I am happy to leave all the season talk to the boss, especially when it comes to you know who!
To be serious, we will hopefully have all of the campaign to chat all things Constitution Hill, so let’s put him to one side for now.
But we are in a good place with him.
It is an exciting season ahead all round though, as we have a really good set of young horses to go to war with, alongside the more established stars – even if we are without the likes of the recently-retired Marie’s Rock – and obviously the recent high-profile recruit from the Flat, Palladium, is among them.
Where he goes, we will see.
We are happy with where we are with the horses at the moment, but it’s a long season ahead and I imagine we won’t hit peak form for a while yet, in common with most of the bigger yards, I suppose.
That said, we have already had 13 winners in this campaign at a very good strike rate.
In The Air
He is one of the horses who has helped us get the ball rolling already this season and hopefully he still has more in the tank after going up 12b for his two recent successes since joining us. Trip and ground look ideal, and he has a fair chance here, I’d have thought.
Arclight
She obviously didn’t run her race when we last saw her at Kempton back in February and she had a little setback afterwards. However, we are very happy with her now, and she was very good when winning her first three starts over fences. The ground and trip are fine, and hopefully her mark of 136 is still workable. This looks a competitive handicap, though.
