The stable has one runner this afternoon, former Royal Ascot and Cheltenham Festival winner Junior at Wetherby. Our ten year old produced a good effort when second at Huntingdon last time out and he looks feasibly treated from a mark only 1lb higher than his best winning mark. Conor O'Farrell gets on well with the top-weight, who has to concede upwards of 17lbs to his rivals today as he shoulders 11-12. I thought that Midnight Tuesday ran a decent enough race at Worcester last night, he seemed to drop away before staying on again in the closing stages to finish fourth in the handicap chase.

There are five meetings taking place this afternoon - three on the level at Southwell, Lingfield and Kemtpon and a couple of jumps cards at Huntingdon and Worcester. The stable has one runner at Worcester, Midnight Tuesday (pictured above) who will be ridden by Kieron Edgar who takes a handy 7lbs off his back. Midnight Tuesday looks reasonably treated on the pick of his form as he is 6lbs lower over fences compared with his current hurdles mark - he could run creditably with a clear round.

There are five meetings taking place today, four on the flat at Newcastle, Nottingham, Brighton and Pontefract as well as a jumps meeting at Towcester. The stable has three runners at Towcester - Garryleigh didn't run at Newton Abbot yesterday as the ground was a bit quick so if he takes his chance he should go well, especially with this stiff track likely to suit. Our other runners are Diamonds Return (pictured above) and Smooth Classic.

It was a good weekend for the yard with Prideofthecastle on the mark on his debut for the yard with a battling success in the bumper at Stratford. He was giving a stone in weight to the runner-up The Road Ahead, who gave our runner a good bump in the final fifty yards - the first three home all look to be decent prospects so this was doubtless a good performance under Tom Scudamore.

Keep the Cash
Today there are three meetings on, one on the flat at Ripon plus two jumps cards at Stratford and Market Rasen. Keep the Cash (Conor O'Farrell) and Milor De La Borie (Tom Scu) run in the 2.20pm first race at Stratford, a maiden hurdle. Keep the Cash was second in a bumper on his racecourse debut but then has been slightly disappointing in another bumper run and on his hurdling debut. He prefers the quicker ground so hopefully they will not get too much rain at the track. Milor De La Borie has improved steadily in three runs so lets just hope he keeps improving! Prideofthecastle is making his stable debut in the concluding Bumper. The winner of his only start so far a big run is expected with Tom Scu in the saddle.

Beautiful Morning at Pond House
It is a quiet day with no runners for Pond House but there are six meetings, four on the flat at Newbury, Newmarket, Doncaster and Thirsk and two jumps cards at Bangor and Uttoxeter. They are good cards at Newbury and Newmarket with a Group 1 at Newbury, the 3.50pm Lockinge. Aidan O'Brien comes over with Declaration of War who is unbeaten in his last three starts and son Joseph O'Brien rides. They also have two listed races at Newmarket so there is some great action on the TV to watch! David has three runners at Stratford tomorrow, Keep the Cash and Milor De La Borie in the maiden hurdle and Prideofthecastle in the the Bumper.. Check back here tomorrow for more news.

Decoy on the Gallops
David has two runners at Aintree this evening, Decoy and Problema Tic. Both look very competitive handicap hurdles with plenty of runners. Problema Tic has lots of ability and if everything drops into place he could run a big race. Decoy is returning from a little break hacing last run in the Cesarewitch on the flat at Newmarket in October. Tom Scu rides both horses and both should appreciate the good ground and we are hopeful they both will run okay. Aintree is the only jumps meeting of the day but there are four meetings on the flat at York, Newbury, Newmarket and Hamilton so lots of action to watch!
