Energumene and Sebastopol have come out of their races on Sunday in great shape, both cantered yesterday and felt great. The likelihood is both horses will now head to a sale, probably Cheltenham in February.

The Last of Them was disappointing, he got warm in the paddock and tried to race on one breath. A wise man taught me to give time time and that is what he needs -  on the back of the 6 years he’s had already.

Sir Egbert ran nicely today at Ludlow, he settled, jumped well and galloped to the line, I am over the moon with the progress he’s made. Joe has been riding him at home and deserves a lot of credit – he hasn’t been an easy horse to switch off.   

Another router arrived from BT this morning!
