IT HAS been a good week for the yard with three winners on the board and an excellent third from Phantomofthepoints in the big stayer’s hurdle at Haydock over the weekend.

Jaipaletemps won for the second time at Ffos Las and in doing so gave Rian Corcoran his second professional winner. He has formed a good partnership with our six-year-old for two wins in ten days.

It was an across the card double for the team on Friday with winners at Ascot and Chepstow and it was very nearly a treble with Turenne just losing out by a head in a photo finish at Catterick. That was a very pleasing stable debut from our three-year-old and he will be seen to better effect on a more galloping track but it was a likeable performance.

Neon Moon was given a superb ride by Harry Cobden and to be honest he never looked like winning throughout the entire race until approaching the last fence! There are no immediate plans for him and we will see what the handicapper does with him.

No Walkover made a winning debut in the bumper at Chepstow with Conor O’Farrell in the saddle. He was keen enough in a steadily run affair which did not really suit him but what was particularly nice to see was how he quickened and battled inside the final two furlongs.

Parchment ran well below expectations at Kempton on Monday. While nothing immediately came to light after the race we know this run can be put in the category of too bad to be true. We will see how he is in the coming days.

We have two runners at Hereford on Tuesday, Harley’s Pride and Indulto Rouge. Harley’s Pride is making her hurdling debut after running okay in two bumpers, once in Ireland and once for us last season. Indulto Rouge makes his professional debut in the concluding bumper on the card. He was the impressive winner of his only start in an Irish point to point and does everything nicely at home.

Our next runners after this are likely to be on Thursday where we have entries at three different meetings. Jaipaletemps, River Run Free and Saccary are our trio of entries at Uttoxeter while Gold in the Rivers could head back to Lingfield where he finished second on chasing debut last time although he does have an entry at Bangor at the weekend as well. Bashful Boy could have his first run over hurdles in well over a year a little close to home at Taunton.

Friday will be a blank day on the runner’s front but on Saturday we are likely to be at two meetings, Bangor and Newbury, where Kingston Queen is an intended runner in the mare’s novices hurdle on the card. The form of her win at Chepstow on her hurdling debut has been boosted with the runner up winning nicely at Ascot the other day and she seems in good form at home. Thanksforthehelp also has an entry on the same card while at Bangor, Eton Mes, Gold in the Rivers and Royal Mer are our trio of entries.

Activist and Gentleman Toboot have entries at Leicester on Sunday, so keep checking the Daily News on the website for all the latest information on the stable runners.
