Its the Gulf of Bahrain Cup today at 3.45pm over 1m 6f and we have sent over SAMUI. He travelled over without any problems has been enjoying the warmer weather ! He was last seen when winning over hurdles in Punchestown. This versatile horse is a previous winner on the Flat too and was placed in Royal Ascot. His draw is ok in stall 8 and he has a positive Jockey booking in James Doyle. He is wearing the tongue tie and cheek pieces and has a great each way chance

We return to Cheltenham today for day 1 of the November meeting with 1 runner

FIRST ASCENT runs in the last race at 4pm The Valda Energy Novices Handicap Hurdle. He easily won his maiden hurdle in September in Kilbeggan. He wears the tongue tie and cheek pieces as before.
