We’ll go back to the drawing board and get him schooled to give him back his confidence.

I really wanted to get a gallop into him but it was getting difficult with the bad weather, and the weekend was the perfect day for him.

The horses ran well early in the week but we have been unlucky with a few and I really thought this horse would take all of the beating.

His breathing has been helped by a wind operation after he ran at Ludlow in January and the horse is progressing well.

They took me to this health club and shoved hot wax over my chest. It was the most painful experience I’ve ever had.

Next year’s budget has necessitated a fee increase across the board as our expenses have exceeded our revenues for the first time in a number of years. We recognize the increasing burden facing the parents...

Lou Du Moulin Mas always runs well and will give Sam Thomas a great ride.

It’s a shame we lost the race at Windsor last week as that looked ideal for him. With due respect to all the other horses in the race, there is a few of the top...

The horse will have a holiday, then go novice chasing as he has already been successfully schooled over fences.

He went there and worked over a mile and six furlongs with [jockey] Ruby Walsh. Liam Heard rode Le Passing alongside him and I was very pleased. He jumped superbly.

I think it’s a really positive idea and I’m sure I shall be having runners in the first stage at Haydock.

It is the wrong track for him.

There’ll be a real buzz of excitement at the conference which I’m sure will be both informative and lots of fun.

He came back in training in July but the more we did with him, the more he started to get sore,

He’s just got in there. He finished third up at Perth at the end of a long season on his last start and he might just need this.

I don’t think he wants any further than this, he just stays the two miles very well. Ruby has already schooled him over fences and he is a brilliant jumper – he will make a...

It looks a competitive race. But at his best he is in with a big chance. He likes Cheltenham and I wouldn’t rule him out.

He went down to Exeter on Friday and worked over a mile and six furlongs with Ruby Walsh. I was very pleased, he jumped superbly.

Noland will run tomorrow but I don’t know what we will do with Natal now.

Christian Williams will probably be on the ones at Sandown now – and he is an able deputy.

He is still a bit of a baby. He’ll get an entry for Cheltenham but not against Denman.
