We have a runner at Bangor this afternoon in the 2:10, Aldrin takes his chance with Tom Scudamore in the saddle. Aldrin or Buzz as we call him ran a nice race on seasonal debut last time out finishing 3^rd. We were keen to run again before the National Hunt break kicks in from Monday, this race was the only real option.

Aldrin runs over 2m3f furlong today, he’ll have to prove he gets this far whilst the going is good / good to soft in places. Touch wood the trip is within reach.

I’ve not bothered with Goodwood this week, a meeting I can’t buy a winner at. There’s been some good racing, but I’ve done my conkers here many times over here, I've left it alone this time around.

It’s good to see William Buick back in the saddle at Newmarket tonight. Hopefully, Lazuli can give him a winner. The horse is decent and works well, I know Buick was keen to ride him.
