It is a very chilly start to the day here at Pond House with temperatures at -3c, a bit colder than I think we were forecast but there are no reported problems at either of today's two jumps meetings at Market Rasen and Wetherby. I do find it a little strange with race planning that both jumps meeting today are in the North, and the tracks cannot be a million miles from each other! There are three all-weather flat meetings at Southwell, Chelmsford and Newcastle while in Ireland there is an all-weather card at Dundalk. The stable does not have any runners today.

Today we head to Hereford with two runners and we are aiming to bookend the card with a runner in the first and a runner in the last races! Harley's Pride makes her hurdling debut in the 12.15pm novices hurdle over 2m3f and Jack Tudor rides. Our five year old finished fourth in a bumper in Ireland and then sixth for us at Southwell on her only start last season. She stayed on strongly to the line that day after initially getting outpaced and jockey Martin McIntyre had trouble pulling her up! Today looks a good starting point and while she may want further in time she has schooled well at home and it will be good to get her on the track. There is a couple of useful looking rivals in opposition today so it will be tough but it wouldn't be a total surprise if she could sneak into a place.

It is a busy jumps racing Monday with three meetings across the country at Kempton, Ludlow and Sedgefield. We have one runner, Parchment who runs in the opening race at Kempton, the 12.25pm juvenile hurdle and Jack Tudor rides. We are a short priced favourite for this race and even though he carries a penalty I think he can win. He is a horse we hold in high regard and it is good to get him started over here. He arrived over at Pond House earlier in the summer having won his only start in France over hurdles easily. We turned him away for a holiday and this is his first outing in Britain. He has an engine and a likeable attitude and while there are a couple of useful flat recruits in opposition today I hope he can put his hurdling experience to good use and show us all what he can do.

No Walkover Winner at Chepstow
It was a fantastic across the card double for the team yesterday with Neon Moon winning at Ascot and No Walkover winning at Chepstow. It was nearly a treble with Turenne just losing out in a photo finish up at Catterick and Vision De Maine also ran well to be third.

Vision De Maine Runs at Ascot Today
Today we have four runners spread across three different meetings providing the weather does not get in the way! There are no problems at either Ascot or Catterick where we will be represented by Turenne, Neon Moon and Vision De Maine. Chepstow must pass an 9am inspection (put back from 8am) because of the threat of frost and fingers crossed it does and we have No Walkover running the lucky last, the bumper.

Jaipaletemps Winner Again at Ffos Las
It was fantastic at Ffos Las yesterday, despite the cold weather, with Jaipaletemps and Rian Corcoran following up their recent course win with another victory and giving Rian his second winner as a professional jockey. Carrying a seven pound penalty didn't inconvenience our six year old, nor did the step up in trip and despite a stumble at the second last fence he came away to win comfortably in the end. There is a different sort of pressure when you are a short priced favourite and Rian gave him a lovely well judge ride, allowing the pace setters to go clear before gradually reeling them in. Rian said the horse didn't enjoy the ground yesterday which was much drier and holding than when he had won the time before so the wetter the better and we will look for another race in a few weeks time when the rain comes again!
