Plus 4 and dry when driving in. Relief to see no snow on the high ground.

Crabbie's and Aintree did a pretty good job entertaining us yesterday at The Sky Garden.

Nick Luck and Cornelius Lysaght interviewed and compared while Laura Wright sang. Stunning location and what views..the helicopters were flying past at the same height.. the down side the acoustics were dreadful so listening to the interviews was not easy unless you were sat under the microphone. ...talking sitting.. I was placed between Dominic Hart (head of sport Mirror group)and Patrick Weaver (racing editor Daily Express) with Jason and Lauren Maguire, Ewan McAlpine, Clare and Tony Calvin also on the table.

The Last Samuri has been allotted 10.8 which is a ideal weight. TLS will now run at Doncaster on March 5 in The Grimthorpe Chase and then head to Aintree. In a perfect world.

David Bass was in for a couple of lost this morning. We worked many and a video can be seen here. A video of a few schooling can be seen here.

Elsie: "Goodness gracious!...so you are telling me I shouldn't go?"

Edna: "No, No, No!...I'm just saying wear an old dress
