Thursday 2nd September - Epsom
Barliffey took his time as usual to come out of the stalls but made up ground and finished 2nd again!
Thursday 26th August - Lingfield
Dark Eyes was disappointing, rearing in the stalls and missed the break, she came into season just before the race and didn't have her mind on the job.
Southern Cape ran well to finish 2nd, being beaten by a well handicapped horse.
Sunday 22nd August
Jovial finished 4th, just beaten for 3rd on his first outing over 1m 4f. Probably didn't quite get home but will come on from the run and will be dropped to 1m 2f next time.

Saturday 14th August
Gra Adhmhar finished 5th of 12 at Lingfield, respectable run.
