Friday 12 April

Smart Exit is fine this morning - and Stuart is on the mend. Stu was patched up, glued and paper stitched last night (with not too long a wait) and will not be riding for a week or two.Smart Exit will continue in training for about 3 weeks as there are a couple of nice opportunities for him after that if the ground is suitable,if the ground comes up too quick he will head off on his holidays.The ground has gone for Benefit Cut on Sunday, so he will not be taking up his hasty entry in their newly added fixture. He has a very low ballot for his run in Kempton on Tuesday and it looks as though he will struggle to get in so we will keep looking for a good ground Novice/Maiden hurdle for him going forward. Tannerman will be back on track in about 3 weeks.
