A trio of new horses have been welcomed into the fold at Ditcheat, all from the point to point field. Here are some introductions...
Rocky Creek: Is a full brother to Tell Massini. He won his debut point in Ireland, beating a horse of Paul Barber's called Rolling Aces. Paul was there watching and was suitably impressed, and managed to buy the horse after the race. He may have one run in a novice hurdle this season but is obviously one for the future.
No Loose Change: Is a six-year-old who won his maiden point to point in Ireland. Tom Malone bought him privately for me and may run in a 3m novice hurdle before going chasing.
Harry The Viking: Won a maiden point at Larkhill, where a horse of mine that I think a bit of, Mendip Express, finished third. I was impressed with him, and we managed to buy him afterwards - he used to be trained by the same connections that we bought What A Friend off. Is due to run in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow in a fortnight.
