Nothing major to report today but we are, thankfully, still heading in the right direction. Kauto once again had his physio and his hour on the walker. And then he had a half-speed 10f canter with Big Buck's and then a canter up the hill with him, too. In fact, all my Cheltenham horses did the same routine - so Kauto did everything the other Festival horses did today. Clifford is still smiling and at one point I thought he was going to do Kauto's box roll for him!

[b]A fantastic tribute to my legendary chaser as the race that Denman so memorably won in 2008 is to be renamed in his honour.[/b] With the likes of Kauto Star, Master Minded and Big Buck's in the stable, I am lucky enough to NOT be able to say that Denman is a once-in-lifetime-horse for me and the team here at Ditcheat. But of course [b]Denman is a legend[/b] - and I dare say he will always be the favourite for many in the yard, and fans in general, because of his attritional and confrontational style of racing - and myself and his owner Paul Barber were very proud to be told by [b]Betfair[/b] today that Denman is to have a race named after him at Newbury. And Newbury is a very fitting course, too. Not only is it one of my favourite tracks, but Denman didn't seem to mind it ...
