Mr Le Philosophe runs this evening at Uttoxeter in the 7:10. It should be a lively night, an Abba tribute act plays after racing.Phil has run well in his two starts for us. We step up in trip by four furlongs this evening, mainly because there are no further races of this grade for the rest of the month.If Mr Le Philosophe stays the 2m4f, hopefully he can run another good race for his owners. &nb...

Back In The Bay runs this evening in the 8:10 at Worcester. Bay will try and follow up her win at Fakenham last time out. The switch to a bigger, more galloping track will be fine, whilst any rain that comes down won't do us any harm. Janworth is a winner without a penalty, was well clear at the last hurdle three days ago but took a tumble. A repeat of that could make her hard to be beat, hopefu...

Knights Affair runs in the first race at Newton Abbot today.Knights Affair won on debut for his owners, this means he carries a 7lb penalty in this Novice Hurdle, that's something not many horses do. We feel KA has improved again, on paper he'll have to, the Paul Nicholls horse looks well fancied whilst Chief Black Robe is smart over a fence, 120 rated horse.

Bona Fortuna ran a cracker on seasonal debut at York yesterday, finishing 5th, beaten just two lengths.His owners will have some big days out this season with Bono. A busy day ahead with four runners, two at Fakenham and two at Chelmsford. The jump horses are Howth & Light Dragoon. Each horse won last time out and seem in good form. Both of our runners are big horses and this would be the w...

Start of a busy weekend and no better place to kick off with a runner at York. Bona Fortuna makes his seasonal debut in the first race. The draw could be the problem for us, we don't have anywhere to go from stall 17. At York so far this season, the low numbers in sprints is where you needed to be. Bona will improve plenty for this run, it's a nice place to start, and hopefully he can show up we...

Mr Le Philosophe runs at Newton Abbot today. Phil as we call him ran well on debut for us at Warwick last week. We are running again quickly as this race looks to work whilst the handicapper has put Phil up a few pounds. Hopefully Mr Le Philosophe can show he's back to the horse he was in France.

Two runners today, jumps and flat. Mr Le Philosophe makes his debut for us and his owners at Warwick this afternoon.A good horse in France but showed nothing for previous connections, we purchased him for just under £2,500!He's a punt, we've changed a few things around and hope to some promise, plus a horse that's willing to try and race. Devasboy steps up in trip by a furlong at Brighton....

Light Dragoon bolted up last night for his owners at Fontwell by 16 lengths. The race perhaps fell to bits, but we don't worry about that. Our fourth winner in just over a week, credit to all our trainers. Two runners today, Nibras Gold at Newbury, then Only The Bold runs at Aintree. Nibras Gold won on debut for James Owen. We run again on the flat, a deeper race whilst very different conditions...

Light Dragoon makes his seasonal debut this evening in the 6:10 at Fontwell. Light Dragoon is the only horse in the race without a recent run, whilst this racecourse might not be ideal. Dragoon is a big lad, horses are on the turn a lot at Fontwell. He's in good form though and the yard is flying. A trappy race with support for plenty of the runners.It might take a bit of winning.

Machete Beach makes his hurdles debut in the first race at Plumpton today.A good flat horse that won twice from four starts. It's his first day at school and as per all horses running for the first time over hurdles, we are mainly after the horse to enjoy the experience. We've been pleased with Machete Beach at home, hopefully he can show promise.

Howth was very good at Market Rasen yesterday, he looked a natural on his first start over hurdles and translated his flat class to the jumps. He could be smart. Howth's win was our third of a brilliant week and gave us our 202 winner. Counsel runs in the last race at Ascot today. This will be his final run of the season. Counsel has had a good time of things, winning twice through the winter on...

A good day yesterday with Knights Affair winning on hurdles debut for his owners. Purchased for what looks a cheap 21,000gns, Knights Affair did it nicely, he'll improve plenty for the run. Buxted Reel also ran well, finishing third, the run was needed and just the job. We are racing again today at Market Rasen with Howth, who also makes his hurdles debut.Howth was a good horse on the flat for u...

Back In The Bay was very good at Fakenham and won well under an excellent front running ride by Alex Chadwick. She'll be a lovely mare to jump a fence next season. Knights Affair makes his hurdles debut at Huntingdon. A decent staying flat horse with plenty of size, Knights Affair works well, as you would hope with his flat rating. His jumping is ok, but he's far from 100% ready for today. Today...

Back In The Bay runs at Fakenham this afternoon in the Mares' Maiden Hurdle.Back In The Bay has improved for her first run of the season, she's in good from, but on paper it looks like we could all be running for second place behind the Skelton horse. It's not a big field, and we don't run away from one, so we'll give it a go and be positive on Bay.

Squeezebox makes his seasonal debut at Doncaster this evening in the 7:54.Squeezy is in really good form at home, he's not an easy horse to get fit though due to is size. The ground will also be on the lively side for him, but this race looks the ideal starting point.

Hedge Fund makes his debut for us and his owners today in the third race at Pontefract.The trip is a bit of a question mark, we start at 5f as it's easier to move up in trip then step back. Hedge Fund is the only horse in the race not to have run yet this season, he's a big strong horse and bound to improve for the outing, but he's done enough work at home. We'll learn plenty about him today. Ho...
