A dear loving son, father, brother and uncle with many friends. He was sadly taken from us far too early. He was a kind loving man who enjoyed a pint of Strongbow with his friends. He was loved by so many people and will be missed always. Rest in eternal peace Lee until we meet again my love, fly high and God bless.

Karl Burke’s newcomer POKER fetched an eye-watering 4,300,000 guineas as a yearling and this son of the late Wootton Bassett is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of the progressive Gaurdman, who shaped well when third at Windsor Both Aerial Silk and Ziata also need factoring into this intriguing novice.

We have agreed with our vets that the screen should be erected, whenever a horse requires veterinary treatment on the course. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.
Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.
Whatever you’re celebrating – a birthday, anniversary or engagement; family gathering or garden party, we’ve got a broad range of unusual, awe-inspiring and spacious facilities for you to choose from.

PLAY SMARTER
The vote goes to ROLAND GARROS, who gave it a good shot from the front on debut for his new yard in an amateur riders’ handicap over 11.6f here last time. He remains feasibly treated up 2lb and promises to be suited bythis stiffertest.Taritino has returned to form with creditable efforts at Newburyand Salisburythe lasttwice, and he could be a biggerthreatthan recentwide-margin Bath winnerAlpine Stroll. Another with possibilities in this competitive handicap is Red Derek.
