Tuesday 24 February

Kikos is on the late shift at Leicester today, as he runs in the last. With 9 runners the race looks reasonable, and the better ground will certainly help him as he has just not enjoyed his last 2 runs on the soft ground. If Sam can get him in a rythmn and he jumps well he could run a decent race, but you can't be confident, as the track may not suit him. Around 30 members of the club will be there, so we will at least double the crowd!! Mattaking has 2 entries at the weekend - at Kempton on Saturday and Huntingdon on Sunday, the Kempton race is his grade but oddly looks to be a far more competitive heat than the better race at Huntingdon - we will look at entries and plot our next move. E Major looks likely to by-pass Ludlow on Thursday and run at the weekend, probably Huntingdon as this race can divide. He finally managed to school yesterday and did it well.
