To say Mon Parrain was a disappointment yesterday would be a gross understatement.  He was a shadow of the horse we saw at Sandown in March, and fitness couldn't have been an issue as the stable have hit the ground running this season.  4pt each way lost on him yesterday.  Shallow Bay faded late on after travelling nicely throughout the race.  Mull of Killough was the only success for us,running well in second, finishing 3 parts of a length off the winner.
Will take a good turn around from here, to return profit for the fourth consecutive quarter.  However, I'm confident that's acheivable, hopefully starting today with another good card at Cheltenham
