It is looking like a more balanced fixture list this afternoon with two meetings taking place on the level at Nottingham and Kempton, while there are two jumping cards taking place at Ludlow and Towcester - the stable has two runners at Ludlow; Massannie and Azza. Massannie has undoubted ability but hasn't been putting it to best use of late, while Azza (pictured above) returns to the larger obstacles in the novices' limited handicap chase over 2m4f. She is already a winner of this trip at Uttoxeter this season and is in receipt of weight from her rivals this afternoon. Tom Scudamore is in the saddle aboard both of our runners this afternoon.

There are four flat cards taking place this afternoon at Brighton, Catterick, Kempton and Leicester so I'm afraid if you are a fan of the jumps you are out of luck. Champion jockey Richard Hughes has five rides at Kempton while his title rival Ryan Moore has seven at Kempton as well as a further ride at Leicester. It looks like it is going to be a cracking finish to the flat season with Moore currently leading by just one winner - I thought that Ryan had given up on the championship...it would seem not.

Famousandfearless (pictured above) put up an improved performance to win the handicap chase at Uttoxeter yesterday afternoon over three miles. He jumped soundly and the step-up in trip certainly seemed to suit him well - I see no reason why he cannot continue to improve and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him complete the hat-trick over the coming weeks. Vazaro Delafayette finished fourth on his seasonal reappearance and he is entitled to come on for the outing, while the same comment could apply to Johnny McGeeney at Huntingdon.

Famousandfearless
Winner at Plumpton last time out
There are three meetings today, all of them over the sticks at Huntingdon, Kelso and Uttoxeter. I bet it must be frustrating for the jockeys at the moment. You can only ride at one meeting and yet some days in the week they have no jumps cards at all! I know I keep going on about it but, race planning! David has three runners. Johnny McGeeney runs in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Huntingdon with Conor O'Farrel on board. He is making his Pond House debut so it will be interesting to see how he gets on. We have two runners at Uttoxeter, Vazaro Delafayette and Famousandfearless and Tom Scu is on board both of these. Famousandfearless won last time out at Plumpton and has gone up five pounds for that win. This looks quite a competitive race for some decent prize money on offer so he will have to improve again to have a chance of winning this. This former point to point winner will appreciate the step up in distance and fingers crossed he can go well.

Today we have five meetings, four on the flat at Newmarket, Ascot, Redcar and Wolverhampton as well as a jumps card at Fontwell. Newmarket has £1,177,000.00 in prize money on offer with the Tattersalls two year old race worth £500,000. David does not have any runners today, but does have three tomorrow, Johnny McGeeney at Huntingdon and Vazaro Delafayette and Famousandfearless at Uttoxeter. If you finish even 10th in this race you can still get over £5,000! Richard Hughes is now in front of Ryan Moore in the Flat jockeys title race. Hughes says, "I know Ryan does not want to win it as much as I do". Someone should ask Ryan why he does not want to be champion jockey, can you imagine AP in the same position?

Last season's Betfair Fixed Brush hurdle winner Gevrey Chambertin (pictured above) put behind him his unfortunate experience over fences with success on his seasonal debut. The novices' chase from Bangor was a strange race with only three runners taking their chance and Gevrey looked to be in a bit of trouble between the last two - he picked up nicely thereafter to score a shade cosily and this experience will no doubt have done him the world of good. He has now won first time out for each of the last four seasons, although if you were the person who had £600 on to win £200 I would imagine that you had a few uncomfortable moments.

Today there are four meetings to look forward to with a flat card from Kempton and three jump meetings from Warwick, Bangor and Southwell. The stable has one runner this afternoon at Bangor as Betfair Fixed Brush Hurdle winner Gevrey Chambertin (pictured above) makes his seasonal debut over fences. If our six year old runs to his very best form he will take a good deal of beating over these larger obstacles under Tom Scudamore. Meanwhile, we run Bathwick Man (Kieron Edgar) and Lady Of Longstone (Conor O'Farrell) at Warwick.
