After passing an 8am inspection I am pleased to report that Exeter goes ahead with their meeting this evening, meaning that there are four meetings taking place. As well as the Devon track, there is also action from Fakenham, Catterick and Southwell. We have three runners at Exeter's evening meeting - Standing Ovation, Water Garden and The Grey Fox. The Grey Fox is a nicely bred mare that is making her racecourse debut this evening at the age of seven - the owner is also the breeder and he can be a little tricky. In the past he has even told David how to train his horses. I hope The Grey Fox runs well to keep the owner happy, by the way the owner is MCP!

It is quite a quiet afternoon on the domestic racing front for a Bank Holiday Monday with just three flat cards on today and a good meeting from the Curragh in Ireland. The only jumps meeting is also in the Emerald Isle and that takes place at Down Royal. A Bank Holiday and no jump racing in England - what is going on?! It is unsurpising therefore that we have no runners today.

The stable has one runner on the level this afternoon at Salisbury. Enfant de Lune takes in the 2.20pm race and it looks like a wide open handicap (as it should be for the decent prize money of £20,000 that is up for grabs). While underfoot conditions may find one or two of these out, trip and ground should suit our horse who is fit from a successful stint over hurdles this winter. I think that Seb Sanders is a good jockey booking and I am looking forward to seeing how our runner gets on.

There are plenty of meetings taking place this afternoon with four flat meetings at Newmarket, Doncaster, Goodwood and Thirsk as well as two jumps cards at Uttoxeter and Hexham. We have one runner, Decoy taking part in Uttoxeter's 4.10pm race. He was successful at Cheltenham earlier in the season but has a couple of disappointing runs to overcome. Tom Scudamore is in the saddle.

Our good start to the new season continued yesterday as our only runner at Hereford, Shoegazer won on his chase debut. His jumping improved as the race went on, winning with a fair bit in hand under Tom Scudamore and he looks to be the type to follow-up before too long. Tom only had two rides at the meeting but went on to ride a double when landing The Chazer in the last race... a first and last race double - I wonder what he did in between races?!

There is plenty of racing action on this afternoon with flat cards at Musselburgh, Lingfield and Brighton and a jumps card at Hereford. The stable has a runner at Hereford as 137-rated hurdler Shoegazer contests his first start over the larger obstacles in the novices' chase. He has schooled well at home and let's hope that he provides a nice winner for our stable sponsors Wayne and Sarah Clifford of Bathwick Tyres.
