Tuesday 3 January

We have provisionally booked the services of Brendan Powell jnr at Sandown on Saturday. Young Brendan looks to have a big future in the riding ranks, and his invaluable 7lb claim will mean that we will be cancelling out Colebrookes penalty for his win in Fontwell three runs back. This talented young man is excellent value for his claim, so hopefully things will go to plan and he will be in the plate on Saturday - although with these good lads things can change at the drop of a hat if his boss Colin Tizzard needs him to go elsewhere, and as he has, a fair few entries at Wincanton this would not be the biggest shock! BPjnr is currently on the 15 winner mark from 74 rides this season(including a treble at Plumpton a couple of weeks ago).
