Wednesday 9 April

being forced to miss Aintree with Dawn Commander was a real blow - but I am thrilled to report that he is 100% back on track. he was given an easy time to enable him to get over whatever was ailing him, and it seems to have worked!! He was scoped last week and was 100% clean, so Stuart let him stride on yesterday, and he felt a million dollars. He was scoped this morning and was once again 100% - so now all roads lead to Chepstow on Friday 25 April. Maypole Lass is another who appears in rude health, and she makes the trip to Ludlow tomorrow to take on 8 opponents in their Mares Novice Hurdle. Jamie Moore rides and she could run a very big race as she gets a really big pull in the weights with her nearest rivals!
