A very snowy morning in Adlestrop and thanks to the dedication and hard work of our excellent team we have managed to give the string plenty of exercise despite the conditions.

Swift Jet did not take up his entry at Leicester yesterday as he was slightly lame and hopefully he will be back to normal soon.   It was disappointing for everyone as we were looking forward to him making his hurdling debut.

Sun Tracker did not find a great deal once sent for home off a slow pace in the straight at Wolverhampton on Friday evening.  Liam Keniry suggested we try riding him from the front as he may settle better and be able to use his stride more economically.  He enjoys his jumping and will hopefully go hurdling at some stage in the future.

Tech That is declared at Ffos Las tomorrow in the bumper run at 3.45pm.  He was purchased in May for the Somedays Here Partnership who we have had great fun with over the years with horses including What A Vintage, Good For Blue, Master Vintage and Iron Horse.

Tech That was runner up in his only point-to-point in Ireland and is an athletic five-year-old who has plenty of scope.  Hopefully he will gain from the experience and we look forward to him going over hurdles after this run as he has shown plenty of promise at home.
