2.40 - Al Durry
I start Friday with Al Durry at Newbury, she's trained by Owen Burrows and won nicely in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton last time out - she looked as though she had a little in hand when winning on that occasion, so the obvious next step was to take on a Class 3. It's a competitive race, but it's the perfect step up for her. The track will suit her, she's a galloping sort who'll like a track like Newbury, so hopefully she'll go well.
3.18 - Down To You Kid
Down To You Kid is a nice two-year-old, and our horses are coming to form nicely now. I'd have to put him in the mix in this one... he's worked nicely at home and he's ready to start. We think a bit of him - obviously we're going to find out what kind of competition he ends up running against, but like I said, he's ready to start now, and we like him a lot.
3.53 - Guitar Solo
Guitar Solo is my third ride of the day, and this one has taken a long time to learn his trade. He ran very green first time out, and didn't really show us much. I would imagine that he'll need another run to straighten him out, so for now it's up in the air as to how well he runs on the day, I think.
4.25 - Zynak
This is Zynak's first time out for Kevin Philippart De Foy, so he's another one we're going to learn a lot about after this ride. From there, we'll know where he's at and what the rest of his season might look like. I do like these maiden stakes though, with a decent-sized field, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of horse we've got in him.
