Monday 4 March

Brett The Vet was in this morning to scope a few, and the results were all positive. Tannerman and Benefit Cut were as clean as a whistle, so Tannerman has entries in Chepstow (Saturday) and Market Rasen and Warwick on Sunday. Benefit Cut is entered in Market Rasen on Sunday. Benefit Cut has to run in another novice/maiden hurdle before the handicapper will give him a mark. San Telm was also clean, so he will start to do some proper work this week and should be ready to run from March 16th onwards. Colebrook is now improving after his jab and his work this week will tell us where we are with him. Smart Exit will be targeted at a race on March 26th in Fontwell. Norse Wren runs this afternoon in Southwell - the better ground will be a big plus. Ogee and The Fonz were both a shade disappointing on Saturday but both seem OK and live to fight another day!
