An exciting horse and his enthusiasm can sometimes make life interesting, but he’s very talented and has already won five hurdle races, including the Dovecote. Was fifth in the American Grand National last month and runs in the Colonial Cup at Camden racecourse in South Carolina on Saturday. It’s a race our former inmate Dawalan won last year and Days will then come back to England. I think he’s smart.

Hopefully a horse who has a big future over fences. He was a very exciting novice hurdler but unfortunately picked up a hind-leg injury when winning at Ayr, so didn’t reappear last season until February when he put up a stunning performance to win a very competitive Ascot handicap by miles. We missed Cheltenham and waited for the Stayers’ Hurdle at Aintree, but that was a big disappointment and we put him away for the season. The real excitement now begins.
