There is jumps racing at Uttoxeter this afternoon but we do not have any runners. There is flat racing at Ascot, Thirsk, York, Chepstow and Newmarket and in Ireland they have two flat meetings at Cork and Down Royal. Yesterday Jet Smart was very disappointing at Worcester for no apparent reason.

Jet Smart Runs At Worcester Today!
There is a jumps meeting this afternoon at Worcester and we have one runner, Jet Smart who runs in the opening contest on the card, the 2m4f handicap chase at 2.20pm with Jack Tudor on board. Our five year old ran his best race to date last time at the track on chasing debut. That was over slightly further but I don’t see the drop in trip being too much of an inconvenience, we are just hoping the ground does not go too soft. I see he is second favourite in the betting behind the Peter Bowen trained favourite Judge Earle but I don’t think that one will like too much rain either. The favourite does have to shoulder a seven pound penalty for a win at Uttoxeter and has to carry 12st 7lb, he is the one to beat but I hope we can be the one to do it!

There is jumps racing at Southwell this afternoon but we do not have any runners. They don’t have the biggest field sizes for their races but even the smaller runner races are quite competitive. The leading jumps riders of the season so far are Sean Bowen, Brian Hughes and Harry Cobden and I think if you follow their rides this afternoon you are likely to have a winner or two!

The weather has certainly played its part in affecting sporting action over the weekend. There was due to be jumps racing at Cartmel today but it has been abandoned due to waterlogging. Two meetings were lost yesterday, on the flat at Redcar and in Ireland at Curragh. Fingers crossed the other meetings scheduled today should go ahead as planned but the stable does not have any runners. They race on the flat at Ayr, Beverley and Windsor. In Ireland, they have a flat fixture at Ballinrobe.

Myristica Runs At Market Rasen Today!
Today we have three runners at Market Rasen, Oceanline, Nibras Gold and Myristica. Oceanline runs in the opening handicap hurdle over 2m4f and Jack Tudor rides. There is very good prize money on offer for this 0-110 handicap hurdle and we just sneak in on top weight after being dropped for his comeback run at Uttoxeter last time. We were a little disappointed with his run last time as he appeared in great form at home beforehand. While we thought he may improve a little for that outing he did not finish as well as we expected and so blinkers go on for the first time this afternoon. He has only won the one hurdle race but possesses a fair amount of latent ability and a mark of 110 looks well within his scope given his flat form. This is a competitive affair but at 14/1 I would hope he has a good each way chance.
