Another Storm ran a very good race yesterday at Huntingdon to finish 2nd under top weight, giving over a stone to the winner.  The ground probably wasnt ideal for her but she continues to run well.  Dance Island goes to Newcastle tomorrow if it is on and we look forward to him running another good race.

An excellent win from Dance Island on Saturday at Warwick with a fantastic round of jumping for his first run over fences which bodes well for the future.  This was a fair novice chase and he beat some decent horses all with Cheltenham entries, hindsight is a great thing and perhaps we should have been entered too!  Handtheprizeover was a little unlucky as he was nearly brought down when going well, he will now be eligible for a handicap mark.  Shannons Firth ran a good race at Huntingdon on her second start and continues to improve.  Phare Isle ran well at Kempton and it wont be long before he gets himself in the frame.  Present Your Case unfortunately appears to be struggling again with her breathing, we will get this looked at and hopefully sorted as she is a lovely prospect.  Bibiana Bay goes to Lingfield on Wednesday.

Shannons Firth runs at Huntingdon tomorrow and should run well in what looks quite a competitive mare\'s bumper.  Phare Isle will run at Kempton on Friday, Handtheprizeover and Another Storm both have entries at Bangor on Friday and Dance Island has entries at Kempton, Warwick, Newbury and Plumpton.  Present Your Case and Estrica have entries at Hereford on Sunday.  Bibiana Bay has an entry at Lingfield on Saturday.  Weather permitting - a busy weekend ahead!

Dance Island ran a good race under top weight at Chepstow on Friday to finish 4th.  He will run over fences next.  Present Your Case was in the process of running a good race first time over hurdles at Leicester before making a mistake at the last and unseating her jockey, she is none the worse and will run at Hereford in a couple of weeks time.  Handtheprizeover again ran a good race and will definitely improve for the run as he had been held up in his work at home.  I am delighted to have been given the chance to train Parlesotho, she had just lost her way a little bit and hopefully the change of scenery will do the trick, it appears that she would prefer top of the ground so she will be out later in the spring.

Phare Isle ran another good race at Fakenham to finish 6th.  We will now wait and see what mark we are given by the handicapper.  Estrica was a little disappointing having improved on both her previous starts. Dance Island ran well at Wincanton on Saturday to finish 5th, although 2 miles 6 was probably a little too sharp around this track for him.  He will now go novice chasing.  Handtheprizeover will run at Leicester on Tuesday and possibly Present Your Case.

Summer Affair runs at Wolverhampton on Friday night and has a good each-way chance.  Estrica and Phare Isle may go to Fakenham on Monday if racing goes ahead.  Dance Island and Handtheprizeover have entries at Kempton on Saturday, but will depend on the weather and ballot marks as to whether they run.

Shannons Firth made a respectable debut at Huntingdon on Boxing Day finishing 4th in the bumper, she will have learnt a lot from this and I look forward to running her again soon.  Phare Isle ran well at Leicester and needs one more run for a handicap mark, he continues to progress in the right direction.  Everdon Brook and Bill\'s Reflection both got a little stuck in the gluey ground at Warwick on New Years Eve.  Bill\'s Reflection will now go hurdling and Everdon Brook will have a little break and will run again when the ground is more suitable.  Summer Affair runs at Southwell on Tuesday and Bibiana Bay will go to Lingfield on Wednesday.  The jumping runners are all subject to the weather!  Great to see Quantitiveeasing win at Newbury the other day as I purchased his half-brother in November and is for sale, lets hope he can follow in his footsteps! Happy New Year

Estrica, Bills\' Reflection and Shannons Firth all have entries on Boxing Day and will hopefully run, weather permitting!  Estrica is in at Market Rasen and I look forward to her running a good race as she has continued to improve this year.  Bill\'s Reflection will have one more run in a bumper before going hurdling and Shannons Firth will make her racecourse debut at Huntingdon, she is in good form and has been working well at home.

Present Your Case ran another good race at Ludlow last week to finish 4th.  She has now had four runs in bumpers and will go hurdling in the New Year.  Estrica ran a good race as well and just faded after the last, she has improved a lot this year and looks sure to pick up a little race somewhere.  Another Storm ran well up at Doncaster, but trainer error in running her back too soon and over a trip a little short, may have cost us a place.  Summer Affair made a satisfactory start over hurdles at Hereford, jumping well, but finding the ground a little too soft.

Phare Isle made an encouraging start to his hurdling career finishing 8th in quite a decent notive hurdle at Southwell, he was best of the newcomers.  Nothing to run this weekend.  Present Your Case will hopefully go to Ludlow on Thursday 10th, she is in good form and should run well.

Everdon Brook made a very encouraging start at Ludlow on Monday to finish 5th first time out in the bumper.  He travelled well for most of the race and just got a little tired inside the furlong pole, he will no doubt improve a lot from this experience and is one to follow.  Dance Island was disappointing yesterday at Chepstow, he seemed to be in very good form at home and I was expecting a very big run from him.  I had him scoped after the race and he has a throat infection which is easily treated and would explain his poor run.  I am sure he will come back to form in the near future.  Phare Isle is entered to run at Southwell on Tuesday 1st December.

The horses continue to be in good form and are all running well.  Present Your Case ran a great race at Hereford in the bumper and was only beaten 1/2 a length to finish 3rd, she looks to have a bright future.  Another Storm ran well at Ascot to finish 4th and has continued where she left off over 400 days ago and hopefully she can win a decent race this year.  Summer Affair finished 4th at Wolverhampton last night, and again ran well, and although he was a little unlucky to be stuck behind a wall of horses coming off the home bend, he ran on well.  Bill\'s Reflection made an encouraging start in the bumper at Towcester today to finish 6th.  Everdon Brook makes his racecourse debut at Ludlow tomorrow in the bumper and Dance Island is due to run this week at either Chepstow or Newbury.

Present Your Case runs at Hereford tomorrow in the bumper and she is in good form.  Another Storm should go to Ascot on Saturday.  Summer Affair goes to Wolverhampton on Saturday evening and Bill\'s Reflection will probably go to Towcester on Sunday.  Everdon Brook will go to Ludlow on Monday. Phare Isle made a satisfactory start to his season at Uttoxeter and continues to progress.  Estrica made a promising start to her season finishing 5th at Leicester on Monday and Edgfour finished her season with a good run at Folkestone yesterday, she has not been out of the money all year, and will now have a well deserved break.

Phare Isle goes to Uttoxeter tomorrow and has a good each-way chance in the bumper.  Summer Affair ran with credit to finish 3rd at Wolverhampton last friday and he could either run in a handicap on the flat or go over hurdles next.  Just spent the week in Ireland at the Tattersalls foal sales and have bought 4 smashing colt foals, hopefully stars of the future for the national hunt game.

A great day yesterday at Chepstow where Dance Island won the feature race in great style.  He looks to have improved considerably from last year and is a much stronger horse.  Hopefully he can continue this form and I will look for a suitable race for him, probably towards the end of the month.  Off to Wolverhampton tomorrow tonight with Summer Affair who I believe has a good each-way chance.  Another Storm is nearing her return to the racetrack and should be ready to run at Uttoxeter on the 14th November.

Handtheprizeover ran a very encouraging race at Huntingdon on Sunday first time over hurdles to finish 5th and will improve a lot for the run.  Supreme Team also ran a better race at Plumpton yesterday to finish a creditable 5th, jumping really well.  Dance Island goes to Chepstow tomorrow (Wednesday 4th) and is as fit as I can get him at home, but is a horse that usually needs a run to be fully tuned up.  Summer Affair will run at Wolverhampton on Friday evening, and will then be given a handicap mark.  Photos taken at our Open Day are now on the \'gallery\' so please take a look.

Summer Affair is in good form and may possibly run at Kempton on Thursday.  Ravine Rose will hopefully go to Ludlow on Thursday.  Supreme Team, Edgefour, Handtheprizeover, are all in at Fakenham on Friday and Dance Island is in at Aintree on Saturday.  A lot will depend upon the weather for the week ahead.

Edgefour ran a cracking race at Worcester on Thursday to finish 2nd and continues her good form of earlier in the summer.  Off to Windsor today with Bonnie Bea, looking for another promising run which will be her third run, she should be eligible for a handicap mark after this.  We had an excellent turn-out for our Open Day yesterday and the horses showed themselves off exceptionally well in the indoor school.  Looking forward to the coming weeks when the season gets going.

Ravine Rose ran another good race at Fontwell on Saturday to finish 3rd.  She continues to run well and hopefully is giving everyone in the syndicate lots of fun.  Edgefour, Supreme Team and Bonnie Bea are all entered to run this week and seem to be in good form.

Summer Affair ran a very promising race first time on the flat at Kempton last night to finish 4th, we would almost certainly have been 3rd if we had not been badly hampered on the home bend.  He has come out of the race well and may run again on the flat before the weather breaks.  Edgefour and Ravine Rose have both come out of their races well, there is a small chance Ravine Rose may go to Fontwell on Saturday, and the same applies to Supreme Team at Huntingdon on Sunday.

Ravine Rose ran a brave race yesterday to finish 4th.  She has done very well considering she has quite a bad breathing problem which I plan to rectify over the winter.  Edgefour had a good blow out at Kempton last night which should set her up nicely to run at Worcester on the 8th October.  Summer Affair may go to Kempton next Wednesday as there appears to be no rain forecast.

Bonnie Bea ran a good race on her seasonal debut at Wolverhampton to finish 4th.  She needs one more run for a handicap mark and I hope she will continue to improve.  Edgefour goes to Kempton on Thursday evening to run on the flat, a warm up race before she runs back over hurdles.  We may also take this option with Summer Affair who may run at Kempton next week, unless the heavens open.  Four new horses arrived in this morning and we look forward to training them. Glad to read in the Racing Post today that Paul Webber has high hopes for Time For Rupert, a horse he purchased at the breeze up sales that had been prepared by us.  I have two more smashing horses for this years Cheltenham Breeze Up.

Bonnie Bea will go to Wolverhampton on Thursday 17th September for her second run.  She has been improving all the time and we hope for a respectable run.  Summer Affair is ready to run but will require some rain and Edgefour may have one run on the flat, but the main aim is to run at Worcester on the 8th October.  The youngsters that have been broken-in at Tom Lacey's are doing well and will arrive back here next week.

Ravine Rose ran another good race yesterday to finish 5th at Hereford and although she is of limited ability she has a big heart and could do ok next summer when she will be a little stronger.  Supreme Team ran a respectable race at Huntingdon on ground a little quick for him and he will go novice chasing next.  Our annual Owners Open Day is on Sunday 11th October which we are looking forward to.  Anyone interested in attending please contact me for further information.

Supreme Team runs at Huntingdon tomorrow, after being a little unlucky at Newton Abbot last week when slipping up on the bend, we hope for a better run and he has an each-way chance.  Ravine Rose is likely to run at Hereford on Wednesday 2nd September, and has come out of her Stratford race well.  Bonnie Bea and Summer Affair continue to work well and are getting closer to running.  Edgefour is back in full work after her mini-break and should be ready to run in a few weeks time.

Ravine Rose ran a much better race at Stratford to pick up a little bit of prize money finishing 5th.  She will run again at Hereford on the 2nd September.  A very long day at Newton Abbot yesterday where Supreme Team followed a few others and slipped up on the bend.  Horse and jockey are both ok and he may run again at Huntingdon on the 31st August.  Watch The Master runs at Southwell on Tuesday.

There is a small chance that Ravine Rose could run again at Stratford on Thursday 20th August and Supreme Team goes to Newton Abbot on Saturday 22nd August.  Summer Affair and Bonnie Bea are both getting closer to running and have been working well of late.

Ravine Rose runs tonight at Stratford having her first run over hurdles, if she stays the trip she would have a little each-way chance.  Watch The Master is a possible for Lingfield on Saturday and Supreme Team will go to Newton Abbot on Saturday 22nd August.  Most of the winter horses are back in and have all done well for their summer break and we have lots to look forward to.

Ravine Rose should go to Stratford next Thursday to have her first run over hurdles and Watch The Master should run at Chepstow also on Thursday as long as the ground is not too soft.  Supreme Team may possibly run at Southwell next weekend.  Thats An Honour sustained a very nasty cut on his hind leg at Bangor on Friday evening and is still being looked after by the vets in Cheshire.  We hope he will return here on Friday.

That's An Honour runs at Bangor today, he has a good each-way chance but will need to jump better than he has done of late.  Supreme Team ran another good race at Uttoxeter to finish 5th carrying a lot of weight, I am sure there is a race to be won with him.  Watch The Master has come out of his race well and should be ready to run in a handicap in a week/10 days time.

Supreme Team goes to Uttoxeter this evening and has an each-way chance.  Watch The Master, although beaten quite a long way in a hot Newmarket maiden, ran well for a long way before getting tired, he will improve a lot for the run.  Handtheprizeover, Estrica, Present Your Case and Shannons Firth are all due back in this week.

Edgefour ran another great race to finish 3rd in a competetive handicap hurdle at Worcester, she has not been out of the money on all her starts this season.  She will now have a short break and return to full training with an autumn campaign in mind.  Thats An Honour was a little disappointing at Southwell and continues to frustrate as he has plenty of ability. Watch The Master is due to run at Windsor on Monday evening and also Ravine Rose. Lots going on with the youngsters being broken-in and horses due to come back from their summer holiday in the next week or so.

Edgefour is likely to run at Worcester on Wednesday 8th July, she is in very good form.  That's An Honour was again a little unlucky in his last race at Worcester when making a bad mistake 5 from home and was unable to get back into the race after this, he still managed to finish 5th.  He is in to run at Southwell on Sunday.

Thats An Honour will run at Worcester on Wednesday.  He is in good form and should run well.  Edgefour ran another good race at Hereford on Sunday to finish 5th, although I am sure she would have finished in the first three but for pulling both her front shoes off and coming back with a punctured sole.  She was quite lame afterwards but luckily seems to be not too bad this morning.  Leanonleo is obvioulsy not a racehorse and does not want to be!  I will find a new home for him.

Leanonleo is entered to run at Worcester on Wednesday 17th June and Edgefour has been entered to run at Hereford on Sunday 21st June.  That's An Honour schooled well last week and will be aimed to run at Market Rasen on the 26th June.  Please have a look at Edgefour winning at Uttoxeter on the 'gallery'.

Have been away for a week on a family holiday so a little late with updating our weekly news.  That's An Honour an unlucky loser at Towcester last Friday, falling at the last on his chase debut when 8 lengths clear!  Supreme Team and Leanonleo go to Worcester today.  Supreme Team has an each-way chance.

Edgefour won again yesterday at Uttoxeter, staying on gamely after the last to win in determined fashion. She really has improved this year.  She will have a short break now and hopefully will be ready to run again in the middle of June.  Dance Island, Supreme Team and Thats An Honour are all entered to run at Southwell on Wednesday, we will wait to see what the weather brings before I make a decision.  Thats An Honour is also in at Towcester on Friday.

Weekend runners ran very well.  Dance Island ran a good race to finish 3rd at Aintree and we may give him one more run if the weather stays in his favour.  The two bumper horses, Present Your Case and Handtheprizeover both ran races full of promise to finish 6th in their respective races.  They will both now have a summer break.  Edgefour could possibly run at Stratford or Uttoxeter at the weekend.  That's An Honour and Supreme Team both schooled well over fences this morning and they should be ready to run next week.

Supreme Team was a shade dissappointing at Plumpton on Sunday but fear the ground was just a bit too quick for him.  There is a small possibility that he may run again this Sunday at either Fakenham or Market Rasen, also entries for this week are Edgefour and Dance Island at Aintree, Present Your Case at Uttoxeter, Bangor, or Market Rasen, Handtheprizeover at Uttoxeter and Thats An Honour at Fakenham.

Having been forced to run Edgefour back after being put up 15lbs by the handicapper for her win at Southwell, she ran another good race at Fakenham to finish 2nd and bar a last flight blunder may just have held on!  Supreme Team goes to Plumpton with a good chance on Sunday, as does Present Your Case in the bumper at Uttoxeter.

We are all delighted with Edgefours win at Southwell yesterday.  She has obviously improved from her break and does look a much stronger individual this year.  It is great to start the new season off with a winner and may the next one not be too far away!  Estrica goes to Hereford today with an each-way chance in the 2.20.

Leaonleo ran in a strong 4 year-old hurdle race at Ludlow yesterday and we did not expect any more than a nice run round.  He jumped well and a further step up in trip and two more runs more likely to be in national hunt maiden hurdles will see him improve.  Siryena was a little disappointing at Brighton yesterday, although excuses were a falsly run race and the ground a little too quick.  She is in foal to Piccolo and will now be retired to the paddocks.  That's An Honour did not jump well at Market Rasen on Saturday and continues to run very in and out races.  He seems to be fine after his run and we will make a plan for him in the next few days.  Runners this week will be Edgefour at Southwell on Wednesday and she should run well and Estrica at Hereford on Thursday, she continues to improve.

Supreme Team ran an excellent race at Southwell finishing 3rd after 164 days off the track, it should not be long before he is in the winners enclosure!  That's An Honour goes to Market Rasen on Saturday and should run well.  Leanonleo has his first run over hurdles at Ludlow on Sunday and Siryena returns to Brighton on Sunday, the scene of her win in August.

Present Your Case ran a very good race at Cheltenham on Thursday to finish 2nd first time out in the mare's bumper.  She has come out of the race well, although I am very tempted to run her in the Bewleys bumper at Punchestown, we have decided not to take on the Irish just yet!  Edgefour is declared to run at Towcester tomorrow evening, she is in good form and has done well physically during her winter break. Supreme Team is likely to run at Southwell on Wednesday and Leanonleo is likely to go to Chepstow on Friday.

Dance Island has been declared to run at Cheltenham tomorrow but will only run if the forecast rain arrives and Present Your Case is entered to run in the mares bumper on Thursday.  That's An Honour was running a good race at Newton Abbot when being almost knocked over at the third last and unseating his jockey, I am sure he would have been in the first 3!  Estrica ran a better race at Towcester and jumped very well, she now qualifies for a handicap mark and I am sure she will continue to improve.  Deep Reflection ran a respectable race at Chepstow yesterday but found the ground had just gone a little too quick for him, anyone looking for a lovely hunter/point-to-pointer this is the horse you want - he is now for sale.

That's An Honour will probably run at Newton Abbot on Saturday 11th April, he is in good form and should run well.  Deep Reflection, Estrica, Siryena and Present Your Case are entered to run on Sunday and Monday and we are looking forward to having some luck over the Easter Bank Holiday!  Delighted to see Time For Rupert winning at Aintree as he was a horse I prepared for the Cheltenham Breeze-ups.

That's An Honour ran a better race at Towcester on Wednesday considering he didnt get the best of runs.  He seems to be coming back to himself and will be one to watch next time.  Dance Island was running a very good race at Towcester on Thursday before taking a heavy fall two from home.  He is improving all the time.  Estrica had her first run back since a breathing operation at Uttoxeter on Saturday and had a reasonable run, she will improve a lot for the race.  Only one possible runner this week, Present Your Case, at Market Rasen on Sunday in the bumper.

Leanonleo ran another solid race yesterday at Huntingdon to finish 4th in the bumper.  He may possibly have run better if he had had a little bit more daylight as Sam Jones said he was still very green amongst horses and once he was in the clear he finished strongly. He is currently for sale and will make a good fun horse for the future. Siryena was covered by Piccolo last night and hopefully she will be in foal.  That's An Honour and Dance Island should run at Towcester this week and Estrica will run at the weekend.

Deep Reflection ran at Fakenham on Friday 13th March finishing 3rd. Silver Sonnet ran at Southwell yesterday and although she ran better than last Sunday at Warwick she still wanted to hang left, nothing has come to light at the moment and she has come out of the race fine.  Leanonleo may run in a bumper at Stratford or Huntingdon at the weekend and Summer Affair is entered in a novice hurdle at Stratford on Saturday.

Dance Island ran very well on his first run in a handicap to finish 2nd at Warwick on Sunday lets hope he can go one better next time.  He will probably have 1 or 2 more runs this season before going over fences next season.  Gild The Lillie ran ok the experience will have done her good and she will have one run over hurdles towards the end of the month/beginning of April.  Silver Sonnet was pulled-up after Andrew Thornton felt that had knocked herself but thankfully she is perfectly ok and has been entered to run at Southwell on Sunday 15th March.  Deep Reflection should go to Fakenham on Friday 13th March.

I was delighted with Leanonleo and Phare Isle's debut runs.  Leanonleo ran a very promising 3rd at Huntingdon and Phare Isle ran a nice race at Stratford, although running a little green, he did well to finish mid-division.  That's An Honour was very disappointing at Doncaster and I don't appear to have any excuses other than he may have lost his confidence jumping.  We will give him a little break and plenty of schooling.  Gobejolly goes to Lingfield tomorrow and should have a good each-way chance.

I hope to run That's An Honour at Doncaster on Saturday.  He is in good form and I look forward to running him on some better ground.  Leanonleo will make his racecourse debut at Huntingdon on Sunday in the bumper.  Phare Isle will also make his racecourse debut at Stratford on Monday if he does not get balloted out.  Gild The Lillie and Silver Sonnet may both run at Warwick a week on Saturday.

Gobejolly ran well at Market Rasen to finish 4th and she should be able to pick up a little race in this grade.  Siryena ran ok at Wolverhampton in what was a competitive claimer.  We will now put her in foal to Piccalo and she will have a couple of runs after that. 
I was pleased to see Valley of the Dolls win at Southwell as she is a half-sister to a Yearling by Westerner that we have here for sale.  Time for Rupert runs today at Huntingdon, the horse that we sold at the Breeze-up sales.

Gobejolly runs at Market Rasen on Monday and should have an each-way chance.  Siryena will go to Wolverhampton on Tuesday.
That's An Honour ran at Sandown on Friday and would have run a respectable race but his jumping let him down.  He has come out of the race fine and we will work on his jumping and I am sure he is more than capable of winning races when the ground improves.
Deep Reflection and Gild The Lillie ran on Saturday both finishing 5th.  Gild The Lillie ran an encouraging race on her debut and will improve a lot for the run.  Deep Reflection ran a little flat but ran on well to finish 5th and has picked up some prize money.

Siryena was a little disappointing today at Kempton but she has to have things go her own way! 
I am waiting on the weather to make declarations for That's An Honour, Deep Reflection and Gild The Lillie for Friday. 
I was able to get away on Friday to Ireland to the Tattersalls February sale and have purchased two lovely yearling colts for re-sale.  A Flemensfirth and a Robin des Champs both with good pedigrees.  We also have some top quality national hunt youngstock for sale that will appear on the website soon.

Siryena will run at Kempton on the 11th February.  Deep Reflection will hopefully run at Fakenham on the 13th February along with Gild The Lillie.  That's An Honour may run at Sandown on the 13th February or on the 14th February at Ascot or Uttoxeter.

I was delighted to see that two of the horses I purchased to sell on both won last week.  Aqualung at Ludlow for Charlie Mann and Time For Rupert at Catterick for Paul Webber.  Both horses look to be future chasers.  We have several horses currently for sale that are sure to do well.
