VERY early start today at work, so there is no way that I could fit in any exercise. It looks like it may be a long day too, so perhaps training at all today is going to be an issue. May have to give it a miss completely. Shame...

David England

Was sad to hear of David England's bad fall in the novice chase at Exeter yesterday. Sounded horrendous from what a lot of people have been saying, but it seems he's on the mend, released from hospital and will be back on Friday (story here). That's great news and best wishes for your recovery, David!

Spoke to Ambrose Princess' trainer earlier. It seems she's all set and ready for action! I'm riding her for the last time before the race on Sunday. I'm so looking forward to it, but at the same time I realise how close it is!! But it's great to hear that Princess is raring to go; that bit more confidence could make all the difference!
