Counsel runs again this evening at Wolverhampton in the 5:30.We have to give this a go after winning just 3 days ago at Lingfield. This will be the last time Counsel can run in this grade, from tomorrow he'll be in 0-80 races. If the petrol tank has refilled in time, we'll find out. This looks a deeper race, but Counsel should run well if he's recovered.

Counsel won nicely at Lingfield on Friday, showing a nice turn of foot. He seems to be getting quicker and enjoys his sprinting. I've not checked, but they can't be many 5f winners by Frankel? Chepstow this afternoon with The Lord Maid in the 2:20. He last run at Doncaster can be ignored, it was a farce of a race with just 4 hurdles jumped from memory due to low sun.This is her first try at 3m, ...

We travel to Lingfield today with Counsel who runs in the 2:02 over five furlongs.It's a question mark if this is the correct trip for Counsel, but it's something we've got to try. In two runs this AW season, Counsel has shown a lot of pace and looked to enjoy being let loose. He stayed 1m2f in the past, it's a little strange he might want this type of trip now. We'll find out if he's got the sp...

Dibble Decker runs at Ludlow today in the 3:45. Dibble finally gets a run, he's been declared 3 times before today, but the meeting was abandoned each time.A competitive race, Superbolt is in v good form whilst the drop in trip for Pepe Le Moko looks ideal, he looks to have a v good chance. Dibble Decker must give weight to all his rivals, he's in good form though and always gives his running.

Disco is well, will enjoy the track and ground and can hopefully run a nice race. Finn Lough looks the worthy favourite. It will then be a dash to Southwell for the 6:45 and Counsel over the six furlongs.We have a rott...

We have a runner at Southwell this evening in the last race at 8:30. Devasboy runs over a mile with Fred Larson in the saddle. This is Devasboy second start for us, he ran well on debut finishing 4th. A repeat of that effort and with luck in running, is a hold up horse, Devasboy can hopefully run well again in what looks a competitive race for the grade.

Happy New Year, I hope you had a lovely evening and 2025 is great for you and the family. We start with a runner at Southwell, Jack Hoola runs in the last race.The going will be a total unknown for us, whilst more will be required to be competitive in this race. Jack Hoola has been really green so far, this is surprising as he finished second in an Irish P2P race. The penny is starting to drop a...

Jackstell runs in the first race at Lingfield today, 2m3f Maiden Hurdle. Jack ran a lovely race on debut for his owners, finishing second behind a smart one. The step-up in trip will help him today, but the Olly Murphy horse on paper looks to have achieved more. He's the one to beat.

We are at Southwell this evening for an evening of flat racing under the lights.Two sets of owners will be coming along with Elegant Call in the 6:45 then Counsel 7:15. This will be Elegant Call's last run before holidays. She wants to be on turf and running through the summer months, but we needed to get a couple of runs into her after a stop start season. Elegant Call will strip fitter this ev...

Only The Bold makes his seasonal debut at Ludlow today in the 2:35.Bold has a bit to prove, hopefully the change of scenery might have helped, and touch wood his body is still able. He'll likely either run a nice race or not so much, we'll see how it goes, a flip of a coin outing.

First runner of the week today at Southwell, Let's Sail Away run in the last race.LSA will have a lot of lead in the saddle and lumps 12 stone. It would require a big effort to take this with that weight. He's a work in progress horse and still very green. Let's Sail Away is fit as a flea though and can hopefully run a fair race. He'll be seen at his best once jumping a fence.

Walden runs at Leicester today in the 2:15. A step into the unknown for us and Walden who has been ready to run for a few weeks.The going is heavy, and we have no idea at all if he will handle such conditions. Walden is fit and well, if he can get through the mud, he'll run a nice race, but it's an if.

Jackstell makes his debut for owners this afternoon at Huntingdon in the 1:23. We are taking on what was the best British bumper horse of last year, Horaces Pearl.Jackstell does everything right at home, and will be a nice horse. However, we are likely playing second fiddle today.

The Lord Maid makes her seasonal debut this afternoon at Warwick in the 1:53. She's a lovely mare, very straight forward and works well. She will improve plenty for today, whilst carries a lot of weight against the race fit favourite. Hopefully she can run nicely, but this isn't her big day in the sun.

Lingfield today with two runners, both making their debuts for Mick Appleby. Devasboy is first up in the 12:40. Debut for us today after purchased cheaply from the sales.Devasboy will give owners plenty of fun through the winter and into the spring. He works well, and we think he's in a good place. Sure to improve plenty for today, whilst we've left the normal headgear off, he normally wears. E...

We have our first runner for a while today at Wetherby, Ballydisco runs in the last race at 3:20. The trip of 3 miles around here might just be on the sharp side for Disco, especially on nice ground.He's very well though, and we have some nice staying races lined up for him a little later in the season over 3.5m plus trips.
