Diary: November 8 2006

I was very sorry to here that Fondmort is in a bad way after a training accident.  He has been a wonderful servant over the years and would be a huge loss to his connections that I am sure think the world of him.  If ever a racehorse had earned a long and comfortable retirement it would be Fondmort.  Let’s hope he recovers.

  

Ringaroses gave our list to follow a win today at Kempton on his hurdles debut.  He never came off the bridle under a patient Timmy Murphy ride and looks a useful recruit for Henrietta Knight.

  

There are jumps cards at both Bangor and Lingfield tomorrow and some interesting runners on show.

  

Blythe Knight, this year’s Lincoln winner makes his hurdles debut at Bangor in the 12.40.  With Tony McCoy on board he must be respected.

  

There are 3 runners from our list to follow in the 1.40, Cloudy Lane, Mr Poitment and Reach for the Top.  Cloudy Lane and Mr Pointment look the ones to concentrate on with the former having the benefit of a recent outing.

  

Distant Thunder’s recent form figures contain more letters than numbers.  His form of a couple of seasons ago was much more impressive though and he is in with a chance on his first run for his new stable in the 2.10.

  

Our runner at Lingfield is Gimmeabreak (2.30).  He is an Irish points winner and looks the type to show improved form now he is tried over fences.

  

See you tomorrow
