The weather has conspired against them running Discko Des Plages, but he was entered both Thursday and Friday this week at Exeter and Uttoxeter respectively. It was significant that Brian Hughes had been booked for the Exeter run on Thursday, but that meeting has just been called off. I’m hoping Uttoxeter will go ahead and it will be interesting to see who is booked for the ride.

His last run was at Uttoxeter on 20th November where he ran very comfortably - although his jumping was not as fluent as it might be - and he had just pushed himself into the lead quite strongly at the third last when he jinked on landing and unshipped James Best who, in falling, dragged the horse down! I say “pushed himself into the lead” because it looked to me as though Best was still trying to restrain him for a later effort. Anyway, I think he was travelling so well that he would have surely been involved in the finish. He runs off the same mark and I think he can win at this level, even though Exeter was probably the preferred option.
 
Uttoxeter abandoned. He’s got another entry on 19th at Lingfield over 2m which is a bit short for him. Once again, no jockey booked as yet. Seem to be trying hard to get him a run somewhere.
