Bluenose Belle (pictured) settled better in her novice hurdle at Ludlow last week and finished third behind two useful types.  She will now have a handicap mark and hopefully we can find a suitable novices handicap hurdle for her in the coming weeks.

Mattie Ross has been declared at Taunton tomorrow in the 3.05pm – a mares handicap hurdle over three miles.  Hopefully the better ground will suit her and although Taunton is on the sharp side for her, this appears to be a less competitive race than she has been running in recently.  Finn Lambert once again rides and takes three pounds off her back.

Lizzie Rey is entered for Warwick on Thursday where she would run without a penalty having won a conditional jockeys handicap hurdle.  We will see what her handicap mark is in the morning and take a view on whether or not she will take her chance at Warwick.
