    All looking very promising Archie - all the best with them.

    Change of plan. Torrent will now run on Monday at Roscommon. That will allow the currently suspended Patrick to take the ride.

    Torrent does indeed go today. We are quite hopeful.

    Airlie mentioned as an Auteuil possible:

    Nice run from Torrent Archie - looks like he bumped into one.

    Good luck today Roddy with Wadswick Court.

    Wadswick Court will be trying for his life as normal but it is a very tough race. Lets hope we start the season well

    My syndicate horses running this week

    Oliver's Gold 2.45 Kelso today - is in good form and should run well but not confident of winning.

    Cape Hideaway 2.05 Mkt Rasen - Friday - In great form and will be disappointed if he didn't go close.

    Cornborough 4.25 Nottingham - Saturday - Should run well if he gets in.

    A decent enough run. A couple of scruffy jumps didn't help but the winner looks very well handicapped

    Good that Wadswick Court hung on for 2nd

    Onwards and upwards

    We have a new addition to our syndicate - Magnolia Ridge 4.20 Sedgefield - not expecting much just hoping for a decent performance and hopefully he will do better when he goes chasing. There is a strong word for the Skelton horse but at 10/11 in a field this size that is stating the obvious.

    Best of luck going forward, both.

    Looks like Airlie will go to Auteuil on Saturday. In other news:
    Daydream Beach (Airlie's half sister) is in foal to Shantou.
    Bunk Off Early had a bout of colic but seems to be ok and should be back in autumn.
    Cadmium's stress fracture has scanned clear and we're excited for his return over fences in autumn.
    Torrent Des Mottes and Madurai should be out in the next few weeks.

    And right on cue, Willie decides not to send Airlie over after all. Glad I never booked a flight.

    Unlucky, Archie........though you should still consider going......Auteuil is a great day out, and the racing this weekend is top-drawer.

    If it's any consolation, you would have run into the freight-train that is Device. Now that he is being upped in trip, I'm expecting a demolition job.

    Roddy - good luck with Maul tomorrow.

    Archie - all the best with your runners.

    SC/ Quevega etc good luck with your runners in the coming weeks.

    I've been checking into the forum a lot less recently due to other things getting in the way and after reading another thread tonight I don't envisage staying involved much at all. Thank you to anyone who has given a steer on their runners. There has been some cracking days on this thread.

    We have Ladweb back in action tomorrow at Thirsk.
    With the weather coming in our favour and the small field we felt it was worth a go in the class 2 despite being out of the handicap.
    Hopefully we can at least nick some prize money.

    Alfa Wolf has had three starts already this season (disappointing the last twice) and goes at Prague again in a Class 3 1m race on Sunday. Always have a good jockey up and Jan Raja who's won on him before rides on Sunday.
