There are two jumps meetings taking place this afternoon and the stable has runners at both Carlisle and Huntingdon. Big Occasion and African Broadway (pictured above after winning at Wetherby) head up to Carlisle where they will be partnered by Tom Scudamore (who is developing a northern accent!) - they both look to be nice chasing prospects, although they will know they have been in a race. Carlisle is a very stiff track and when the going comes up soft, things can get very testing. Meanwhile Conor O'Farrell will be on duty at Huntingdon to partner My Brother Sylvest in the novices' chase.

The stable has three runners this afternoon at Ascot, Street Entertainer, War Singer and Matuhi. As you would expect from the Berkshire track, there is some very good prize money up for grabs and this has led to a very competitive day's racing. War Singer (pictured above) won last time out at Kelso and prior to that had some very good form on the flat in France - having now won over hurdles he looks like a good prospect and has crept into this handicap on 10-1. It is a fiercely competitive race but he looks to have a chance under Tom Scudamore, who will also be aboard Matuhi in the handicap chase. Matuhi has long threatened to win a nice race, so let's hope that he gets a bit of luck in running today. Conor O'Farrell takes the mount aboard our other runner Street Entertainer this afternoon.

The stable has runners at both of the jumps meetings this afternoon as we send Battle Group (pictured above) on the long trek up to Wetherby, while Take Over Sivola and Presenting William take his chance at Uttoxeter. Our northern jockey(!) Tom Scudamore takes the ride at Wetherby, while Conor O'Farrell does duty at Uttoxeter. They look to be very competitive contests so we will be hoping for the best.

Today there are four meetings taking place with two on the level at Lingfield and Kempton as well as two jumps meetings at Stratford and Hereford. The stable has a couple of runners in the hands and heels hurdle at Stratford - American Art who will be partnered by Tom Bellamy and Woodlark Island (pictured above) who will be ridden by Kieron Edgar.

This afternoon there are four meetings taking place, with three on the flat at Lingfield, Nottingham and Kempton as well as a jumps card at Haydock. Surprisingly, the lion's share of the prize money is at the jumps meeting - mind you, it is still a fair way behind our counterparts over in Ireland at Punchestown this afternoon.

*Taunton 3.00pm Businessmoney Judi N/R*
There are four meetings taking place this afternoon - three on the flat at Catterick, Yarmouth and Wolverhampton as well as a jumps card at our local track, Taunton. There is a competitive day's action at the Somerset track and with Businessmoney Judi now a non-participant we have three runners, Terfel's Toscar, Vertige Dore (pictured above) and Dukes Art. We had a couple of runners at Bangor yesterday - unfortunately Investissement fell three out . The winner of that race, Tominator was rated 100 on the flat and he looks to be a useful recruit to hurdling. Meanwhile Molly Oscar ran in snatches but did run on well in the closing stages to finish fourth, not beaten at all far - this former point winner may well benefit from a longer trip.

Royal Mile
It was a great weekend for the yard with three winners on Saturday and two more yesterday. Royal Mile won at Chepstow over three miles on his Pond House debut. He won off of a rating of 76 and looked to win with a bit in hand. Young Kieron Edgar gave our eight year old a great ride and this was his first success for his boss David. Kieron was champion novice point to point rider in the Devon and Cornwall area last season and that was his second career winner under rules, the first coming in a bumper at Exeter last season. He is a nice rider and is sure to ride plenty more winners in the future. Royal Mile is entered at Wetherby on Friday and he could well run with a penalty as it will be interesting to see what the handicapper does to him.
