Morning, team. Big news today I see is that Jason Watson has been appointed stable jockey to Mr Charlton. Huge opportunity that for last year’s champion apprentice. As I’ve said before I think Mr Charlton has several juveniles who I think could make up into incredibly smart 3YOs next term so this could prove the combo to beat in 2019.

Adam McNamara retains the ‘number 2’ jersey at Beckhampton but not good news for Kieren Shoemark. A further blow following him testing positive re a drugs test recently.

Mourinho sacked then. Nice pay off no doubt and he can now put his feet up over Christmas. Alright for some.

My son is over the moon. Never wanted him in the first place. They would have been better keeping LVG. He would have built up a young team for the future. Trouble is these ****ing owners want instant results
 
A couple of above-average contests at Naas today.

In the novice chase at 1.35, Willie gives Duc De Genievres his chase debut. Interestingly, he faces former stablemate Carter McKay (now owned by Qatar Racing and trained by Gordon Elliot) and another horse sporting silks more commonly seen at newmarket, Cheveley Park stud's A Plus Tard. Ruby "low risk" Walsh has allowed Paul Townend to take the ride on Duc De Genievres but I think Carter McKay might offer the best value of the front 3 in the betting with some 6/1 knocking about. Some interesting money for Ministerforsport on oddschecker.

The following race at 2.05 is a mares novice hurdle and feature Champion Bumper winner Relegate (ridden by Ruby) take on Jessie Harrington's Barrington Court, who has been back into joint-favouritism after hosing up at Navan and gets a useful 3lbs weight-for-age allowance.

yes,they look like the main players here,but whats your thoughts on the very useful hurdler EX PATRIOT?i think,hes a bit high in the betting,given,what hes achieved over hurdles,so shouldnt be totally overlooked here.but it looks quite a hot contest..
 
Didn't get on to say last night but A Plus Tard was clear top rated (with a p) by Timeform so can't believe he started at 4/1. I was trying to think of a Charlie Smirke type quip when he won the Derby saying "What did I Tulyar". Along the lines of as she sweeps past in the final furlong saying "A plus tard". but something cropped up and I forgot about it. With my lack of success, no-one would have taken any notice anyway.
 
catterick,3 10:

experience under rules counts a lot in these bumpers,and WINTER TIME ran a very promising race in second,when last seen in may last year.the winner has gone on to be quite useful,so that looks solid form to me..

Sorry, was stuck in meetings since my post but sounds like Ex Patriiot did OK (better than Carter McKay anyway ......................)
