No winner!

 Our hectic Thursday did not produce a winner but we did have two thirds and a fourth which could have been worse.  Salut Honore and Vaillant Creek were 3rd at Towcester, Salut has had 603 days since his last run so you could not help but be pleased.  Creek very nearly did it, he was leading after the last and just got tired on the run in but definitely a good performance from him.  Allnecessaryforce ran into 4th place up at Market Rasen in quite a hot contest, the jockey was very complimentary and he should be winning very soon.

Coco Flower tried very hard in her bumper, her fellow competitors were flat bred so were always going to be difficult to beat, the experience will have done her the world of good and she will come on for the run.

Barenice was disappointing, he went from travelling really well to zero so we need to have a think about him and Big Jim didn't really respect his fences enough so maybe a stiffer track for him next time.

Tomorrow we run Minellaforleisure over fences for the first time at Huntingdon, fingers crossed for a good performance from him, although again it is another hot contest.
