Recent Results – Three Week’s Return At Chelmsford And Funny Man 3rd At Redcar
Three Weeks made his reappearance in the Bet Totescoop6 At Totesport.com handicap at Chelmsford on Friday night. Ridden by David Probert he was put in a handy position in 2nd throughout and travelled well until the final 3 furlongs where he was ultimately a spent force turning for home. He was entitled to need this race after a lengthy break, he is clearly a better horse around Southwell so we will be heading back there and it looks like his future lies abroad. He is safe and well and hopefully he can continue to progress further with a bit more time. Funny Man's winning sequence came to and end on Saturday afternoon when finishing 3rd in the William Hill Leading Racecourse Bookmaker Handicap at Ripon. Ridden by Daniel Tudhope he was held up in the early stages and was on and off the bridle throughout, which has been his style of racing for much of this season. When brought wide turning for home for a clear run, Funny Man struggled to handle the ridges and contours of Ripon and this big and long striding horse struggled to pick up at a vital stage in the race. However, he has still ran a mighty race and finished strongly to push for second at the line. There a signs there that Funny Man has still not finished progressing yet and hopefully he can regain the winning thread soon.

Funny Man Bids For The Four Timer At Ripon On Saturday Afternoon
Funny Man bids for the four timer on Saturday afternoon at Ripon in the 4:55 William Hill Leading Racecourse Bookmaker Handicap. He steps back down in trip to 1m4f following his victory at Lingfield last time, he was workmanlike that day only getting on top inside the final furlong. Hopefully he will have learnt plenty for that hard fought win. Funny Man is now running off a 16lb higher mark than when he started his winning sequence and even though things are going to get tougher for him we are hopeful he can continue to progress and rate higher yet. David Nolan rides and hopefully he can extend his winning sequence.
Three Weeks Declared 8:15 Chelmsford On Friday Evening
Three Weeks is declared for Chelmsford on Friday Evening for the 8:15 Bet totescoop At totescoop.com handicap. He is returning from a 139 day break following a solid performance earlier this year in the listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton when finishing sixth behind some smart performers. He is ready to start off his season again and even though he will come on plenty for the run, we are hopeful he can be competitive in this race off a mark of 92. David Probert takes the ride and this seems an ideal opportunity for Three Week's return to action.
Joss’s Jewels Result – Saturday 10th August – It Was One Hell Of A Run For Ananya In The Circumstances
NAP – Ananya 3:45 Newmarket (14/1 advised) 7/1 5th Undoubtedly Ananya was unlucky when finishing 5th in the Sweet Solera Stakes. She was well backed and started half the price of the odds advised on Thursday so there was some market confidence around for her. Unfortunately Ananya missed the break by approximately 10 lengths according to racing post comments, for her to beat just over 3 lengths in the end. There is no doubt she should of finished closer if breaking on terms, and there is evidence to suggest she might as well have won. In the circumstances she has produced one hell of a run for an inexperienced filly and stepping up to a mile looks sure to suit going forward. Another thing to take out of the race is that its a first stakes winner for rookie sire Golden Horn. His daughter West End Girl won the race for the Mark Johnston team and coincidently is a form boost for one of our fillies Lola Paige, whom she beat at Haydock on her debut.

Gallaside Follows Up His Newcastle Win At Nottingham
Gallaside follows up his Newcastle novice win at Nottingham on Nursery debut. Running off an opening mark of 77 proved lenient as he dictated the race from start to finish under a well judged front running ride from Hollie Doyle. The step up to the mile for the first time seemed to help Gallaside who looks sure to need further than that in time. The plan going forward is to let Gallaside progress naturally as whatever he is doing at this stage is a bonus. Archie Watson has done a fantastic job at placing him thus far.
