Another frustrating weekend comes to a close. It's been a real up and down month, with some proper good days and a couple of real downers, none of which were more tragic than Foward Plan fatally falling when looking like the probable winner in at Doncaster on Saturday. I look to Hereford on Monday to start off the final week of January and hope it passes it's 7.30am inspection.

I think this trip is what this mare really needs these days. It's amazing to think that she is still yet to win a race but thing's haven't always gone her way over the years and she suffered an injury which put her off course for 568 days. She made her comeback at Chepstow in October where she finished well down the field but she was entitled to do that after such an absence. She stepped up markedly on that 26 days ago however, when she finished third at Exeter on very heavy ground over this sort of trip. She travelled like the winner in that race until making a bad mistake up the home straight which cost her any chance of winning. She's entitled to improve on that again and she is now racing off a 2 pound lower mark (officially rated 94) than when second at Chepstow in April 2023 behind a horse who is now rated 118.
