Best of luck Digger.

Doubly represented at Newton Abbot tomorrow.

Shantou Magic runs in the Intermediate Chase. He's a few pounds wrong at the weights with the top two, but in his favour he runs well fresh and the yard couldn't be in better form.

New acquisition Our Reward goes in the Bumper. Was given a high rating of 91 for winning his point in Ireland, has been working well and we would expect him to win a bumper before he goes hurdling. Whether it's this one remains to be seen.

Best of luck with them, Michael, and home safe.

[Colin Phillips]

Same here.

Best of luck Roddy & Michael

Hope Getty pulls through Digger.

[Digger]

Best of luck guys.

Getty continues to make good progress. His meds have been reduced to minimum, and he has started eating and drinking small amounts. We just need to hope that everything internally kicks in properly. Why did i not buy a hamster!

[Diamond Geezer]

Thanks for update Digger, sounds promising.

[trudij]

That's fantastic that he's so keen so quickly, here's hoping that his insides do their bit now

[DanB88]

Digger- sorry to hear about Getty's illness. Fingers crossed he can continue his recovery.

Michael and Roddy - good luck with your runners.

"Dream Horse " (irish Field thinks so anyway ) Apache Gold returns to Limerick tomorrow 3.15
Connor King has one of his last rides in an Apprentice Handicap.
Drawn 4, once ground not holding/sticky or gluey he should be thereabouts again with luck.
I shall be at a wedding in Wexford. Such is life.

Good luck !

Leckhampton Road will be looking for a quick double at Limerick because one of our Cheltenham housemates owns a leg of Emperor Bob, which will be running in the 3.45 race straight after Apache's.

Encouraged by the performance of both horses. Shantou Magic was leading a high-class field at the 3rd last after which he started to tire and clouted the next fence. The stuffing was knocked out of him and Will Kennedy just eased him home after that. Bar the mistake he could well have been 3rd. He learnt a lot today, will come on for the race & will jump better next time.

Our Reward had the perfect introduction, wasn't knocked about and once the penny dropped two furlongs out he ran on resolutely to finish 3rd. Brendan's first words were "a definite winner next time".

[trudij]

Sounds great Michael - onwards and upwards

[DanB88]

Nice performances from all over the last couple of days. Michael, The Apache gang and Roddy.

Well done all.

[Roddy Owen]

Really thrilled by Buchaill Allain and Pearl Swan. I can see both winning next time. Oh for another100 metres

[Desert Orchid]

Buchaill Allain looked a wee bit unlucky. Arguably should have won. Winner stole it to some extent. Unlucky, Roddy.

[trudij]

Fingers crossed for them - good start !!!
