Does anyone think Kauto should be tried in blinkers? I ask only because Nicholls has applied the noseband this season to 'help him concentrate'. If he feels the horse isn't fully focused on his racing, would blinkers make a difference? I get the feeling that Nicholls isn't quite sure what to...

Looks like Petit Robin could take on Twist Magic at Kempton over Christmas. Interesting prospect.

Snap Tie is apparently heading for the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. As with Sizing Europe, I wish he had gone chasing this season instead.

Much as I'd like to see Kauto win again at Kempton, I think Noland deserves to take his chance, too. Disappointing. Meanwhile, War Of Attrition is set for either the King George or the Lexus.

Her son The Hardy Boy won at Plumpton yesterday, as it happens. I don't think she has produced any stars, however.

Hello, Rory. Thanks for that. It's great to see her in colour! My first favourite mare from NH racing. I'll never forget her valiant attempts in the old Stayers Hurdle.

Jack The Giant. Heat in one of his ligaments.

Admittedly they were juveniles, but it looked hard going out there. Will need something that gets every yard in the Hennessy tomorrow.

That's true enough. Perhaps he has decided to concentrate on winning more prize money at home. After all, he missed the big pot last weekend... I'm sure he will wrap up another title over here but he is not as far clear as he was this time last year.

Perhaps it's just that Ruby knows most of his horses, particularly the good ones, better? In the case of this weekend, I think he was right not to send anything over. As for the Durkan, I would like to see Noland go over for it. Or is the Peterborough Chase a preferred target?

Nicholls has also said in his teletext column that he probably won't be sending over any other horses while Ruby is sidelined. Hello all, by the way.
