Ocean Heights runs at Haydock Today
We have our first runner of the week today, Ocean Heights runs on the flat at Sandown this evening. He runs in the opening contest on the card, the 5.45pm apprentice stakes over 1m2f and Jack Dace rides. He won two races in May over 1m4f and 1m2f and ran well to be placed twice afterwards also. He was disappointing at Kempton last time out but the wide draw and losing two front shoes were valid excuses. He ran well on this track and over this trip on the same card twelve months ago off a higher mark and I would like to think he has a good chance in this. The handicapper has given him a bit of help and our good young apprentice claims his valuable five pounds. He is 100/30 third best in the betting and fingers crossed he can give a good account.

There is a jumps meeting today at Worcester but the stable does not have any runners. There are three flat cards at Yarmouth, Doncaster and Sandown and in Ireland they race on the flat at Leopardstown and over jumps at Wexford. The fixture at Yarmouth is the first meeting of the 2025 racing League series. The seven race card will be shown live on ITV4 and Sky Sports Racing and while I am not necessarily a fan of the series I do believe we have to try different things to help promote our sport. The is the fifth series of the league and there are plenty of familiar faces involved as well as some new ones.

It will be an emotional day at Wolverhampton tonight as commentator Derek Thompson, aka Tommo will be calling his final race after a 60 year career. He first commentated on a point to point race aged 15 and became well known during his 28 year career with Channel 4 Racing. There are two races named in his honour this evening, including the final race on the card at 9pm, the 'Thanks for everything Tommo - Happy Retirement Handicap' which will be is final ever commentary.

Racing this week starts with three meetings on the flat at Ayr, Windsor and Beverley. There is a jumps card at Cartmel and in Ireland they have a flat fixture at Ballinrobe. The stable does not have any runners. We had some welcome rain over the weekend and lots of places around the country had some as well. We had 12mm over the weekend but Cartmel had 21mm yesterday and their going for today's meeting is soft, good to soft in places. They have lots of runners in all their races and it looks a competitive card. Beverley have had nearly 30mm of rain in the last few days and their going description today is heavy which will be a change for many of the flat horses as we have not had ground this testing for quite a while.
