A busy week this week!

Nora Batty is having her 1st race after a little break at Chepstow this evening. If she can reproduce her all weather form on the grass she should do well.

Bukle heads to Haydock on Thursday for the 1st Nursery of this season. We hope the handicapper has given him a chance and not too many other horses have slipped under the radar in his ratings.

A nice local run to Newton Abbot on Friday with Dance, hopefully she’ll make amends for unseating her rider due to a collision around the bend, she appeared to be going well at the time.

Saturday, the gallant Taws goes for the Coral Marathon at Sandown. Unfortunately not as the name implies it is only 2 miles, this is a bit on the sharp side for her as at 2 miles she is only just warming up.

Master Carpenter has been entered in the Big Mile Handicap at Sandown but as he is ground dependent he may well wait for the John Smiths at York.
