Elfride found jumping fences in pretty horrible ground at Uttoxeter on Saturday a bit of a struggle and Toby Wynne quite rightly pulled her up. We will try her again over fences on better ground possibly at Worcester once racing resumes there. In the meantime she will return to hurdles and will aim for Warwick […]

We will give her some more experience over hurdles in the next few weeks and hopefully she will get her ground in the spring. Little Big Kev travelled and jumped […]

Willow Edge had a slightly raised temperature last night, probably due to her coming into season so we have decided to aim her at Market Rasen on Tuesday instead taking up her engagement at Wincanton today.

Travelling well in mid division, he stayed on nicely up the straight to be beaten nine lengths by the winner. His connections have been very patient with this handsome son of Jet Away and hopefully he looks a decent […]
