Sunday 5 February

Today I will map out the targets that are in mind for the team as it stands - allowing everyone a heads up as to where they could be travelling over the course of the next few weeks. Molly Childers has an entry in Huntingdon on Thursday (9th), if she doesn't line up here she will have an entry in Fakenham on the 14th. Chandos Belle worked great yesterday, and will be entered in Uttoxeter next Saturday (11th), and Plumpton on Monday (13th), the trip to Plumpton would be more likely at this stage. Land League, who is also in good heart will have an entry in Towcester on the 15th, but would bypass this for an alternative the next week should the ground be very soft. We can't see the sense in bottoming him out at this stage of the season. Cloonacool's next run is to be confirmed, he had light treatment on his muscles last Friday, and needs to get over the slight infection he had that saw him stop quickly in Doncaster. Apasionado will have entries in Doncaster (22), Huntingdon (23rd) and Kempton (25th). Ground and opposition will determine where he heads. New boy Tricky Silence will be allowed to settle in, and his targets will be identified when Stuart and the team have assessed him, although the chances are he will be starting off in a novice hurdle somewhere. Pleased that all of these are in great heart, and we are looking forward to a productive spring!
