There are two jumps meetings this Monday at Plumpton and Musselburgh, but the stable does not have any runners. David Noonan travels to Sussex for a few rides while our conditional Gearoid Harney also has a ride there. The first race goes off at 12:40pm while the Musselburgh card gets underway at 12:25pm. There is one flat meeting this evening at Wolverhampton, the first race is at 5pm and there is no racing in Ireland today.

There are no runners from the stable today but there are two jumps meetings at Carlisle and Southwell. Thankfully the weather is a lot better for Carlisle today than it was for their last meeting as even though the meeting went ahead, there was a lot of travel disruption caused by snow and there were a lot of non-runners and therefore non exciting races on the day. There are no problems this time around however and they have some competitive races on their seven race card.

It is a quieter day for the stable today with just the one runner, Rebel Angel at Cheltenham. She runs in the opening race on the card at 12.05pm, the listed juvenile hurdle at Jack Tudor rides. Unfortunately for us, this race it quite a bit tougher than the one she was due to run in at Warwick on Thursday that was abandoned. Our filly is a six time flat winner and ran okay on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month. She has schooled well at home and has a lovely attitude but this looks quite a hot contest. We are about 20/1 in the betting but we have to start somewhere and I am sure she will run with credit and get some good experience under her belt.

Kepagge runs today at Leicester.
Today we have three runners, two at Leicester and one more locally at Exeter. Kepagge and Royal Mer travel to Leicestershire and were on the road early this morning while it is a little later leave for Lock Out who heads to Exeter. Kepagge runs for the second time over fences in the 1.35pm novices handicap chase over 2m4f and Jack Tudor rides. He is a previous course winner over hurdles and will enjoy the testing conditions this afternoon. He ran well enough on chasing debut last time at Ffos Las and has come on for that run. There are only five runners but it is a tricky little contest and they all have a chance. I wouldn’t swap our fella however and hope he can run well at 9/2.

King Turgeon one of our
4 runners today!
Today we have four runners at Wincanton, a meeting put on by the BHA after all the recent abandonments in recent days due to the weather. Our quartet of runners is made up of Lady Balko, King Turgeon, Sizing Pottsie and Kingofthewest. Lady Balko runs in the opening contest on the card, a novices hurdle over two miles at 12.45pm with Jack Tudor riding. Our mare is an Irish point to point winner who has ran okay in two similar races to today so far. It is a big runner field and she may struggle to get involved with the principals in this but she will at least get a handicap mark and is probably more for the future rather than today.
