Wednesday 2nd October

There are a few decent options for us to attack today, we hope that Nottingham will pass an early Inspection, it is their Season Finals Day today which suggests an extra effort may be forthcoming to get the Fixture on. We also have some mud lovers at Catterick and a couple who Michael feels are "due" at Sligo over the Jumps.
 
A glut of Trackers for those who like to keep an eye on them, although in the underfoot conditions on the mainland an investment is not really suggested.
 
I've a couple of articles Ian wrote last weekend regarding the number of non runners in heavy conditions and changes to Cheltenham Festival for 2025, the former is being updated by Ian today and will be published tomorrow given events of the past few days and the latter will be published now on Sunday as part of a Feature looking ahead to the start of the Autumn NH season, after the "phony war" of the Summer Jumping and again the wet weather is a feature of that article as it suggests it may be an earlier than usual start thie October over the JUmps for some of the bigger NH stables.
