A slightly damp start to the day, however it seems to be brightening up throughout the morning. Paul and Tom jumped Checkitout, Louse Talk, Highway Girl, Treackle Tart and Vivas.
We also had Racing TV presenter Alex Steedman in to ride out!
The Steed is back. First morning in the saddle for 10 months and rode one for Her Majesty ?@CharlieLongsdon?. As you do. Might be a little sore tomorrow mind. pic.twitter.com/oxw83pzxyt

Eclair On Line runs this afternoon at Wetherby, the ground and course should suit him, he won his point to point on yeilding to soft at Loughbrickland in good style. He has schooled well at home and at Warwick.
Loose Chips has been declared for his seasonable debut at Carlisle tomorrow, before he returns to Sandown next month, he retains his enthusiasm for racing and is 5lbs better off than he was, this time last season. Paul O'Brien rides for The Barrels Of Courage.
Wilberdragon runs at Wincanton, he should enjoy the ground and has won round Wincanton two seasons ago, he is back over fences after two runs over hurdles. Aunty Ann won the race last year so fingers crossed Wilberdragon can make it a second win for Team Longsdon. Aidan Coleman rides for The Don Sebastiao Partnership.
