Damp and drizzly, farm stays sodden, identical story up and down the nation. Our busy New 12 months racing interval continues with two runners at Musselburgh tomorrow. The going at Musselburgh is prone to be largely tender and our first runner is Not The Chablis within the 12:10. I anticipated him to run nicely over C&D however his leaping was erratic within the early levels and he by no means actually received concerned. It is a related race and if he will get into a greater rhythm he may play an element as he’s nicely handicapped. Joe Williamson rides and eight run.

A strong day at Ayr on Tuesday made memorable by a recreation win within the function handicap chase from Up Helly Aa King on the age of 13.
Up Helly Aa King – a real warrior on the age of 13 and nonetheless as enthusiastic as ever. It’s a complete pleasure to coach a traditional staying chaser with as a lot coronary heart as he has.
We had been additionally delighted with Travail D’Orfevre, greater than dealing with the step up in school to complete second, and Wakool filling the identical spot underneath high weight. Hombre De Guerra ran nicely to be third on floor that was too tender for him. Fortunate Soldier improved to complete fifth however nonetheless must brush up his leaping. The race got here too quickly for Beat The Retreat and Skiddaw ran inexplicably poorly.
