It's a very social weekend, this morning was flat out before we left for lunch just outside Leeds, Andrew Robertson who shares many horses with me held a surprise birthday party for his wife. We had a lovely lunch and a good chat before heading home. Tomorrow we are all off to Ben Cases Open day, the lunch is delicious, last year I think Tilly ate 5 if not 6 puddings!
I am keeping a very close eye on the weather at. Chepstow, they have put some water on it and rain is forecast, Major Martin has an entry in the bumper, it is a hot enough contest, the more rain the better, unless it is soft he won't be getting in the lorry. We want the rain to stay away from Bangor for. Hopstrings and Max Ward. Hopstrings will have to up her game as it is a very competitive novice hurdle on paper. I don't think there is any such thing as an easy bumper and I think Max Ward needs the fast ground to put his best foot forward.
