I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was a bit fed up right now after seeing all my plans for the week go out the window.

I GENERALLY go on a skiing holiday at this time of the year, when the racing scene is quite enough and so this column is coming to you from Megeve in France.

DESPITE the fact the conditions of the contest aren’t exactly stacked in his favour, C’est Ca is the nap choice in the Weatherbys’ Racecards Hurdle at Down Royal this afternoon.

SMOKING ACES is the nap choice in the fairyhouseracecourse.ie Rated Hurdle at the Co. Meath track this afternoon.
