Wednesday (The real Wednesday) 13 December

Kaloci is entered in a Mares' Novices' Hurdle in Fakenham next Tuesday. She is in fine fettle and has schooled well. It looks a reasonably strong entry on paper, and she will probably need further in time, but she whizzed round the corners there so well last month, it makes it the right race to start in. Ciaran is obviously top of the list to ride. Cloonacool will be entered in Ludlow next Wednesday. We have shelved plans to run him over Fences, so he will not take up his entry in Fakenham next week and he will have just the one entry in the Lady Riders handicap hurdle in Ludlow. Molly Childers is heading to Cheltenham on Saturday. The snow has thawed, and it will be hard work in the last race of a 2 day fixture, but she should settle, and it will mean that they don't go stupidly fast, so the stamina test should suit.
