Twentytwo's Taken winning at Exeter
It was great to get Twentytwo's Taken to win for the second time over hurdles at Exeter yesterday. She won by seven lengths and looked to win with plenty in hand. She bounced back from a bit of a disappointing run at Plumpton last time but it looked like the penny had really dropped as she settled and jumped really well and it looks like there is more to come from this talented mare. Top Wood was third in the novice handicap chase and does need to brush up his jumping a bit but ran okay. Molo ran a good race to finish second in the mares handicap hurdle and she is sure to be winning again soon.

It was good to see the stable enjoy another nice winner when The Darling Boy rallied bravely to land the concluding handicap hurdle at Huntingdon under Tom Scudamore for his ever enthusiastic owners. He stayed on nicely to win at odds of 4/1 and in the process take us on to the 95 winner mark for the season.

This afternoon there are four meetings taking place with three jumps cards from Huntingdon, Musselburgh and Sedgefield as well as an all-weather flat card from Chelmsford City. The stable has one runner, The Darling Boy (pictured above) who competes in the 2m4 1/2f handicap hurdle at 4.55pm. Our ten year old has won four times, goes on any ground and is entitled to come on for his first start of the season at Towcester. Furthermore he has won a chase from this mark of 100 so is by no means unfeasibly weighted. Tom Scudamore is in the saddle and hopefully the pair will make the journey worthwhile.

There are four meetings to look forward to this afternoon with two jumps cards from Ludlow and Doncaster as well as all-weather flat fixtures from Lingfield and Kempton. The stable runs Skylander, Shoegazer and Rathlin Rose at Donny. Skylander (pictured above) has been in excellent form this season, winning twice in a bumper and a hurdle since joining the stable - if the handicapper is correct then he has It's A Sting and Lady Buttons ahead of us, but even so I fancy Skylander to run a big race. Rathlin Rose has won his last two starts in the manner of an improving horse and looks to have sound claims despite carrying topweight in a very competitive handicap hurdle, while Shoegazer would also have a chance if recapturing some of his old form in this veteran's chase.

There are three meetings taking place this afternoon with two jumps cards from Taunton and Wetherby as well as an all-weather flat fixture from Wolverhampton. The stable has two runners at our local track; Bella and Dell' Arca. Former Greatwood Hurdle winner Dell' Arca (pictured above) finished second last time out at Cheltenham and that was a good effort considering he was trying to concede 16lbs to the winner - this looks a bit easier, although Ibis du Rheu cost an absolute fortune and looks to be the principal danger.

What a great weekend for the yard with an across the card treble at Ascot and Haydock on Saturday. The form of our runners from the weekend reads 111F220F0 - not bad by any means! Ainsi Fideles (pictured above) and Unique de Cotte were most impressive at Ascot, both winning by six lengths and there are some shrewd judges that are tipping up Unique de Cotte to repeat the dose at the Cheltenham Festival. Meanwhile Bygones Sovereign managed to make all the opposing jockeys look silly for a second consecutive weekend by jumping out and making all despite a 13lbs rise in the weights under another fine ride from Michael Heard.

Today we have just two meetings taking place but at least they are both National Hunt fixtures from Ffos Las and Market Rasen. We have no runners so it is going to be a quiet day for the stable, although Tom Scudamore makes the long trip to Market Rasen for just one ride for his brother Michael. I wonder if the old theory will come to fruition? The saying goes that you should follow jockeys with just one ride at a meeting but I don't give it much credence - if they could get more than one ride at a meeting, I am sure they would!
