Back home again so able to pick up the threads.

2:37 Kelso Matata - went close in this last year and it’s an easier contest than the Shloer which is what I was looking for. Sean Bowen is up today which is hardly a disadvantage. 14/11 Matata ran a fine race in the Shloer and although he wouldn’t have troubled the winner he would likely have held onto second place but for very nearly unseating at the last. If he goes for an easier contest he’ll be hard to beat.
 
Bloody Hell. As if I’m not in enough trouble, I’ve just bitten into a slice of toast and broken one of my front teeth clean off.

Anyway, jumping wasn’t up to it for Matata, but better jumping would only have only got him a bit closer in third. Nothing today.
 
12:35 Hereford: Rock Sensation makes her hurdle debut having caught the eye in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham - 15/11 raced second last until push came to shove when she found herself stuck behind the pack with nowhere to go. She eventually found a route with little over a furlong left and finished strongly then, but couldn’t do better than fourth. - Assuming she jumps well enough, she should at least give the Henderson odds-on favourite something to think about.
