I will have to send Alice to Carlton on her own, listening to the Welsh boys will be painful! The French just didn't turn up last night and played appallingly. Sholto and his under 8's at Stow would have beaten them yesterday, so they've not a lot to brag about.
If Ireland turn over England this afternoon I will be too upset to do the blog.
Cavite Epsilon had another pop this morning with Sam, I had been riding him prior to this morning so Sam just got a feel of him. My fear is the ground will be too quick for him tomorrow and should that be the case he most certainly will not run. I will have a walk of the track and we will go from there. It is 1 week off 3 years since he last ran and won his maiden. Sam Waley-Cohen rode him on that occasion and his following ride was Long Run winning the Gold Cup. Saint Charles will love the good ground and is a certain runner. Cavite Epsilon, Rebekah Rabbit and Richard Rabbit all have entries at Garthorpe the following week, surely, they will divide their maiden at entry.
The horses are starting to really come to hand now and March will be a busy month.
