Showers of rain forecast in the South West mainly, so little bit of caution if punting today.  A couple of horses of interest later today, I’m just going to watch the weather and see a few races, before having a bet.

I was reading about the Paul Nicholls open day yesterday.  He has stated that he thinks he is going to struggle to beat Nicky Henderson again for the National Hunt trainers title again this season.  But as he said, he has won 10 and been second 10 times in the last 20 seasons! Some achievement, as keeping your horses healthy for that amount of time, is very difficult.

As we move towards Autumn, we will start to see the bigger Jump yards having a few more runners over the next month or so.  Obviously it depends if we get a bit of rain, as dry conditions see quite small fields.
