We're obviously really happy with how the season is going so far. As I’ve alluded to, this year, we're hoping to surpass Martin Pipe's seasonal total, and we're doing well up to this point.
The summer horses have done excellently; Beorma has been unbelievable, she's won seven from seven, and in pretty quick succession. Four of those wins have been back-to-back, day-to-day, so that's quite remarkable. She'll be back in August. She has been ably supported by a whole host of other winners who have as a group been excelling.
We've got four runners on Saturday at Market Rasen. Starting with Loriko, and going right-handed will suit him here. Obviously, there's not that many right-handed tracks in the summer, so coming to Market Rasen will be good for him. He's up there in the ratings and I think he's got a massive chance.
Then in the Summer Hurdle we've got two runners: Charlus and Louis Veron. Charlus hasn't shown enough recently for us to think he can be competitive in this type of race, but the fast pace of this will really suit him. I'm sure things will come together for him at some point, it's just not looked like it yet, so we're coming here in hope rather than expectation when it comes to him.
Louis Veron is in great form and we've had this race in mind for him. He's won en route this summer nicely. He's a very slick mover and this ground has suited him, so we think we've got a good chance here.
We think we can say the same for Kingston Narcissus in the Chase. Again, we've had this race in mind for him. We were a bit annoyed not to win last time, but this trip is much more like it for him, and we've put some cheekpieces on just to sharpen him up. We're really looking forward to getting him out there, because we think he's got a good chance.
