just have the one runner at Cheltenham, Gwencily Berbas. He runs in the 2:40pm marathon handicap chase over 3m4f with Jack Tudor riding. Our veteran chaser was a winner at Exeter over 3m6f earlier this season and has finished third on his last two starts. It is a very competitive 20 runner affair and we are about a 16/1 chance. He may be 12 years of age but Gwen loves his racing and I think he will enjoy the hustle and bustle of today's big field. He is a strong traveller and I think the better ground will see him finish up the hill well. Whether that is good enough for him to win today I am not sure but i don't think he will be far away.

Today we have two runners on the flat at Lingfield, Pepsiwithacap and Talap and both will be ridden by Cieren Fallon. Pepsiwithacap runs in the 4.55pm fillies handicap over 1m2f. She was a good third at Wolverhampton on her stable debut last time over 1m4f and I don’t think the drop back in distance will inconvenience her too much. She seems to enjoy the all-weather and from only five career starts on the artificial surface she has won once and been placed three times. She seems to have come out of the race all fine from last time and I am sure she will give a good account again this afternoon. There are eight runners and she is about 8/1, fifth best in the betting.

Duc De Beauchene our 71st Winner!
It was great to record our 71st winner of the season yesterday thanks to Duc De Beauchene winning at Wincanton under Jack Tudor. It was Jack’s first ride on our gelding and he gave him a lovely positive ride and won a shade cosily. Duc is probably not quite the force of old but he has been very consistent of late and it was a deserved victory for the horse who has been a great servant to connections for many years. While he doesn’t hold an entry presently, I am sure he will be receiving one in the coming days in case the handicapper over reacts! Poseidon was very disappointing at Wincanton on Sunday finishing neared last than first. I didn’t actually get to watch the race and haven’t as yet heard the breakdown of the race but it is back to the drawing board with him.
