The Three "A's" didn't quite 'bring home as much bacon' as hoped at the weekend, indeed with the shining exception of DANVILLA, it has been a slightly under-achieving three weeks. ALASI and APPLEADAY both ran perfectly respectable first races of the season and will both be close next time, indeed Mr. McCoy said, 'Iwould not be at all surprised if Apple won next time.' There you have it, straight from The Champion's mouth. AUSTRALIA DAY was never his rediculously mad self and his record-breaking excertions of Kempton had left a little scar. He is now on his holidays and will miss Cheltenham in the spring and be trained for a Maytime comeback, probably at Punchestown? DANVILLA romped home at Kempton and he hope the handicapper has not got her measure yet with a 7lbs. rise in the weights.
Hopefully the current tempest will relent later today and things wont be too miserable at Ludlow. CARBON PRINT would not appreciate too much rain but needs to run, RAJMAGAN will come on from his Kempton debut, while KEY CUTTER is our best chance in the handicap chase. He ran well on his first start over fences at Ludlow and has a good chance today, as long as the ground has not gone too soft.
