I’m in Barhrain for the last big meeting of the series and the King’s Cup tomorrow. Starting off tonight is a late racing because of the start of Ramadan, the holy fasting season. Therefore we’ll be racing a bit later.I have five rides today, five rides tomorrow. The pick of the rides today will be…
I’m riding at Chelmsford on Thursday evening and I have two rides. The pick of them would be Kitaro Kich. He seems to have found a new lease of life; a bit of a frustrating horse but finally got his in front in January. It was a bit unlucky last time but since that he…
Heading to Southwell today for three rides. The pick of them will be Surrey Shadow, trained by Tom Clover. I was a good second on him first time out at Doncaster, and he subsequently put in two very good runs. One was ahead of Glass Star at the end of last season, where he was…
Day two, five more rides again. It’s always a competitive weekend. We’ve got the Crown Prince’s Cup, which has listed international status—a very rich race. We’re going in there with Zagato. He’s a previous winner of this race and a multiple winner in Bahrain. He’s been running very well lately, winning two of his last…

I’m here in Bahrain for The Series Festival. On day one, in the evening, we have five rides for Al Mohamediya Racing. I suppose the pick of those five would be Jehangeer in the Hawar Cup – the first leg of the series races. He’s been running quite well since he’s come out here. He’s…

Happy to be back in action tomorrow after a week of no racing, so we’ll be refreshed and ready to go. We start off with two rides at Lingfield. The first is a maiden for Tom Clover with Crack On Boys. He’s a two-year-old, unraced cracksman. He’s a half-brother to an all-weather winner, so hopefully that…

Tomorrow off to Kempton, start of a new week. There’s a couple of good races on. Starting off with Katara Keech for George Baker. He’s been running not too bad of races. In and out, but his all water form is pretty good, so I think coming back under the all water is a plus….

We’re going to Kempton for five rides. It’s going to be a competitive card, plenty of racing. Starting off with one for Charlie Johnston, first time out two year old, Pacifist, Australian bred filly, first time out, difficult draw. It’s going to be interesting to see because there’s a lot of them that haven’t run….

Heading to Kempton today for three rides. Tex in the Maiden would be the pick of them. It doesn’t look a very strong race, but there is a hot favourite in the race, two runs, not a bad run both starts so obviously it has some sort of ability, but ultimately this is going to…

Going to Yarmouth for five rides, and the pick of them would be to start off with Oman for Tony Carroll. It has been running over a lot further in distance, a winner earlier on in the season over a mile and six. Coming back quite drastically in distance, but always been quite keen in…
