Bluenose Belle (pictured) runs today in the 2.10pm at Market Rasen – a two mile conditional jockeys novices handicap hurdle.  Having won at Fontwell last time out we are hopeful of another competitive run and she will prefer going right-handed on this occasion.  Once again Finn Lambert rides and we look forward to her settling better than she did last time out now she has more experience.

Santa Sabina looks as though she would benefit for a step up in trip having shown greenness on her debut at Worcester on Tuesday.  The mare has had a few niggles over the last few seasons but it was good to get her out on the track as she has always shown ability at home.

We have entries next week both on the flat and over jumps although many of the string are now beginning their summer holidays.

Mattie Ross who won a bumper and hurdle race for us and gave the Zara syndicate much fun has been retired from racing and will now begin a breeding career.  Guy Butchers and others from the Zara syndicate will now find a suitable stallion for her and yesterday she moved to her new home at Guy’s farm near Bury St Edmunds.  Mattie has a lovely pedigree and we look forward to seeing her offspring in the future.
