FIRSTLY I want to say thank you to everyone for their thoughts and kind messages following Nico’s fall, which we have passed onto him. He is now back at home and will need to rest. We don’t know exactly when he’ll be back riding but we wish him a speedy recovery.

In the meantime we do have to make riding plans for our horses and Mark Walsh will come over to Sandown Park on Saturday to ride Jonbon.

Constitution Hill has an important gallop on Friday and he will be partnered by James Bowen. If that goes well they will school together over the weekend and if we get a double green light so to speak then we can all head over to Punchestown. Everything hinges on how this weekend goes. Lulamba is in great form and could also head over. It’s a brave shout but I’m very happy with him and James would also take ride if we line up.
