Lack of time, and any 3G on the ipad curtailing news this week, although at least the emails seem to be working again now! A busy few days and the horses all running well.

 Lovely to welcome EPDS racing last Saturday morning, to see their horses. Dontminddboys about to make his debut over here, he is entered at Chepstow and Warwick next week – an exciting addition to the team for this season, he will be a chaser in the long term, but is a lovely athletic horse who is working well at home. Anti Cool was all dressed up and ready to go, but has sadly picked up an injury which will see him out of action till around Christmas – frustrating for the EPDS members, who have been nothing but brilliant about it, and to a man only concerned that AC is OK – which he will be.

 Galactic Power standing in for the EPDS 10 Partnership whilst AC mends, and surprising us by getting into the bumper at Uttoxeter when looking sure to be balloted out. He finished in the middle and race a decent race on what ended up very dead ground. He will be better with some hurdles in his way, and will hopefully give the members some fun days for a while.

 Dans Quest and Point of Attack both running solid races at Stratford, Dans’ first time over hurdles, and PoA first time back after a wind op – which has clearly worked!

Off to Ascot today with Restless Harry and Garrahalish. Stiff tasks for both, and the ground probably on the quick side for Harry, but both in good heart and hoping for big runs.
