    Too soon for Puppy but Ruby will be back
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Forfeit stage on Thursday. The Hurdle changes shape completely if Wicklow Brave comes out.

    If Willie will withdraw all his others and JP does the same, we'd just about get a run with Shanning.

    If Patrick's Park gets in..............

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    Rain yesterday has eased the going to Good (NH) and Yielding (Flat). 15-20mm more predicted before Monday.

    Forfeits for the Plate:

    'Yielding (NH) and Soft (Flat) following 11mm of rain overnight. Further 2-3mm of racing expected prior to racing and turning dry and breezy for racing later. A further 3-4mm of rain forecast on Tuesday morning and turning dry and breezy for racing tomorrow.'

    It will be interesting to see how the going affects running plans.

    Today it would be very surprising if they aren't pulling out all the stops to give Ruby a winner first race back. Patrick is mad keen to win the QR race but the price is criminal.

    I'll be watching out for Weld's early runners. His weren't right last year but this meeting remains a top priority.

    Good way to scare away the opposition Archie
    I would have swore he was going to say Easy Game with Ruby up in the first race.

    That Viking Hoard ran like it had been got at . Now we know why Barry wasn't on the JP horses.
