Kingofthewest runs today!
It is a quieter day for the stable today with just the one runner at Chesptow, Kingofthewest. He runs in the 3.45pm handicap chase over 2m3f and Harry Coben rides. Jack Tudor is unfortunately banned today so we have enlisted the services of Mr Cobden who is still trying to bridge the gap of winners between himself and Sean Bowen. Hopefully we can help him out with a winner but it has been a little while since our eight year old has won but he has been in good form in three starts over fences this term, finishing third at Taunton and fourth twice at Wincanton. He is a good jumper and at about 6/1 third best in the betting, hopefully he can run a big race.

Shot Boii runs today at Warwick!
It was great to have jump racing back yesterday and even though Fakenham was lost to the weather elements, Lingfield went ahead as planned with some good racing. The action continues today at Warwick and an extra meeting put on at Plumpton following the recent abandonments. We have one runner at Warwick, Shot Boii and two runners at Plumpton, Ben Lilly and Kauto Kawai. Only The Bold was declared at Plumpton but only in case Lingfield was called off yesterday so does not run.

Only The Bold runs at Lingfield Today
All being well, both jumps meetings go ahead at both Fakenham and Lingfield today and we have a runner at each! I do however write this in advance for a Sunday and both track were inspecting on Saturday afternoon with the possibility of inspecting again on Sunday morning so anything may have happened! While the inspections were due to frost the weather has now moved on and we have strong winds and rain brought about by Storm Isha – if it is not one thing it is another!

Unfortunately none of the intended jumps fixtures for today have beaten the weather and we are left with just the two all-weather fixtures in Britain at Lingfield and Wolverhampton. We do have one runner on the flat as well, Kintaro at Lingfield. He makes his stable debut in the 1.25pm handicap over 1m4f and Rob Hornby rides. He is a four year old who has only had six career starts and he has shown a good level of form without winning.

It is another blank day for jumps racing with both Lingfield and Market Rasen having been abandoned due to frozen conditions. We did have Ben Lilly and King Turgeon declared to run at Market Rasen but that was called off just before lunchtime yesterday, after the course had seemed fairly hopeful of racing for most of the week. We had our coldest night of the year so far on Wednesday evening at -8c at Pond House and it isn’t much warmer today! It was a lovely day however with the sun out but temperatures didn’t get to about 0c until midday and you definitely wouldn’t canter horses on the grass at present.

It is a blank day for jumps racing today with both Wincanton and Ludlow having already been called off and in Ireland Fairyhouse is also abandoned. There are two all-weather meetings at Chelmsford and Southwell but there are no runners from Pond House. The jumps card at Lingfield on Friday was called off after an 8.30am inspection yesterday and Market Rasen look later today ahead of their Friday fixture and prospects do not look that promising.
