She’s very quick and very honest but not the biggest. I’d have preferred to find a better race for her with less weight to carry but you can’t get into the better races right now. She’s very fit and very well and it’s great to have her back.

She’s been ready to run for two months and I just hope we haven’t missed the boat with her. She was a natural from a very early stage, back in February and March, and we’ve just been ticking over with her since. She seems to try very hard.

2.30 Yarmouth – Ginger Max

He’s a horse who goes well at home. He’s big and raw with a high cruising speed and would be very well handicapped on some of his work at home. He hasn’t translated it to the track and I hope he starts to do that here, we’ve kept him going in the hope he might. He had a wind operation since he last ran.

She’s just had a few niggly little problems, nothing serious, and is going well now. She’s ready to run but I’m not sure what her trip is at the moment so we’re still learning with her.

4.30 Kempton – Dubai Acclaim

He’s in good form, I’m very happy with him. He might just be a touch better for the run but I’m hoping he goes well.

She ended up being a bit disappointing last year as she’s a filly who shows plenty at home. She’s very fit and this is a big day for her to see whether she’s going to go forward again. We’re happy enough with her work at home.

5.25 Yarmouth – Internationaltiger

He’s in grand form right now. He’s a late maturing type of horse who’s going to get better with age. The late start to the season hasn’t done him any harm and I’m very happy with him.

6.00 Yarmouth – Pacino

I don’t know if a straight track suits him as he usually runs at Chester but he’s ready to start out and has gone well fresh in in the past.
