Jamie Snowden is a new name in the training ranks having recently set up a dual purpose yard in Wiltshire. He was assistant to Nicky Henderson and as an amateur jockey rode with some distinction. Tomorrow at Ludlow he sends out Bid Art in the 3 year old maiden hurdle at 3.30. This son of Hawk Wing ran 9 times on the flat for Andrew Balding without shedding his maiden tag but was placed 3rd a couple of times and has reportedly schooled well over hurdles.
There is a good card over at Punchestown where I fancy Oscar Rebel in the 3.45 and Trafford Lad in the 4.15.
There is racing on the flat at Nottingham where there are a couple of interesting newcomers in the 1.40. Ebiayn is a half brother to several winners and is the subject of good reports. He may be best with some cut in the ground. Another to watch out for is Wee Giant, a half sister to 5 winners and trained by Kevin Ryan.
Halfway House runs in the second division of the same maiden at 2.10. This colt is a half brother to the very useful Spice Route and should be all the better for his debut run at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago.
There are a couple of runners from my list to follow in action at Great Leighs. Fantasy Fighter runs in the 5.50 while General Tufto goes in the 6.20.
Bye for now.
