Trainer Paul Nicholls was "delighted" at the weight allotted to Tidal Bay for the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on April 5. Paul Nicholls: Optimistic over Tidal Bay's chances Although the 13-year-old must shoulder top weight of 11st 10lb, he is 7lb lower than his official mark of 168. Tidal Bay, who finished a staying-on second in the Irish Hennessy at Leopardstown on Sunday, was due to run in the National last season but he was ruled out of the race due to injury. Nicholls, who has taken Tidal Bay out of the Gold Cup with Aintree in mind, told his Betfair column: "I am obviously delighted with his weight again this year, as Phil Smith (senior handicapper) has given him a realistic winning chance off 161, 7lb lower than his current mark. "Tidal Bay is obviously getting on a bit as a 13-year-old - and he did unseat in this race three years ago when with Howard Johnson - but he wasn't far off his brilliant best when a close third off a mark of 163 in the Welsh National. "I was more than satisfied with his second in the Irish Hennessy on Sunday given the race didn't play to his strengths. In fact, that was an awesome run for a 13-year-old in a Grade One race." Rocky Creek, runner up in the Hennessy and the Argento Chase, is another leading fancy for Nicholls on 11st 5lb, but he could instead be preserved solely for the Gold Cup in March. The Ditcheat handler said: "We have yet to sit down and make a final decision, but at the moment it is 50-50 as to whether we go to the Gold Cup rather than Aintree this season. "We just have it in the back of our minds that he has only had seven starts over fences and whether we ought to get some more experience into him before going to Aintree, even if it is not as big a test as in previous years." Nicholls also has Kauto Stone (11st 1lb), Sire Collonges (10st 8lb), Hawkes Point (10st 6lb), Mon Parrain (10st 7lb) and There's No Panic (9st 11lb). He said: "The Grand National is not at the top of my list of priorities for him (Kauto Stone), and he will take in the Betfair Ascot Chase on Saturday and the Ryanair at Cheltenham next. "Sire Collonges bounced back to form when winning the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham in December, and he will run in that race at the Festival next month before going to Aintree. "Mon Parrain is certainly well handicapped on his Topham second three years ago - he is 5lb lower and he did jump the Aintree fences brilliantly that day - but he clearly has had his problems since, missing last season with a leg injury, and has his stamina to prove. "I have trained him for the National, and he will have one race before Aintree, though he will not run on bad ground. "Hawkes Point is entered at both Haydock and Ascot on Saturday, and the plan is to run him this weekend providing racing beats this blasted weather, with Haydock the preferred option. "He ran a great Aintree trial when splitting Mountainous and Tidal Bay in the Welsh National and is on the upgrade, and while he does prefer soft ground, he does have some form on better going and he will love every yard of the trip. But he is 6lb higher than at Chepstow, and that makes life a lot tougher. "There's No Panic was another of my National runners to bounce back to form last time when winning over three and a half miles at Sandown in December. "Quite clearly, he will struggle to get in here, and didn't have the best experience of these fences when brought down in the Topham last year, but he will go to the Kim Muir at Cheltenham next month and we will see what unfolds. But I have one eye on the bet365 (Gold Cup) for him at Sandown at the end of the season."

Tony McCoy's ride in the Crabbie's Grand National appears to be down to a potential two after the weights were announced for what looks an incredibly open renewal. McCoy: Has options at Aintree The official bookmakers Betfred were offering all the 114 entries at upwards of 20-1, and whichever the record-breaking champion jockey chooses will be a far shorter price by April 5. McCoy's boss JP McManus owns 11 of the possible runners as the combination bid to repeat the Aintree success of Don't Push It in 2010, and the owner's racing manager Frank Berry said: "They are all well at the moment and let's hope they get there in one piece. "I fancied Colbert Station (11st) when AP rode him last year on decent ground but he forgot to take off at The Chair. "I'd say (what McCoy rides) will be a toss-up between Colbert Station and Double Seven (10st 11lb), who has won his last five. "Carlingford Lough (10st 13lb) is entered but I'd say it will be a year too soon for him and he'll be in one of the novices at Cheltenham." Colbert Station is trained by former Grand National-winning trainer Ted Walsh along with 2012 third Seabass (11st 2lb), while Double Seven is also trainer by another former Aintree conqueror in Martin Brassil. Brassil said: "I was probably expecting something between 10st 10lb and 11st, but that's what I thought he might get off his mark. "At least we know we will get a run and it's great to have a horse good enough for the race. He is a spring/summer horse, but he's fit as we can have him in this wet weather. "Hopefully we'll try to get a race into him beforehand in mid-March and there's a chance he might come to Cheltenham for the four-miler." The National is about the only event missing from champion trainer Nicky Henderson's CV and former Gold Cup winner Long Run was given 11st 9lb, which is just 1lb behind the top-weight Tidal Bay. He has the Hennessy hero Triolo D'Alene on 11st 6lb, which is 1lb lower than his fascinating new recruit Hunt Ball. "After he ran in the King George on Boxing Day, Robert (Waley-Cohen, owner) and I had to conclude Long Run probably wasn't a Gold Cup horse now," said Henderson. "I'm very pro the whole idea (of the National) so he'll go to Kelso on Thursday (Ivan Straker Memorial Chase) and we'll take it from there. "Barry Geraghty begged me not to run Triolo D'Alene in the Hennessy to protect his weight for the National. We're penalised a bit now but he's got his weight and he probably deserves it. "Hunt Ball is in two races at Ascot at the weekend and he'll run in one of those first." Those two events, the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Chase and Betfair Ascot Chase are also options for last year's National third Teaforthree (10st 12lb). Tidal Bay is one of seven entries for Paul Nicholls and he expects the former Lexus winner, who was second in last weekend's Irish Hennessy to be more than competitive. The 13-year-old missed his chance in 2013 due to a setback. "It must be his OAP allowance," Nicholls said of Tidal Bay's 11st 10lb. "He must have a chance as he's 2lb lower than than his mark for finishing third in the Welsh National. "I decided to take him out of the Gold Cup as you'd have to train him for the Gold Cup and I'd rather keep him fresh for Aintree. "Rocky Creek (11st 5lb) would be 50-50 to run, I think he might just go for the Gold Cup instead. "Hawkes Point (10st 6lb) is in on Saturday and we'll see how he gets on, while Sire Collonges (10st 8lb) will go for the cross country race at Cheltenham. We've a few in there but the number one challenger without a doubt is Tidal Bay." David Pipe, yet another former National winner with Comply Or Die, was keenest about Our Father (10st 8lb) and The Package (10st 4lb) from his sextet but has not decided where the pair will go for warm-up runs. One of the biggest 'feel good' stories would be if Monbeg Dude (10st 9lb), one of the co-favourites, could prevail. Trained by Michael Scudamore, the former Welsh National winner who returned to form at Cheltenham in December is owned by a syndicate including former England rugby captain Mike Tindall and receives jumping lessons from his wife, the Olympic eventer Zara Phillips. Scudamore said: "He worked well this morning and we want one more run before Aintree so the plan is to go to Haydock on Saturday (Betfred Grand National Trial) as long as the ground is not atrocious."

The Grand National weights have been revealed, with Tidal Bay 1lb ahead of Long Run on 11-10. The old rogue is 7lbs below his official rating, but we can't endorse backing a teenager - who unseated on his only previous run in the race - off top weight. Long Run also makes little appeal, in need of seven miles and a new pair of legs. These 'class acts' are hardly Denman.
The main thing that jumped out at us is why Teaforthree, who was the best horse in the race last year, giving a stone to Auroras Encore, is on only 10-12. Having lumped 11-3 on his first try, Rebecca Curtis must be in raptures that they get another crack off a lower weight. The cut-off is currently at 10-8, with 57 horses 10-5 or over (including our ante-post tip Soll, who will struggle to get in on 10-0). Teaforthree will probably be only 8lbs or so above bottom weight.
Last year, the next horse to come home carrying 11st+ was 64L behind the winner in 12th place. 15 attempted this so it highlights just how good Teaforthree's effort was. If we'd have been force to guess this morning, we'd have put the horse at around 11-5, with his Aintree liking bumping him up. As it is, he's 7lbs lower and 25/1. His profile is similar to Hedgehunter, who got tired in his first National only to come back and win 14L the year later carrying 3lb more.

Southwell, 11 February 2014
1.30, first race
The Stewards held an enquiry into the falls of Mark Coumbe, the rider of GEBAYL, and William Carson, the rider of ROXY LANE, approximately two and a half furlongs out. They interviewed Carson and the BHA Veterinary Officer but were unable to interview Coumbe owing to his injuries. Having heard Carson’s evidence and viewed recordings of the incident the Stewards found that the fall was caused by GEBAYL losing its action, stumbling, falling, and bringing down ROXY LANE. Being satisfied that the incident was accidental, the Stewards took no further action.
2.00, second race
The Stewards noted that SEAHAM, unplaced, had interfered with HANNAH LOUISE, unplaced, on the bend leaving the back straight but after viewing a recording of the race they were satisfied that it did not involve a riding offence.
4.10, sixth race
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference approximately four furlongs out. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that BLACK GERONIMO, unplaced, ridden by Billy Cray, had interfered with MORNIN MR NORRIS, unplaced, ridden by Barry McHugh. The Stewards found Cray in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his horse to drift left, thereby causing interference. They suspended him for 2 days as follows: Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 February 2014.
11/02/2014 ========================================================
Ayr, 11 February 2014
1.50, first race
Jason Maguire, the rider of MOSS STREET, which was pulled up, reported that the gelding was never travelling.
2.20, second race
Jason Maguire, the rider of ASKAMORE DARSI (IRE), which was pulled up, reported that the gelding was never travelling.
4.00, fifth race
Peter Buchanan, the rider of MUMGOS DEBUT (IRE), which was pulled up, reported that the gelding ran too free.
Stuart Coltherd, the trainer of HOTGROVE BOY, which was pulled up, reported that the gelding was unsuited by the ground which was heavy, soft in places.
4.30, sixth race
The Stewards considered the running of GANSEY (IRE), ridden by Ryan Mania and trained by Sue Smith, which finished unplaced. They noted the trainer could offer no explanation for the gelding’s performance.
11/02/2014
Southwell, 11 February 2014
2.35, third race
The representative of Ian Williams, the trainer of NUBAR BOY, unplaced, reported that the gelding was unsuited by the Fibresand surface.
4.10, sixth race
Paul Mulrennan, the rider of SKY RANGER, unplaced, reported that the filly was never travelling.
11/02/2014 ================================================== 11 February - SPLASHING THROUGH THE MUD Another abhorrent week on the weather front wreaked havoc with the National Hunt programme mid-week but the two headline fixtures on Saturday stood firm and made for informative, if at the same time gruelling, viewing. It was a day where several novices performed with distinction and, led off by Splash of Ginge’s surprise success in the valuable Betfair Hurdle, our NH team give their explanation of their updated ratings.
Hatch the way to do it
That Saturday’s Betfair Handicap Hurdle at Newbury managed to survive such a turbulent week weather wise at all was a tribute to all concerned at the track, writes David Dickinson.
The fact that the race was run on heavy but holding ground could hardly have been a surprise but in those conditions those who raced close to the pace did seem to be favoured. None more so than the winner, the 33/1 outsider Splash of Ginge, who made much of the running under an enterprising ride from 7lb-claimer Ryan Hatch. With a fleet of well supported horses bearing down on him in the closing stages he maintained the lead he had retaken from Act of Kalanisi early in the straight to gain a hard-fought success.
With both the third, Irish Saint and sixth, Alaivan theoretically well in the form was not straightforward to assess but I ended up using seventh home Chris Pea Green as my benchmark and raised Splash of Ginge 8lb to 142. With the benefit of hindsight, his Aintree success three outings back was probably the pointer to this showing, for all it was hard to know just what he’d achieved that day with the second and third home yet to run again. For whatever reason, he then ruined his chance by failing to jump fluently at Ascot the next time behind Irving and then came unstuck over a longer trip at Warwick.
On the juvenile front, the Cheltenham prospects are bubbling up nicely. Broughton confirmed the promise shown at Doncaster when taking the listed John Smith’s Scottish Triumph Trial at Musselburgh, Harristown looks a likely contender for the Fred Winter after taking Huntingdon’s 32Red Hurdle (formerly the Chatteris Fen) and last but certainly not least, Calipto backed up Paul Nicholls’ assertion that he’s the yard’s best juvenile by impressively defying a 10lb penalty and is now rated 149. He is the joint top-rated British juvenile, alongside Le Rocher.
That's the spirit
Dodging Bullets did his Racing Post Arkle prospects no harm despite suffering the first chase defeat of his career in the Grade 2 Betfair Cash Out Game Spirit Chase at soggy Newbury on Saturday, writes John de Moraville.
In fact, in my book, whilst narrowly outgunned by the more experienced Module in a thrilling duel, the six-year-old notched the best performance of his career so far.
Taking third-placed Raya Star (149) as the marker, I have raised Dodging Bullets, who was conceding that rival 5lb, by 1lb to 156.
Module (157), receiving 3lb from the runner-up, was best in at the weights and did not need to run to his mark to win, thereby gaining rich consolation for his last-strides defeat by Somersby in Exeter’s Haldon Gold Cup back in November.
Over at Warwick, Raya Star’s stable companion Balder Succes (151) staked his Arkle claims with a slick-jumping victory in the Grade 2 Star Sports Kingmaker Novices’ Chase. His three-and-a-half-length defeat of Brick Red earned him a 6lb rise to a mark of 151, which is a couple of pounds higher than he’d managed over hurdles. ============================================

WEDNESDAY'S meeting at Clonmel has become the latest casualty of the prolonged spell of wet weather.
No inspection had been planned but heavy overnight rain left parts of the track waterlogged and the meeting was abandoned shortly before 8am on raceday.
With more heavy rain forecast on Wednesday, officials at Leicester have decided to schedule a 7.45am inspection on Thursday for racing the same day.
The track was raceable on Wednesday morning, with the going described as soft, heavy in places.
Thursday's meeting at Thurles also looks in some doubt with a further update expected on Wednesday following heavy rain. ============================================== Clonmel off Bad news from Ireland I'm afraid, heavy overnight rain has left Clonmel waterlogged and today's meeting has been abandoned. ================================================= On the clock Today's meeting at Lingfield features a TurfTrax sectional timing trial. One-furlong fractions will be recorded for each horse along with the finish time of the winner and every runner as it crosses the line. ====================================================== Jockey Coumbe injured in Southwell pile-up MARK COUMBE was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham with suspected back and pelvic injuries after a crashing fall in a two-horse pile-up at Southwell on Tuesday. =================================================== Going to Sandown on Friday? Due to external flooding, the Skew Arch walkway from Esher station through the centre of the course will not be open. ====================================================

14:40 Wednesday 12th February Racing Tips - 12/02/2014
Once again Musselburgh makes a mockery of the ground situation in the south of England by showing off good going, and it's very welcome. Their 2 and a half mile handicap chase sees the likeable Radio Nowhere at the head of the market and he is improving with every run. My only concern with him is that he'll likely be sent forward and will have plenty of company. He's up 4lb from last time and I worry about him seeing this out. This track can suit a front runner and preference of those that will go forward is Lord Of Drums but he could also be vulnerable under a 5lb penalty. Another under a penalty is Pistol Basc but I really like his profile since he moved to Rebecca Menzies and he looks transformed having been fitted with a hood. He is up in class but has won over further and a good pace will suit him coming from just in behind. He's 11/1 and requires a career best at the tender age of 10 but he comes into this in the form of his life and the race will be run to suit. Hotgrove Boy is weighted to win but I'm not sure he'll line up after running yesterday. Musselburgh 14.40 - Pistol Basc 1pt e/w
The following handicap is a 16 runner affair and I've got a shortlist of 6 down to 2. Willie Hall is just too short, Shooting Times will likely want more of a test, Mister D was a little too disappointing on handicap debut, and (though he's 25/1) Sudski Star is perhaps a little high in the weights for debut in this sphere. Preference over him goes to another handicap debutant Ellistrin Belle off 5lb lower. She showed some decent form in 2 contests either side of a summer break before struggling in very good company next time. Heavy ground probably wasn't ideal that day and she looks well treated as a result back on a sounder surface. Watch out for how Plan Again runs in the 2.10, who beat her by 15 lengths last time but ultimately I had her at half her 16/1 price for a yard going well and with a super record here. I can't split her and the progressive Jack Albert at 10/1 who will likely try and make all. He will have company for the lead but that was no hinderance when winning over course and distance on penultimate start and I like his chances of defying a 6lb higher mark, especially with a decent claimer on his back. He saw out the trip encouragingly on that occasion before finding nearly 3 miles on soft ground too much last time out and the yard is another that looks upwardly mobile. Musselburgh 15.15 - Jack Albert 1pt e/w Musselburgh 15.15 - Ellistrin Belle 1pt e/w
Forced Family Fun looks one to take on at Musselburgh this afternoon. He's a classy animal but is up in class, up 8lb, and all that for a narrow victory last time at a track which is likely to have suited him better than this one. A sharp 2 miles on good ground isn't ideal and, while he may be the best horse in the race, I think he's way too short at 9/4. The 2 to take him on with look to be Figaro and Town Mouse with the latter getting the vote purely because he is double the price of the former at 12/1. Figaro may be able to dominate this from the front, though he will have company from Pas Trop Tard. I actually think some competition will be handy given he looked outpaced here back in November and a stronger early gallop will see him to better effect. He certainly looks on a handy mark and will be better for better ground than he had last time when the stable were well out of form. Town Mouse is a tricky bugger and learning all the time but we haven't seen the best of him yet. He won over hurdles at the start of the season proper, having unseated his rider in the paddock on debut and pulling up, before a crazy effort at the end of September where he allowed the field 20 lengths at Market Rasen and still ended up a 10 and a half length 3rd. Royal Irish Hussar won that and is now a 25/1 shot for the Triumph so Neil King's horse has to catch the eye dropped into a Class 3 handicap off 127. He idled when winning last time and still didn't quite settle, something that cost him on penultimate start. He will need a strong pace to help him relax but this track could suit him and, if anything, he's worth support just for the excitement of what he might do. Musselburgh 15.50 - Town Mouse 1pt e/w

WELCOME to our Eyecatchers column. Every week Alan Thomson pinpoints horses primed to strike in the next few weeks, if not days. Remember, you can add Alan's weekly updates to your ATR Tracker.
LIBERTY JACK ATR Tracker (Lingfield, 5th February) Hacked up by seven lengths in a Lingfield maiden last July for Roger Charlton and is gradually re-finding his form for Jim Boyle. The four-year-old was sent off a 20-1 poke for this Class 5 handicap and wasn't knocked about in fourth behind winner Club House. Looking nicely handicapped.
SUPER DUPLEX ATR Tracker (Wolverhampton, 8th February) Was no match for well-treated John Potts but wasn't disgraced in second having met some trouble in running under an inexperienced lady rider. Super Duplex scored off a similar mark at Lingfield last summer and Roger Teal can find him a small race.
CHELTENIAN ATR Tracker (Newbury, 8th February) Ran a stormer in the Betfair Hurdle, finding himself a bit bogged down in the Newbury mud, and will be of interest at the Cheltenham Festival. Impressive winner of the 2011 Champion Bumper on a much sounder surface, Philip Hobbs has got Cheltenian back in A1 condition after his lengthy lay-off.
SWING BOWLER ATR Tracker (Newbury, 8th February) Finished a close-up fifth in the Betfair Hurdle, having claimed third spot the previous year. David Pipe's lightly campaigned mare remains progressive and is another for the Cheltenham shortlist.
SAM WINNER ATR Tracker (Newbury, 8th February) Went down to Smad Place with all guns blazing and looks an ideal type for the four-mile National Hunt Chase. The seven-year-old has a good Cheltenham record (114F0331) and retains much of the ability he showed when finishing fourth (sent off favourite) in the 2011 Triumph Hurdle.
VIGIL ATR Tracker (Leopardstown, 9th February) Plenty of speed in his Flat pedigree (Dansili out of a Sadler's Wells mare) and cruised to victory in what looked a rock-solid bumper. Vigil could prove the best of a strong Dermot Weld team and paid a handsome compliment to his Fairyhouse New Year's Day conqueror Cillian's Return. Vigil clearly benefited from that debut effort and could be even better on a sounder surface.

Barry Geraghty's blog (10 February)
THE IMPRESSIVE VANITEUX TO SIDESTEP CHELTENHAM AND INSTEAD AIM FOR AINTEE
Considering I didn’t have any great volume of rides last week there was a plenty of quality amongst them which is what you want on the build up to the festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree.
I came over to Doncaster for Nicky Henderson on Thursday and went home very pleased with the performance of VANITEUX ATR Tracker in the two and a half mile novices' hurdle.
As you know, this is a horse that I test drove in Ireland before he was bought by Mrs and Mrs Kelvin-Hughes. I liked him then and I like him even more now.
His winning form at Sandown now looks good because he beat Vibrato Valtat who won the listed Plymouth Novices’ Hurdle at Exeter on Sunday.
As for his only defeat at Kempton over Christmas in what was a good race, I thought I was going to win two out but he just missed the last two flights which got him beat at that level.
As I understand it, plans at the moment are to give Cheltenham a swerve and go for the two and a half mile Mersey Novices' Hurdle at the Grand National meeting.
That could be the sensible move because he is a lovely horse but it’s questionable whether he would be mentally mature enough for Cheltenham this year.
Although he’s handled dead ground I think he’d appreciate it better and he’d have the gears for Aintree.
GUITAR PETE ATR Tracker put himself right into the Triumph Hurdle picture with a grand round of jumping in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.
It was his hurdling that won the day for him, so accurate, and he has scope, too. Although he was rated low on the flat Dessie Hughes does a great job with horses like him and gets them schooling plenty and focused on the job.
I think he’ll appreciate Cheltenham and he has already been there when he was second to myself and Royal Irish Hussar in November but I think it’s reasonable to assume that Dessie’s horse has improved a bit because he won well at Leopardstown on Boxing Day.
At the moment I think the one they’ve all got to beat is Le Rocher.
BLACKLOUGH ATR Trackerran a very good race in the two-mile handicap hurdle and just bumped into one in the winner, Never Enough Time, who hacked up.
It’s just possible that my lad might find it a bit easier back over two and a half on better ground.
LYREEN LEGEND ATR Tracker came away with his honour intact in the Hennessy Gold Cup. He was competitive with the winner to two out and just got tired.
I’d say that Last Instalment is going to improve a lot over this season and is a gorgeous horse. He’s going to be a big player in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and at the moment he’s the one I’d fear most with Bobs Worth.
At Newbury in the Betfair Hurdle on Saturday it was simply a case of ROLLING STAR ATR Tracker getting stuck on heavy ground with a heavy weight. He performs like a good horse at home under better conditions.

Sheikh Mohammed has been exonerated from any direct involvement in the Godolphin doping scandal. Sheikh Mohammed: Exonerated from any direct involvement The Emirati ruler and leading owner instructed the former Metropolitan Police chief commissioner Lord Stevens to review the damaging series of reports last year concerning his equestrian operations. The British Horseracing Authority disqualified his trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni for eight years for injecting horses with anabolic steroids, while banned veterinary goods were seized from a Dubai Royal Air Wing flight at Stansted Airport by the UK Border Agency and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate. Other unlicensed products were discovered at Moorley Farm in Newmarket, owned by the Sheikh's Darley Stud operation. The review, which was completed through the global advisory firm Quest, made a number of key findings. It said the seizures at Stansted and Moorley Farm resulted from 'management failings, insufficient oversight, and complacency within the organisation', but confirmed the BHA findings that Mahmood Al Zarooni acted alone in procuring and transporting drugs to the UK. It also said the seized veterinary products are widely used and considered safe and not "illegal" despite being improperly imported to the UK. The quantity of medicines seized at Stansted and Moorley Farm were not considered unusual given the size of the operation, and were a contingency supply, while there no link between the Al Zarooni case and the seizures. The investigation has led to recommendations of stronger management, clearer accountability and better internal communication within the equestrian organisation, as well as the establishment of an internal compliance unit to operate independently within the operation. There should be an independent consultant to review and oversee the horse transport process, and a shared services department for audit and compliance, purchasing and transport as well as a person employed to ensure accountability for the purchase and shipment of veterinary medicine. Lord Stevens said: "Although HH Sheikh Mohammed's equestrian operations are unusual in their size and scope, our review has highlighted the complexities of a regulatory framework that is a challenge for the entire equestrian industry. "Throughout our investigation of the three entirely separate incidents, we have established that no evidence whatsoever exists to suggest that HH Sheikh Mohammed had any knowledge of the purchase, transportation or use of any unregulated medicines. Equally neither did he have any knowledge of the illegal activities of Mahmood Al Zarooni. "Proposing global solutions to reduce confusion and increase compliance with the regulations governing the transport of veterinary medicine is beyond Quest's remit. "However, in our discussions with HH Sheikh Mohammed, he agreed to create a task force of experts to suggest ways to make it easier for all affected stakeholders in the equestrian industry to comply with the regulations. "He will ask the task force to consider the creation of a global database containing country-by-country information on registered products that could be easily accessible to those seeking to transport veterinary medicine. "I am delighted that HH Sheikh Mohammed has asked Quest to extend its remit to oversee this effort."

Tony McCoy expects Jezki to be ridden more prominently than has been the case so far this season when he contests the Stan James Champion Hurdle. Jezki: Change of tactics Jessica Harrington's charge was last of four behind Hurricane Fly in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown last month, but McCoy feels they have been getting their tactics wrong. Whether McCoy will be on board at Cheltenham is another matter though, as he could also ride Nicky Henderson's My Tent Or Yours, who will now head straight to the Festival after skipping a possible prep run at Kelso this week. "Hurricane Fly was very impressive when winning the Irish Champion Hurdle and he is still the one they have to beat at Cheltenham," McCoy wrote on his blog for Cheltenham racecourse. "People will question the form and say Captain Cee Bee was not beaten far, but you have to remember that Hurricane Fly was in trouble coming to the last and still won by a length and a half. "He keeps on winning and until that changes, he is the one to beat. I rode Jezki in the race and we finished fourth, but looking back we have been riding him wrong as he wants two and a half miles and I think positive tactics will see him to much better effect. "If he is more positively ridden in a strong-run Champion Hurdle, then he has definitely got an each-way chance. "JP (McManus) also has My Tent Or Yours in the Champion Hurdle, but I will be leaving a decision on who I ride until the last moment. Things are very much up in the air at the moment and I probably won't make the choice until the day before." A total of 11 horses stood their ground for the race at the latest forfeit stage. Former winner Rock On Ruby, who is on target for the Arkle, the sidelined Cinders And Ashes and Grandouet, another Arkle hope, are no longer under consideration. Willie Mullins has four contenders in Hurricane Fly, Annie Power, Un De Sceaux and Thousand Stars and there were no surprise withdrawals.

Hidden Cyclone has been taken out of the BetVictor Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival with the Ryanair Chase left as his sole option if he runs at the meeting. Hidden Cyclone: Skips the Champion Chase As low as 12-1 for the two-mile championship after finishing second to Benefficient and Sire De Grugy in his last two runs over the trip, his trainer John "Shark" Hanlon feels a step back up in distance would see him in a better light, although no definite decision has been made on his participation. "We just felt that (as) he ran such a good race in the Paddy Power Gold Cup over that trip and with a big weight, he might have more of a chance in the Ryanair," said Hanlon. "On better ground I think he'd stay the trip that bit better. He's not guaranteed to go and nothing is set in stone, but if we went to the Ryanair there would be no Sprinter Sacre or Sire De Grugy. "I think he's better going left-handed, it certainly helps his jumping. "Benefficient looks like being favourite for the Ryanair if Cue Card runs in the Gold Cup, and I think we could beat Benefficient on better ground. There's no big decision yet, though." Likely Arkle contender Dodging Bullets and Twinlight were also taken out of the Champion Chase. There were just four forfeits in the Ryanair, with Willie Mullins' Marito the most notable omission.

14:25 Thursday 13th February Racing Tips - 13/02/2014
The ground at Kelso looks likely to worsen given the forecast and you'd expect it will be genuinely soft come off time. That will suit the top 3 on the card and the race looks to be between them. Rockawango is probably pick of the prices but I'm a touch surprised to see him turning up at this track after what his trainer had to say on penultimate start. This could be on the sharp side for him and last time was a touch disappointing, though he doesn't seem to enjoy Haydock. Croco Bay will like it here but does have quite a penalty to defy and a little more leniently treated and more progressive is Firth Of The Clyde. The yard has really hit form and the treble seeking 9 year old can defy an 8lb penalty. He's just 2/1 but I'd argue that's decent value and the more rain the better. Kelso 14.25 - Firth Of The Clyde 3pt win
I'm contemplating taking on Long Run today…contemplating. The Morebattle Hurdle is a nice, tight contest and, of the top 4 in the betting, I want to put a line through Upsilon Bleu. He faded tamely at Newbury and, though returning to hurdles may help, the yard is struggling and I fancy he should be clear 4th favourite. Special Catch has impressed this year but he effectively has half a stone to find with the top rated in the field and this is a real step up on what he's shown to date. It's a surprise to see him vying for favouritism. Of the other two I really can't split them and so want to side with whichever is bigger in the market. That means last year's winner Duke Of Navan gets the vote at 7/2 and he will appreciate softening ground. It was quite notable how quickly the ground cut up again at Musselburgh yesterday and the same today at Kelso would not be ideal for Doyly Carte. She is 2lb better off with the top-weight than she would be in a handicap and has put in 2 game efforts this term behind Rolling Star and Annie Power. That course form of the selection is notable, however (2 from 2), and I'd just have him at favourite, especially if we are officially soft before racing. Kelso 15.25 - Duke Of Navan 2pt win
Rydalis dropping back in trip at Leicester is interesting but she is hard to back these days and that mark isn't coming down. Benefit Cut was very impressive on his second start over fences last time and turns out here under a penalty. He jumped impeccably 9 days ago and will be tough to beat. Things are unlikely to go his way however, given the presence of at least 2 other confirmed from runners and, on heavyish ground, this is likely to be a bit of a slog. Cloudy Bob has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is a dual heavy ground winner. He was staying on at Ascot last time and should appreciate this stiffer test. He has a 9lb pull with the favourite for just a length between them at Ascot and makes most appeal at 7/2. Leicester 15.40 - Cloudy Bob 2pt win
It looks worth opposing Renard D'Irlande at Leicester over 3 miles on heavy ground. 2 and a half miles and he'd win this but he faded last time over shorter than today and conditions will not be in his favour. He was staying on over 3 miles at Kempton a year ago on better ground but he is 3lb higher for this on heavy ground and as short as 2/1. Titchwood should probably be favourite given his potential as a staying chaser but has a bit to prove in conditions after last time and I'd rather side with top-weight Knock A Hand for a yard in really good form and a jockey band on song. He loves heavy ground and drops to his last winning mark. That was in a small field but also in a good time and a bit of company for the lead form Tullyraine might be no bad thing. Currently 7/2, he looks to have been a touch overlooked for this up against some higher profile horses and it'll be a good deal easier than the Welsh National and a Grade 2 novice chase. Leicester 16.10 - Knock A Hand 2pt win

Lingfield Park, 12 February 2014
The Stewards gave permission for the runners to be mounted in the pre-parade ring in races 2 to 7 because the parade ring was flooded.
1.30, first race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of SHANNON HAVEN (IRE), which dead-heated for first place, ridden by Stephen Craine and trained by Daniel Loughnane, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer, who stated that the gelding had benefited from the step up in trip on its handicap debut. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of SHANNON HAVEN (IRE) could be reviewed.
2.30, third race
The Stewards noted that BERTIE BABY, unplaced, had interfered with BIKINI CLUB, unplaced, at the six-furlong marker, but after viewing a recording of the race they were satisfied that it did not involve a riding offence.
3.05, fourth race
The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner, KEEP KICKING (IRE), ridden by Jim Crowley and trained by Simon Dow, compared with the gelding’s previous run at Lingfield on 22 January 2014, where it finished seventh of nine runners, beaten 29 lengths. They noted the trainer’s explanation that on that occasion the gelding was unsuited by the drop back in trip to 1 mile 5 furlongs and the race may have come too soon after winning five days earlier.
4.15, sixth race
The Stewards noted that ZAEEM, placed fourth, had interfered with SEASIDE ROCK (IRE), unplaced, which in turn interfered with MAHADEE (IRE), unplaced, on the run to the line, but after viewing a recording of the incident they were satisfied that it neither involved a riding offence nor improved ZAEEM’s placing.
4.45, seventh race
The Stewards held an enquiry under Rule (B)11.6 into possible interference inside the final furlong. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that MIDNIGHT FEAST, placed second, ridden by Louis Steward, had interfered with CATHEDRAL, placed third, ridden by Ali Rawlinson, and that the interference had not improved MIDNIGHT FEAST’s placing. They ordered the placings to remain unaltered. The Stewards found Steward in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding, in that he had allowed his horse to drift right without sufficient correction They suspended him for 3 days as follows: Wednesday 26, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 February 2014.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference approaching the furlong marker. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that TIMOTHY T, unplaced, ridden by Jack Garritty, had interfered with HIERARCH (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Paige Ranger. The Stewards found Garritty in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding, in that he had allowed his horse to drift left. They suspended him for 1 day as follows: Wednesday 26 February 2014.
12/02/2014
Musselburgh, 12 February 2014
3.20, fourth race
The Stewards held an enquiry following a report from the Clerk of the Scales that Colm McCormack, the rider of JACK ALBERT (IRE), placed second, had weighed in at 10st 4lb having weighed out at 10st 2lb. They interviewed the rider, Dianne Sayer, the trainer and the Clerk of the Scales. Having heard their evidence the Stewards found the rider in breach of Rule (B)67.4.3 and suspended him for 3 days as follows: Wednesday 26, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 February 2014.
3.55, fifth race
The Stewards noted that ROMAN FLIGHT (IRE), placed second, had interfered with TOWN MOUSE, unplaced, who in turn interfered with FORCED FAMILY FUN, unplaced, on the bend leaving the back straight, but after viewing a recording of the incident they were satisfied that it neither involved a riding offence nor improved ROMAN FLIGHT (IRE)’s placing.
12/02/2014
Kempton Park, 12 February 2014
5.15, first race
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, MY RENNAISSANCE, ridden by Rob J.Fitzpatrick, and trained by Ben Case, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer who stated that the gelding had benefitted from the step up in trip. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of MY RENNAISSANCE could be reviewed.
5.45, second race
The Stewards held an enquiry into the fall of John Lawson, the rider of GREAT CONQUEST (USA), in the first furlong. They were unable to interview Lawson owing to his injuries. Having viewed recordings of the incident the Stewards were satisfied that the incident was accidental, and therefore took no further action.
6.15, third race
The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner SANDFRANKSKIPSGO, ridden by George Baker and trained by Peter Crate, compared with its previous run at Kempton on 8 January 2014 where the gelding finished seventh beaten by 5 1/2 lengths. They noted the trainer’s explanation that the gelding had benefitted from running in a lower class of race and had been better suited by the stronger pace. They ordered SANDFRANKSKIPSGO to be routine tested.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference on the first bend. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that there was interference between ONLY TEN PER CENT (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Stephen Craine, and DESERT STRIKE, placed second, ridden by Hayley Turner, but were unable to apportion blame.
6.45, fourth race
The Stewards noted that interference took place between CHOOKIE’S LASS, unplaced, LADY IN BLUE (IRE), unplaced, SPREADABLE (IRE), placed second, PRISCA, unplaced, and LITTLE BIG MAN, unplaced, shortly after the start, but after viewing a recording of the race they were satisfied that it did not involve a riding offence.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference between PRISCA, unplaced, ridden by William Carson, and LITTLE BIG MAN, unplaced, ridden by Louis Steward, after the finishing line. Having heard their evidence they found that the interference was accidental.
8.15, seventh race
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference approaching the furlong marker. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that SWEET TALKING GUY (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by George Baker, had interfered with CLIMAXFORTACKLE (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Joe Fanning. The Stewards found Baker in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his mount to drift left. They cautioned him as to his future conduct in races.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference on the run to the line. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that the winner NEW RICH, ridden by George Downing, had interfered with SECRET MILLIONAIRE, unplaced, ridden by Luke Morris. The Stewards found Downing in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his mount to drift left. They cautioned him as to his future conduct in races.

12/02/2014 =================================================== Disciplinary Panel Enquiries
PAUL MOLONEY - Appeal
CATTERICK BRIDGE FOURTH JANUARY MEETING, 2014 The Free Racedays With The Racegoers Club Novices’ Handicap Chase
The Disciplinary Panel of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) on 10 February 2014 considered an appeal lodged by Paul Moloney, the rider of FITANDPROPERJOB, placed fourth in the Free Racedays With The Racegoers Club Novices’ Handicap Chase, against the decision of the Stewards at Catterick on 31 January 2014 to suspend Moloney for 3 days. The suspension was as a result of a finding of a breach of Rule (B)67.4.3 of the Rules of Racing in that he had weighed in at 3lb over the weight at which he had weighed out.
The Panel heard from the BHA and Moloney, who was legally represented.
The Panel noted that the extremely wet weather conditions on the day had caused all the riders in the race to weigh-in by at least 1lb over the weight at which they had weighed-out with the exception of Moloney who weighed-in 3lbs heavy. However it was noted that Moloney, as opposed to the other riders in the race, had not worn waterproof breeches or a waterproof top.
In reaching its decision, the Panel took into account that in a later race the Clerk of Scales had recommended no action should be taken when the jockeys weighed-in 2lbs or more heavier than that which they weighed-out due to the weather which was accepted by the Stewards.
The Panel therefore upheld Moloney’s appeal and quashed the finding of a breach of Rule (B)67.4.3 and the 3 day suspension. ===============================================

Celestial Halo and Zarkandar will both be in action this weekend as they attempt to form what trainer Paul Nicholls feels will be his back-up for Big Buck's in next month's Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham. Celestial Halo: Heading to Haydock While four-time staying champion Big Buck's was sidelined last season, Celestial Halo formed an able deputy as he ran second behind Solwhit at the Festival, and after his most recent appearance winning the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury, he will compete in the Betfred Mobile (Rendlesham) Hurdle at Haydock. Daryl Jacob is set to partner Zarkandar over the minimum trip in the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton, and Nicholls believes the former Triumph and Aintree Hurdle winner could be an interesting proposition when finally stepping up to three miles on March 13. "Celestial Halo got an infection in a front foot after Newbury and we need to get a run into him before the World Hurdle," said Nicholls. "There was a choice of running over three at Haydock or two at Wincanton, where he's won before. He's going to run at Haydock and Sam Twiston-Davies is going to ride him. "Zarkandar wants a run to put him right for the World Hurdle and it will be a test of stamina against Melodic Rendezvous at Wincanton. "He has run well twice behind Annie Power and if he stays three miles I think we'll have a lot of fun with him over the next few years as he's not big enough to jump a fence. "I've spoken to Andy Stewart (owner of Big Buck's and Celestial Halo) and I'd imagine Daryl will ride Zarkandar at Cheltenham, as Halo is 10 already and he's not going to get any better." Those are, of course, not his only two challengers, and Big Buck's looked in gleaming condition at a press event at Nicholls' Somerset stable on Thursday morning. No longer in the shadows of the retired Kauto Star and Denman, Big Buck's finally relinquished a record-breaking 18-race winning streak over hurdles when caught by Knockara Beau in last month's Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham. "We could have three or four runners in the race," Nicholls said. "I've a mind to keep Saphir Du Rheu for chasing but Salubrious will go for the National Spirit at Fontwell first. "Big Buck's is the main one, though. My feeling is that his run at Cheltenham was as good a run first-time-out as the last five seasons. "It was a more competitive race and he just got tired halfway up the run-in. "At the end of the day, if you think I wanted him at his best in January, think again. I only want him for one day next month and I'm happy where he is at the moment. "He lost 10kg, he's tightened up and I think he looks absolutely fantastic."

My Tent Or Yours is the star attraction in the kempton.co.uk "Jumpers' Bumper" National Hunt Flat Race at Kempton on Sunday. My Tent Or Yours: Set for Kempton Trained by Nicky Henderson, the JP McManus-owned seven-year-old has won the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle and the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton this season, beating The New One on Boxing Day. Henderson last week ruled out a possible trip to Wincanton for this weekend's Kingwell Hurdle due to the prevailing heavy ground, and decided against a trip to Scotland for the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso. Speaking at the Grand National weights lunch on Tuesday, Henderson said: "He's in very good form, everything has been great. "We sort of thought we'd like a race. We didn't enter him in the Kingwell but we toyed with going to Kelso for the Morebattle. "Therefore Kempton will come into the equation, maybe even a couple of times. "It's just to get the freshness out of him a little bit, otherwise he can get a little bit keen early on in his races." Others among an entry of 50 for the race are the Philip Hobbs-trained Menorah, Henderson's Rajdhani Express and the all-weather star La Estrella.

Michael Atxxxxer is hoping George Guru's consistency will be rewarded in the £19,000 Ladbrokes Handicap over a mile at Lingfield Park on Saturday, February. The seven-year-old was last seen finishing strongly to take fifth behind Alfred Hutchinson over seven furlongs at the Surrey track last month, when he was only beaten two lengths. Prior to that, he was hampered in a mile handicap won by Birdman at the same course on January 12, having finished third in three consecutive handicaps at Kempton Park. He is drawn in stall five and Robert Havlin rides. Epsom-based Atxxxxer reported: "George Guru is in fantastic form. His work has been very good this week, so we will be pretty hopeful on Saturday. "We thought he was unlucky in that good handicap last time. Unfortunately, he was drawn wide and the only way to get him tucked in was settling him at the back, but he was making ground so fast up the straight and just ran out of time. "He was dropped a pound for that which was kind enough because he was an eye-catching finisher. "The step up to a mile will help him on Saturday and it's a slightly less competitive race. He has always been competitive in this kind of race - he tends to win one each year - and I think his turn is very near." A maximum field of 12 is headed by top-weight Luhaif, who has run two good races since joining Julia Feilden, decisive Ascot scorer Consign and the hat-trick seeking Rebellious Guest. Also engaged are Spa's Dancer, lightly-raced five-year-old Talented Kid, Royal Prize and Lord Of The Shadows.

Saturday outlook Hopes remain high that Saturday's big meetings at Ascot and Haydock will defy the elements. It's soft, heavy in places at Ascot after a dry night and heavy at Haydock. More rain is expected at both tracks today. ============================================ Love is in the air With today being Valentine’s Day, coincidence backers will be throwing a few quid on Dazzling Valentine at Wolverhampton later. The course-and-distance winner goes in the fillies’ handicap at 7.05. ========================================================

14:45 Friday 14th February Racing Tips - 14/02/2014
A match between Elenika and Full Ov Beans a few years ago would have seen the latter at a double figure price but not so today. Elenika should skate this on old form but he is becoming tricky to win with and I wouldn't touch him at 2/1. Michael Gates has a treble seeking 2-time course and distance winner who won easily last time, even with his closest challenger falling at the last. This is way up in class but the time was good last time given similar conditions he will encounter today and he has just 10-1 on his back. 11/4 is the price to be on given he is biggest of the top 3 in the betting. If this was Market Rasen then Taffy Thomas, who was put up here a few weeks ago and fell two out, would get the vote. In truth this track is not dissimilar but he is still up in class and a little too short. I nearly put up Itoldyou in the previous race but thought he'd be a little bigger than 5/1... Fakenham 14.45 - Full Ov Beans 1pt win
