Laurens has been covered by Invincible spirit, this sees the hopes of a thoroughly well bred foal with some unarguable form from both sire and dam. Racing can be hopeful that we do see this horse on the track. However Laurens was also strangely dropped a pound by the handicappers earlier this week which most likely was by mistake. Perhaps it's trying to tempt her back into racing.
Hollie Doyle is on fire with all these trebles she's having its making it difficult to back against her in any race. She's building on the success of last season riding the most winners in a season for a female jockey. It looks like she will be again trying to extend the record that she beat of over 107 winners in a season. Clearly one to keep an eye on. Similarly Ben Curtis is still under unstoppable form even extending his wins to further afield, being victorious at Meydan Races.
Tiger Roll has its third entry in the Grand National. This is exciting news for Grand National day if he does go on to run. Winning this would make him even more of a racing legend and he would have firmly cemented his place in racing history. I personally think that he can take on the challenge and he has already put himself up there with Red Rum, so there is nothing to loose.
There is also the hope from Paddy Brennan that gum shields should be made compulsory for jumps racing. He believes it is vital for the safety of the jockeys. Even saying 'it can save lives', he believes it should be repeatedly talked about until its mandatory. Brennan will continue to reach out to the BHA.
