Obviously feel sorry for West Country race fans but a northern Friday bonus at Aintree today. An excellent level of cloud cover so far.

And a hunch that, from later this month, more active courses would want to protect their pre-Christmas racedays which would have better hospitality and the Christmas fixtures themselves which are important to the business model.

Seen criticism of today's additional at Plumpton; clearly it has struggled Our objective is to use the best ground available to support the programme & population. That has largely worked to date but as we get deeper into Nov the challenge is unfortunately developing, not fading

Enjoyable day's learning at Sedgefield. One of my favourite binocular views at any racecourse is the climb out of the back straight past the farm. It's delightful.
