A giant weekend for the yard with for runners at Cheltenham’s Christmas Assembly, one at Doncaster on Saturday and a pair of or 3 at Carlisle on Sunday. We begin at Cheltenham tomorrow the place the bottom is gentle and our first runner is Ginger Mail within the 1.15, it’s a very aggressive 2 mile handicap hurdle however the type of his shut 2nd final time has labored out nicely and he appears in good order so the timing feels proper to boost our sights with him. He’s carrying a visor for the primary time, Danny rides and 14 run.

Our grand old-timer Up Helly Aa King then runs within the Veterans Chase at 2.25, he’s been able to run for a month now and repeatedly thwarted by the climate which hasn’t been preferrred however he should be match and has been very a lot on prime of his sport at dwelling, he received’t thoughts the drop again in journey so can hopefully run with credit score, 9 run and Danny rides as Bruce is sadly suspended for the day.

While the chances are we’ll come dwelling empty handed it’s a privilige to be competing at this degree, what I discover notably satisfying is that the mixture price of our 4 Cheltenham runners was £64k, a fraction of what the massive yards will spend on one particular person horse; this demonstrates the distinctiveness of horseracing in that with slightly luck any Group can compete on the prime degree. Financially it could really feel slightly like Raith Rovers taking up Manchester Metropolis however measured when it comes to talent, dedication and dedication to the trigger, we worry no foe! Dwelling secure everybody please. Extra re Sunday at Carlisle when now we have ultimate runners, aspiring to be busy at Musselburgh on Monday and once more at Ayr on Wednesday (an additional fixture – hurrah!), yesterday at Carlisle Travail d’Orfevre put up a really strong effort to complete 2nd conceding 26lb to the winner.
