A better start to the day but still not the glorious sunshine that the South are basking in.
Midge Mullen (pictured) endured 5 lots in the freezing fog yesterday all while getting messages from home telling him it was t-shirt weather!
Newcastle didn’t go at all well yesterday. Traditional Dancer quite firmly told us that National Hunt is definitely no longer “his thing”. You’ve no idea how frustrating this is. Mr Dalgleish has invested a lot of money and patience into resolving any issues we thought he might have had and we have put a lot of time into “sweeting him up”. He’s so talented too! This morning I will discuss the option of running him on the flat. Something Brewing picked up a bit of an injury mid race so he has a fair excuse. We’ll get him 100% again and wait for summer hurdling options. He’s particularly fond of a sunny day at Bangor!

starts at 10.30 this morning. I expect Blowing Dixie will go through the ring about noon. Kayleigh has reported that there’s been some good interest in him so far. There’s two lots later in the catalogue that I’m keen to purchase.
I’ve a steady morning planned on the gallop. Conor is in so we’ll sit down and look at some of the April National Hunt entries.
Now, to fool or not to fool?”
