There are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Ludlow and Newbury supported by a couple of all-weather flat meetings from Lingfield and Kempton. If you live up north and you like your racing, I'm afraid it is a case of hard luck today. David has runners at both jumps fixtures, It's Obvious and Warthog go to Newbury, while over at Ludlow we run Tis What It Is and The Draconian.

Hopefully, there will be three meetings taking place this afternoon. I say hopefully as Fakenham have to pass an early morning inspection ahead of their jumps fixture. There are no such problems at Catterick over the sticks or on the all-weather at Southwell. Let's hope that Fakenham do get the green light as David Noonan has picked up a couple of outside rides on the card, in fact he is probably on his way there now. There are no runners from the Pond House team today.

The staff are still getting over the terrible tragedy that occurred on Saturday at Cheltenham when we lost Starchitect to a freak incident. Being a Sunday many of the staff were not in yesterday, but with a full complement in today it is really beginning to hit home. He was a lovely horse who will be sadly missed. I saw his groom, Susie on Saturday night and she, like the rest of the team, was heartbroken. Looking at today's action, there are four meetings taking place with jumps fixtures from Ffos Las, Plumpton and Musselburgh (the last named needs to pass an 8.30am inspection), meanwhile there is an all-weather flat card from Wolverhampton.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps action from Southwell and Carlisle as well as an all-weather flat fixture from Chelmsford City. Hopefully Carlisle will have passed their inspection as David is due to have one runner; Saint John Henry who is engaged in the 3m2f handicap chase. If the track thaws out sufficiently, he will appreciate the testing conditions - let's hope that he goes well as he is Tom Scudamore's only ride of the day, a comment that also applies to David Noonan over at Southwell.

There are five meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps cards from Cheltenham, Doncaster and Hereford as well as all-weather flat fixtures from Newcastle and Wolverhampton. The stable has two runners at Cheltenham; Startchitect and Dell' Arca. Starchitect contests the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at 1.55pm in which the first five home from November's BetVictor Chase all reoppose today. Starchitect ran a cracker to finish a narrow runner-up to Splash Of Ginge that day and at the revised weights there should not be much between them again. He seems to go on any ground and looks to have a great chance under Tom Scudamore.

The good news is that Bangor have passed their early morning inspection and racing goes ahead meaning there are four meetings taking place this afternoon with jumps action from Cheltenham, Doncaster and Bangor over the sticks as well as an all-weather Chelmsford City. David has three runners at Cheltenham; Abracadabra Sivola, Champers On Ice (pictured above) and Taj Badalandabad (easier to write than say!), while The Draconian and Tis What It Is run at Bangor.

Following the abandonment of Warwick and Newcastle this morning, there are just two meetings taking place this afternoon with Taunton hosting a jumps card and Chelmsford City with their all-weather flat fixture. The card at Taunton looks to be a good one and features the rescheduled Peterborough Chase from Huntingdon's abandoned meeting of last week. David has plenty of runners at our local track; Friday Night Light, Miss Tynte, Tobacco Road (pictured above), Vaniteux and Midnight Magic.
