Polydora and Triopas pulled out fine this morning, Triopas has a speculative entry at Catterick on Thursday before he is reassessed. We will see how he is on Wednesday before discussing it further.

Kateson ran a very solid race in what was certainly the hottest bumper this season. Everyone turned up and we couldn’t have been happier with his performance. We will see how he is in a week’s time, let him off for a month and may consider Aintree if we get a wet spring. He shouldn't have a problem jumping a hurdle! 

Snapdragon Fire and He’s a Goer head north to Newcastle tomorrow. Neither will disgrace themselves and we go in hope of another double.

I need to get to bed as I will be up to help Albert on his way north bright and early.
