The good news this morning is that Kempton has already passed its morning check, racing goes ahead and we have two runners there.  Sirekoff and Neon Moon head to Kempton and Jack Tudor rides both.  Sirekoff runs in the 2.50pm handicap hurdle over 2m5f and it looks a competitive 15 runner field.  We are about 28/1 in the betting and it looks like we have it all to do.  He won on stable debut at Newton Abbot but has found things a little tough going in two runs since.  I think he may need a little help from the handicapper but I am sure he can return to winning ways soon.

   American Sniper runs at Doncaster Today

It is a cold and frosty start to the day at Pond House and our first lorry set off nice and early for racing at Doncaster this morning, where we have two runners.  There is now a 9.30am inspection however after he course failed it's 7.30am check following low temperatures at the track overnight.  Fingers crossed it will be on as we will nearly be there by then!  Skin Full runs in the opening race on the card, the conditional jockeys novices limited handicap hurdle over three miles at 1pm.  Ben Bromley rides and I see we are 11/4 second best in the betting.  This is the first time we have tried him over three miles and I think he will enjoy the better ground and galloping track today.  He has finished second in an Irish point to point so we know he stays and off a light weight today I would like to think he has a good chance.

There are two jumps meetings today at Ludlow and Sedgefield but the stable does not have any runners.  There is an all-weather flat card at Kempton while in Ireland they race at Fairyhouse.  It was a tough day at the offices for our runners at Taunton yesterday and we weren't able to grab any of the prize money but all horses have returned safe and sound and there will be other days for them.

       Activist runs at Taunton Today

There are two jumps meetings today at Taunton and Market Rasen and we have five runners at our most local track, Taunton.  We were due to have a couple more but unfortunately we have had to make both Jurancon and Seymourjohn non-runners in the opening novices hurdle.  That leaves us with debutant, Jaipaletemps as our sole representative in this race at 1.25pm and Jack Tudor switches to ride.  He is a three time chase winner in France and has plenty of placed form over hurdles and he was claimed by his owners after finishing third over hurdles last time out at Cagnes-Sur-Mer.  He has settled in well to life in England and goes well enough at home so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.  He has won over the distance of 2m3f and while he may prefer the ground a little softer it should be fine.  He probably has a bit to find with the principles in this race on ratings but we will learn a bit more about him this afternoon.

There are two jumps meetings to kick off the new week at Carlisle and Southwell today but the stable does not have any runners.  It is a busy day for jockey Jack Tudor however as he has five rides at Southwell.  Prince Cleni in the 1.40pm looks to be his best chance of a winner and is 6/4 in the betting.  There is one meeting on the flat at Wolverhampton and in Ireland they have a jumps card at Punchestown.
