Attain has been busy in recent weeks but he is taking his racing very well and is set to run again on Saturday. He seems to like the deep surface at Wolverhampton but everything needs to go perfectly for him to get his head in front. He is kept happy at home by going out in the field with his friends for a chill out and I'm sure he'll put in another good show.
Bethan has only had four runs in her career and was unlucky to not finish closer last time. She is taking a step up in trip to two miles on Wednesday and, although I can't say for sure that she will stay, her gallops at home and her pedigree suggest she wants a trip so we will find out for sure. She is a nice big filly who is going well at home.

Veeraya has been with us a few weeks now since coming from across town in William Haggas' yard. We were delighted to take him and his owner Mr Ahamed Ferook into the yard. He has quite a high rating at the minute but some of his early work suggests he is of above average ability. He will be stepping up his work next week and will be hitting the track in a fortnight or so time.

Candesta and Avidly were another pair of new recruits to come to us last month and they are both doing great with some faster work now on the agenda. They are two different types of horse - Candesta is a big, laid back colt who will probably need a trip whilst Avidly is a buzzy filly who may be running over a mile. They are going the right way and I'm looking forward to seeing them race.

We don't always have hurdlers in the yard but with the few we have had in the past, we have been quite successful with.
This winter we will have two to go over the jumps and first of those to run is No Such Number on Tuesday at Southwell. He has been running consistently on the flat but doesn't like the all-weather so I thought giving him a try over hurdles would be worth a try. He has been very tidy at home but the concern is that the two miles distance might be a bit short for him as he usually runs over that trip on the flat. However, the experience will do him could and he can improve upon it.
The other hurdler is Hamble. He has lost his way on the flat so we though jumping would perk him up. His schooling at home has been brilliant and he seems to love it. If he stays the distance, he could do well at the game when trying it in a few weeks' time.
