Thursday 17 November

Two declarations today - The Fonz has been declared in a 2m 4f Novices Hurdle at Haydock tomorrow, he has 6 opponents, one of which, Super Duty, from the in form Donald McCain yard, looks like being a very nice prospect, so he will have it on to beat that one. E Major has been declared in the big 3m Handicap Hurdle (also at Haydock), on Saturday. Jimmy Macarthy rides both. Silver Wren will miss her engagement at Huntingdon on Saturday due to a poor scope, and a decision about Honeycreepers run at Towcester on Sunday will be made tomorrow (Ground). San Telm will be entered at Uttoxeter next week, as well as Smart Exit , who will have an entry in the 3m novice hurdle as well as one in the 2m 5f novice hurdle at Towcester the following Saturday.I am still in the process of trying to secure another 'Club' horse, but it is not easy to find the right thing for the right money! I have a couple of irons in the fire and should know about these by early next week.
