Taking up training next year apparently. Who’ll be in line for the Hannon job now?

Will Nathan Hughes apply to replace his idol?

Jamie Spencer / S.De Sousa ?

Lot of Jockeys now tied to contracts with Qatar/Al Shaqab, Shadwell, Darley.

Noticed Nicky Richards saying he’ll head for confidence booster at Carlisle on 15th March in small Novice Chase before going back up in grade.

I’d think the old Edinburgh Woollen Mills race at Ayr over 2m 4f on National Day might be a target if all goes ok – Future Champs it’s called these days and has good prize fund at back end of NH season.

Gutted to hear that Rob, was one of my notebook horses a couple of years ago. Lovely horse.

Same here Venture – followed him on back of his French form which was bordering on top class – Ran Spirit Son to neck and finished multiple times ahead of Katenko/Ballynagour who have all went on to have top notch NH careers in UK. He just didn’t take to British Raciñg for whatever reason.RIP

Sad to read about Walden – didn’t pick up on this at the time. I had good bet year before in the same Hunter Chase in 2014 where he finished 2nd having been held on to well back in the field and they missed out last jump or he might have got there. RIP
