Having been winnerless since early December the yard’s kind was starting to come back beneath the highlight (by me greater than anybody else) so it was a aid to see the horses run effectively. There isn’t any doubt we did have just a few disappointments subsequent to the very chilly climate in mid December however I feel these may all be attributed to extraeneous cirucmstances within the type of journey/floor/journey and so forth, we do have a few horses coughing however no multiple would count on within the depths of winter.
Other than the winner at Newcastle it was significantly pleasing for our first runner of the season within the far South to run so effectively, I believed he was given an exceptionally mature trip by our younger conditional Bruce who got here of age on the large stage – effectively carried out.

First up is Not in Kansas within the mares novice hurdle at 1.10, she’s been arduous to coach thus far this season and has simply come collectively so 2m 4f could show a bit far for her at this stage, she’s a stunning mare with a superb pedigree so simply be nice to lastly have her again on the monitor for this hurdling debut – 7 run and Bruce rides.
