Friday 24 January

Colebrooke decided that yesterday was not a going day and was pulled up in Fakenham. He is struggling with the handicapper for sure - a problem that has blighted his career, but it yesterday went wrong as soon as he made his first mistake. He will have one more chance - either over hurdles or fences and we will see what happens. Today San Telm goes to Huntingdon. Decleared both there and Doncaster, we get to go to the Cambridgeshire track as they have passed their inspection. He is well weighted, and the ground should not be a problem, the biggest threat is the 3m 2f trip! If he stays he will run very well - he's in great form and will enjoy hurdling more than his recent spell over fences! I can't wait until tomorrow as I will get to see Dawn Commander do a piece of proper work for the first time - the reports have been glowing!! Smart Exit has come out of his race in great order - taking a fierce grip on his first canter back yesterday - he pulled 20 lengths clear of his companions - he is full of himself!!
