Call Me Early
Had a productive first season with us (winning three of his four point-to-points) and is a classy type of horse with a good turn of foot. We ran him in the Aintree bumper but that didn't work out but he’s still eligible for Restricteds with a penalty, and a Hunter Chase towards the end of the season should Hopefully be on his radar. We’re aiming for the first Horseheath meeting.
Cheytac
Finished the season much better than he started it. He was very sick after travelling over from Ireland, and consequently bled badly first time out at Horseheath. It took him a while to get over that and he really lost his confidence but was then second to (prolific winner) El Capitaine before winning his next two. Needs to brush up his jumping but he's a big scopey horse who can only improve with time.
Entity Of Substanz
Bought privately out of Dan Skelton's during the summer. He has some decent form under rules without winning, so he's still eligible for Maidens and is hopefully a horse who can progress through the grades. From the same family as Eva's Oscar and Solomon Grey – his relations have tended to improve for fences and he's not jumped any yet. Another targeting the first Horseheath meeting.
Fumet D'Oudairies
Back from injury. He needs no introduction, having been a phenomenal little horse for us (11 wins from 14 starts in points and Hunter Chases) and, if he never wins another race it won't matter, but the form he's in suggests he still retains all his enthusiasm and hopefully plenty of ability. He will be ready to run around Christmas.
The Den Master
A 4yo we thought a hell of a lot of last season. He was big, raw and weak still and – in retrospect – we shouldn’t have run him, but we did, and he was fourth at Buckfastleigh. We still think he has huge potential and the plan is to go to the early Garthorpe meeting.
