The horses remain in top form and we have been knocking on the door this week with our four runners coming 3rd, 4th, 3rd and 3rd. Monkey Glas ran into some tough opponents in his claiming race on Sunday, with the winner notching up his 13th victory. Our colt led for most of the way before getting into a battle for the lead and being headed inside the final furlong, just losing 2nd place before the line. He has come home fit and well and will be back out in the next week or two. Nobelix was our 4th placed runner and he ran well at Wolverhampton last Friday night. Jeremy had his suspicions that the horse may not be the kind that handles two races close together and, although he won incredibly easily the Friday beforehand (he is pictured being led in), it would seem that he does go better fresh. He has been dropped 1lb following the run and will probably be out again in January.
