Tuesday 19 January

There is one more piece of the jigsaw that still has to be put in place before Bobby Gee becomes an intended runner in Market Rasen at the weekend. He was scoped yesterday, and the scope was clean, and he has worked well this morning - all that has to be done is schooling tomorrow, and then if all is well he could take his chance on Sunday. Jardin De Vienne is entered at the Lincolnshire venue as well, and has been entered for a 0-110 handicap at Lingfield on Monday also. We will see which of his entries look more winnable. Il Duce is entered at Ascot on Saturday. Galoshes has a couple of entries over the weekend as well, hopefully the enforced break has been beneficial and the horses are feeling fresh and well, and are over whatever was ailing them.
