IT SEMES like an eternity since I smashed my leg at Down Royal way back on November 6, but I’m now ready and raring to go and the only question is what day will I return next week.

CUE CARD, winner of the Weatherbys Champion Bumper last season, heads 86 entries for the Stan James Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham in March.

Banjaxed Girl showed there are few tougher staying mares in the jumping world when putting a rare flop behind her with a convincing success in the 32Red.com Mares' Hurdle at Sandown today.

I just hope Kempton passes an inspection this afternoon, because otherwise St Stephen’s Day is going to have a very bare appearance indeed.

Last season’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle runner-up Get Me Out Of Here will carry top-weight in The Ladbroke on Saturday – if the meeting survives the weather.
