I see Elixir D'ainay is entered at Punchestown on Tuesday, some 1362 days after falling when looking the most likely danger to Shishkin in the 2020 Supreme. You can't fault JP and Willie for their patience.

I'm surprised that Fakir D'oudairies is as much as 9/4 for this, I think that he's a different class to the rest of these. I know that Saint Calvados and Fanion D'Estruval are rated within two pounds of him on official ratings but I think that these are examples of the BHA handicapper's ratings...

Delighted to see Tim Vaughan get a decent win in a Saturday race. That's just his eighth winner of the season. Ten years ago he trained 102 winners in a season.

I see that Allaho has been entered on Sunday at Thurles for the race he won last season. Given that all the chat has been that he is going straight to Cheltenham, I wonder whether there is any chance of him running. (3:15) 16E Horse & Jockey Hotel S'chase (Grade2) €21,535.00 ( 2m 4f 48y - 6yo+...

Gordon Elliott won the last seven at Navan yesterday and the first at both Cork and Punchestown today. I'd imagine no one has ever won nine sucessive races in Ireland before.

A real good looking beginners chase coming up at Thurles on Thursday. The Bosses Oscar, Beacon Edge and Stratum among the declarations.

Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune has joined the Coolmore National Hunt team at Grange Stud in Fermoy, Co Cork. His fee has been set at €5,000.

Among the well known names catalogued are, Irving Far West Vibrato Valtat Sign of a Victory Call the Cops River Maigue Royal Boy Mendip Express Bless the Wings Vendor and also Lockstockandbarrel a Mullins maiden hurdle winner owned by Sue Magnier. If he's as good as he looked when winning at...

A very interesting podcast this week with Dan Kelly and Jason Hathorn. Jason has analysed the effects of moving stable on 6000 horses with some interesting results. It's well worth a view.

I was very impressed with Tycoon Prince, yesterday's bumper winner at Fairyhouse.A half brother to Zuska and Puffin Billy, the Gigginstown/Elliott gelding quickened away from a good horse of Mullins in nice style. He is expected to go hurdling now.

A cracking card in prospect at Naas on Saturday. Among the entries are Shaneshill, No More Heroes, Free Expression, Analifet, Clarcam, Le Vent D'Antan and Valseur Lido.

A great day today at Elliott's new yard at Cullentra. Over 400 in attendance. The big prospects singled out by Gordon and his staff were Free Expression and No More Heroes both of whom go novice hurdling and Balbir du Mathan who goes novice chasing.

SILVINIACO CONTI has been awarded the title of the sport's highest-rated jumper following the unveiling of last season's Anglo-Irish classifications. Victory in the King George VI Chase gave the Paul Nicholls-trained stayer, who later went on to land Aintree's Betfred Bowl, an official rating of...

Al Kazeem is back in training with Roger Charlton after proving subfertile at stud.

Sandown, Ffos Las and Wetherby all go ahead. Well done to all concerned.

A much better showing today, got squeezed for room at the last and was only beaten a couple of lenghts giving a lot of weight away. He showed such promise last season, I hope he is on the way back.

A promising return, some great jumps, tired in the last hundred yards.

Great to see another old boy winning a Saturday chase at the age of 12.

Who would have thought that three years after his Hennessy win, he would be running at Catterick, not having won in the meantime.
