    Great stuff, Roddy.

    PS. Where are you basing yourself in Cheltenham these days. We went into the Mandarin on Tuesday to have a look for you, and your old perch is now a doorway!

    Yes I know this, very sad to miss you all. Got there Friday but my back is fucked. Using the arcequine on it now and hope it improves. Not ready to give up just yet and felt a lot better after Beggars Wishes. Rolling Maul should help as well on the weekend

    We have declared in the 5.00 instead. Softer the better for our boy. Just trying to sort out the jockey booking.

    Good luck bud
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Was there something amiss with Rolling Maul last run? Never looked to be travelling and from an outsider looking in he looks a difficult ride that maybe only Sean B can cajole into running to his best?

    Pre race drift was notable though so just wondering if there was more to it?

    Good luck with this weekends runners.

    The horse I have a share in over in the Czech Republic (Alfa Wolf) runs at Prague on Sunday.It looks a hot race so he has an apprentice taking weight off but has placed in similar races before so hopefully he runs well again.Martin

    Alfa Wolf finished 4th of 16 - very pleasing return to action and on the same day his stablemate Partyday finished runner-up in a listed race in Germany which is good for the yard too, Partyday won the Czech 1000 Guineas in 2016.

    Western Breeze runs tomorrow at Sedgefield (5.30) in a handicap hurdle. On her best form she would have every chance but in her last three races she has shown no enthusiasm at all.

    Oliver's Gold is almost certain to run on Sunday at Market Rasen

    Cornborough is entered for Pontefract on the 11th and is a likely runner.

    Cape Hideaway will either go to Market Rasen on the 17th or Redcar on the same day. He will be entered in both and go for whichever he has the best chance in.

    Royal Flute will run at Redcar on the 17th

    I see Western Breeze is a market mover overnight 18/1 to 6/1 in a place. I know she's been checked over by the vets and the trainer has been riding her out. She has worked better than for a long time but nothing that would make us confident of a big run. We are a big syndicate so it could be all the fivers and tenners each way. Lets see what happens?

    Best of luck, sc.

    I have a runner on Sunday at Tramore. Torrent Des Mottes is a stand-in for an injured horse and I'll have an interest in him for a few weeks. He should have made his debut at the 2015 Punchestown Festival but has had a series of setbacks. The fact that they persevered with him is encouraging but you never know until they run for real.
    The older I get the better I was.
