Good to see Casimir du Clos back in the winners enclosure yesterday winning the 2.55 at Hexham. It has been very frustrating these last 3 weeks having 9 individual runners 7 seconds & two 3rds some of the 2nds just being touched off by a short head.

Elvis Mail made a very good start to his chasing debut over the bigger fences by winning the 2.20 at Ayr today. He had top weight but his class was very evident. Elvis is trained by Nick Alexander & was ridden by Lucy Alexander, well done to the winning owners « The Ladies who ».

NIKGARDE won nicely at Kelso today on his 2nd time of asking over hurdles, he is out of Nikoline who won grade 3 races over here & beat the very good mare Tarla. She has had 3 runners 3 winners & is in foal to No Risk at All. NIKGARDE is owned by Mr & Mrs Dodd’s & we are delighted for them.

First time long reining High Roller 3 year old gelding by Al Namix ex Mandchou he is a 1/2 brother to FRIEND OR FOE who is trained by Paul Nicholls and has won 2 of his 3 races in England.

PRENGARDE won thé 2nd at Pompadour again today with top weight by 8 lengths, just had another practice run before going to Auteuil.

PRENGARDE won very easily at Pompadour today after having a jolly at Moulins where he was third.

He was born here with us & his mother Nikoline was a very good race mare beating the likes of Tarla. PRENGARDE is a very athletic good looking horse & we took him to the big show, CHASER DAY in 2016 were he beat everyone & was Supreme Champion.
