Bashful Boy runs on the flat at Nottingham
There are two jumps meetings today at Ludlow and Fontwell, the stable does not have any runners at either of these two places but we do have a runner on the flat today, Bashful Boy at Nottingham, ground permitting. He is due to run in the 2m2f handicap at 3pm with Rob Hornby on board but we are just a little worried about the ground being too soft so we will see what happens. They had 8.6mm of rain overnight turning the ground to soft, heavy in places with a bit more rain forecast before the start time of his race.

We have two runners today at Worcester, Order of the Dance and Harry Junior. They run in the final two races on the card, in the 2 divisions of the 2m4f handicap hurdle. Callum Pritchard claiming five pounds rides Order of the Dance in the 4.20pm. He is running with a seven pound penalty after his win at Ffos Las last week on stable debut and as long as the run doesn't come too soon I think he will take all the beating. He was impressive in victory last week and with today's jockey's claim it means he is only two pounds higher than for that win the other day and it will be the last time he can run in this grade of race. The track and ground should suit and he is currently 9/4 favourite for the race. It is obviously a shame for our young conditional jockey Rian Corcoran that he is missing out on the ride on Order of the Dance today. He is out of action at the moment following a fall at Newton Abbot on Saturday but is on the mend and hopefully will be back soon.

Lynne Webb Birthday Celebrations
There are two jumps meetings today at Kempton and Sedgefield but with the ground fairly quick at both places, there are not very big field sizes at either fixture. Racing gets underway at Kempton at 1.46pm and this novices handicap hurdle has the biggest field size of any jumps race on the day with nine runners! The rest of the races have six or less at Kempton while at Sedgefield that is their maximum field size for there seven race card. It is a bit sad to see at this time of year when the jumps action should be in full flow but as we know with the lack of any significant rain in a long time, there is not much we can do about it. The stable does not have any runners today and we are keeping everything cross that some rain arrives soon.

Lock Out runs at Newton Abbot Today
We have one runner today, Lock Out in the 2.54pm conditional jockeys handicap chase at Newton Abbot and Rian Corcoran rides. This is is first run back from a break and he tends to go well fresh so fingers crossed he can do that today! There are six runners in the race and we are 3/1 second favourite. Newton Abbot is probably a sharp enough track for him but he did run well around Hereford last season and he will like the ground. Rian claims his valuable ten pounds again and that will hopefully make all the difference.

Order of the Dance - Winner at Ffos Las
Order of the Dance made all to make a winning stable debut at Ffos Las yesterday. Jack Tudor dictated things from the front and our five year old was spring heeled at every hurdle and had his ears pricked the whole way round. Quickening the pace from jumping the third last hurdle he began to get his rivals in trouble and he gradually extended clear to win quite comfortably in the end. This was our geldings first career win after he finished runner up in Ireland on three occasions so it was a great start to life in Britain. We do have him entered at Worcester next week to possibly run under a penalty but we will see how he is in the coming days and find out what the handicapper is likely to raise him for this success.
