There are two jumps meetings today at Southwell and Taunton and we have two runners at Southwell, Indulto Rouge and Purple Owl. Jack Tudor is on board both of our horses and Indulto Rouge runs in the bumper at 3.00pm and I see he is favourite. He has had just the two starts for us this season, finishing third in a bumper at Hereford and then finishing down the field in a listed event at Ascot before Christmas. That was behind the very good Bass Hunter who ran well in the Champion bumper at the Festival and the ground was too soft for our chap that day. He was impressive in winning his Irish point to point on quicker ground last year and will appreciate returning to today's surface. He has always worked very well at home and following wind surgery he has to go and do it on the track this afternoon. While ultimately bought as a staying chaser of the future he shows more than enough at home to be winning this race today so we will have to see what happens!

Ben Lilly runs Pointing Today
There are two jumps meetings today at Carlisle and Exeter and while we don't have any runners at the closest course to the yard, we do travel to Carlisle with one runner today! Penn Avenue runs in the 2.45pm handicap hurdle over 2m1f and Jack Tudor rides. Our four year old filly has been very consistent in recent starts and likes finishings third! She has a super attitude is very tough and always tries but things have not quite fallen right in her last few races and fingers crossed they might today. She jumps well and appears like she might stay further than 2 miles so will appreciate the stiff track. It looks a good opportunity for her to run well and I don't think she will be far away.

King Turgeon Runner at Newbury Today
We have two runners over jumps today and one on the flat. Show Your Hand and King Turgeon both run at Newbury with Jack Tudor on board and Green Sky runs on the flat at Southwell and Gina Mangan rides. Show Your Hand makes his racecourse debut in the valuable Goffs Bumper at 3.35pm. There are 20 runners, it is a competitive race and we are a big price. However, we like our little four year old and I think he will outrun his odds. He has been away for two racecourse gallops and gone nicely and has done everything we have asked of him. It is a big ask to run well on debut in this sort of race, it will be like his first day at school, but equally I would not be surprised if he were to put up a bold show. He is not the biggest but shows a good attitude at home and at about 50/1 he might be worth a very small each way interest.

Bashful Boy runs at Lingfield Today
There are two jumps meetings today at Newbury and Musselburgh and while we don't have any runners at these meetings, we do have Bashful Boy running on the flat at Lingfield. He runs in the opening staying apprentice handicap at 2.12pm and Jack Dace rides. There are only seven runners but it is a competitive looking race and we are about 15/2 in the betting. He has not won for a while but is admirably consistent and really deserves to get another victory to his name. We have tried various things to try and get that win by riding him differently and while I am not quite sure what the tactics will be today hopefully we may find the winning formula! He is a character and is probably nearing the end of his racing career so it would be great for one more win! The handicapper has given him a chance and with a bit of luck I hope we have a good each way chance in this.

October Hill runs at Ludlow Today
There are two jumps meetings today at Ludlow and Sedgefield and we have one runner, October Hill. We were due to have Walkadina running there as well but she is not quite right this morning and we have taken her out. October Hill runs in the opening race on the card, a mares maiden hurdle at 2.20pm over two miles and Jack Tudor rides. She drops drastically back in trip for this race, after she didn't stay three miles at Wincanton last time. We have always thought stamina was her forte but her best two runs have been over 2 miles and 2m3f at Taunton so I think she will like the track and the ground today. It is the first time Jack will be on board and it looks a good opportunity for her to get her head in front. She is a very consistent mare and has lots of places to her name but it would be fantastic to get that elusive first win beside her name. She is 6/5 favourite in the betting so let's hope that is correct! Thankfully Jack Tudor is okay this morning following a fall at Hereford yesterday. Riding for Christian Williams he had every chance of riding a winner and was upsides in front when a bad mistake at the last fence caused him to come off.

There are two jumps meetings today at Hereford and Huntingdon and while the stable does not have any runners, Jack Tudor is in action at Hereford. There is also a horse to watch at Huntingdon and hopefully a winner if you like short priced favourites, Carlton in the 4.15pm handicap hurdle. The James Owen gelding beat our very own Saccary last week at the track under a penalty and this looks a good opportunity for him to win again. There is no racing in Ireland today and just the one all-weather flat card over here at Kempton this evening.

Eton Mes runs at Exeter Today
There are two jumps meetings today at Exeter and Wetherby and we have three runners at the first mentioned, Shot Boii, Eton Mes and Allstitchedup. Shot Boii runs in the 2.20pm handicap hurdle over three miles and Rian Corcoran rides. He did finish second over fences at Wincanton earlier this season but his latest two efforts have not been very good. He has not seemed to enjoy jumping the larger obstacles of late so we are going over hurdles today at a track he likes, hoping this may spark a revival. He shows all his normal enthusiasm at home but of late, none on the racecourse! He is a horse I have always liked and I really do hope we see him a bit more like his old self today. He probably would prefer the ground a little softer than it is going to be but he is well handicapped on old form. He is a big price, about 25/1 and it will be a watching brief for me just hoping he enjoys it and runs well.
