Damp and drizzly, farm stays sodden, similar story up and down the nation. Our busy New Yr racing interval continues with two runners at Musselburgh tomorrow. The going at Musselburgh is more likely to be largely smooth and our first runner is Not The Chablis within the 12:10. I anticipated him to run nicely over C&D however his leaping was erratic within the early phases and he by no means actually received concerned. This can be a comparable race and if he will get into a greater rhythm he might play a component as he’s nicely handicapped. Joe Williamson rides and eight run.

Not the Chablis

We then run Duyfken within the 1:55, his type up to now this season seems very stable. The step up in journey ought to go well with and he has good type on the monitor so hopes are excessive! Danny rides and eight run.

Dufyken

A stable day at Ayr on Tuesday made memorable by a recreation win within the characteristic handicap chase from Up Helly Aa King on the age of 13.

Up Helly Aa King – a real warrior on the age of 13 and nonetheless as enthusiastic as ever. It’s a complete pleasure to coach a basic staying chaser with as a lot coronary heart as he has.

We had been additionally delighted with Travail D’Orfevre, greater than dealing with the step up in school to complete second, and Wakool filling the identical spot underneath high weight. Hombre De Guerra ran nicely to be third on floor that was too smooth for him. Fortunate Soldier improved to complete fifth however nonetheless must brush up his leaping. The race got here too quickly for Beat The Retreat and Skiddaw ran inexplicably poorly.
