Activist Runs At Uttoxeter Today!
There are two jumps meetings today at Hexham and Uttoxeter and we have two runners at the latter meeting, Activist and Walk of the Roses. Uttoxeter is an evening meeting and Activist runs in the first race on their card, the 5.40pm novices hurdle over two miles and Jack Tudor rides. It is fair to say we were expecting better at Worcester last time on stabling and hurdling debut and so hopefully he can show more of his true colours this evening. He has won and been placed on the flat in France but was disappointing last time. We have taken the tongue strap off as we think he may not have ‘faced’ that and added cheek pieces today. I am not sure really what to expect today but we know he goes okay at home and so fingers crossed he can put in a good performance.

There are no runners for the stable today but there is jumps racing at Aintree and Fontwell this evening. There is also plenty of flat action as well with meetings at Sandown, Chepstow, York and Goodwood. In Ireland they have two meetings on the flat at Cork and Fairyhouse. There are not lots of runners at the jumps meetings tonight but there are enough in all of the races and racing looks competitive.

Myristica Winner at Newton Abbot
Myristica followed up her win at Southwell last time with another impressive victory at Newton Abbot yesterday under Jack Tudor. Her task was made somewhat easier by the departure of the second favourite three from home but she won as she should and she is a mare I like a lot. She had a look at the padded hurdles early on in the race but is a brilliant jumper and has an attitude to match. Both at home and on the racecourse she just wants to please you and there is plenty more to come from our five year old. She loves the quicker surface and has a high cruising speed. While I am not sure of exact plans going forwards I would think she is more than capable of winning another mares novice contest like this under a double penalty. She is likely to have a run back on the flat at some stage as well but has now won two of her three starts over hurdles (a little unlucky not to be three from three) and six races in her career from 29 starts at a pretty impressive strike rate.

Myristica Runs at Newton Abbot!
Today we have two runners at Newton Abbot, Myristica and Kolisi both ridden by Jack Tudor. Myristica has run well in three starts for the yard to date, on the flat at Newbury and then over hurdles at Worcester before winning impressively last time at Southwell. She runs in the 3.05pm mares novices hurdle over 2m1f and despite carrying a penalty I will be disappointed if she doesn’t win again. There are already two non-runners leaving a field of six in the race and there is only now one real danger in the race, Tique at the bottom of the weights who we do have to give quite a lot of weight away to. This filly is making her hurdling debut for Seamus Mullins having won a bumper at Bangor last month so she could be interesting but I will be disappointed if Myristica does not put her experience to good use and win. Our filly has a lot of natural ability and good attitude to match so fingers crossed she can be our sixth winner of the season.

There is no jumps racing in Britain today and therefore no runners from the stable. We do have two runners at Newton Abbot tomorrow so check back here in the morning for more news on those.

Lady Reset Runs at Windsor Today!
Today we have just the one runner on the flat, Lady Reset who runs in the 8.10pm handicap over 1m3f at Windsor and Laura Pearson rides. Our mare ran a cracker on seasonal comeback at Sandown to be fourth but did put in an extremely rare below par effort over hurdles last time at Warwick. She is the outsider of the field tonight because of that run but discount her at your peril. She is in good form at home and I am sure she can bounce back to her usual consistent self today. Laura Pearson gets on well with Lady Reset and even though this race is very competitive I hope she will not be too far away at an each way price.

Yggdrasil Runs at Bangor Today!
Today we have just the one runner, Yggdrasil at Bangor. Yggdrasil his making his stable debut in the 4.00pm handicap chase over 2m4f and Jack Tudor rides. He is a previous course and distance winner on good to soft ground and he should be fine on today’s good ground. There are seven runners contesting this good prize money race which is pretty competitive. Our six year old wears blinkers for the first time and runs off a mark of 116. He is a three time chase winner who has won off higher marks in the pass so I would like to think he has a good chance this afternoon.
