Captain Djakadam at the helm as we set sail for Cheltenham

We will be starting to ship our Cheltenham team across the Irish Sea on Saturday, with more following on Sunday and others maybe waiting until Monday. We're very happy with where we stand with all our horses and there is very little left to do other than getting all of them there in good shape.

It's always a huge relief for me and the staff when we get the first batch of horses aboard the ferry, on their way and safely delivered. When they get to Cheltenham it will be a case of keeping everything ticking over.

For myself and the owners there are still plenty of decisions to be made about which races different horses will run in and who will ride them.
