A high-quality heat autumn morning, a bit uninteresting now; an unusually quiet spell of climate resulting in dry situations and watering at Hexham, Kelso, Carlisle and Ayr – most uncommon. A splendid win for Mack the Man at Ayr on Saturday, battling again gamely underneath a powerful drive from Package having been headed on the final – delighted! Additionally very happy with a superb 2nd from Donny Boy, a really encouraging 4th from My Kiwi Lady on steady debut and likewise from Scalloway Bay on chasing debut, Jirko additionally put up a stable effort within the novice hurdle however sadly Wakool failed to fireside once more regardless of all our efforts.
On to Hexham tomorrow the place we have now 4 declared runners on floor that I very a lot hope might be on the delicate aspect of excellent.
First up is Gipsy Lee Rose within the Conditionals Chase at 1.02pm – she gained her final begin within the spring and has run very properly over course and distance so if she will resume the place she left off she may run an enormous race as she stays properly handicapped based mostly on her earlier type – Bruce rides and 9 run.
Ballyfort then makes a fast reappearance for his chasing debut within the 2.45, it is a aggressive little race and while a transparent spherical would be the primary precedence I do assume he’ll enhance for the bigger obstacles – Bruce rides and 5 run.
We run Skiddaw within the 3.20, he has an enormous weight however it’s a modest contest and we’ve at all times thought lots of him at house – Bruce rides and 9 run.
Lastly we run Boolamore Basic within the 3.55, he ran OK on handicap debut over course and distance within the spring and I’d hope he can step ahead from that tomorrow although he’s a really arduous horse to learn at house and I wouldn’t be stunned if he wants the run – Danny rides and 12 run.
Quick floor in November is at all times un-nerving for Trainers and the general public may be unsympathetic at occasions. We’re keener than anybody to get our horses out however should proceed with warning; sadly we have now 4 horses at the moment out of motion with minor strains to their tendons, they’ve one factor in widespread – all of them ran on good and/or watered floor in Could, two on the identical day. Not one of the horses that we prevented these situations with have any points so if we deem the bottom too quick at any of the upcoming conferences we must err on the aspect of warning and withdraw. I very a lot hope that gained’t be the case.
