Started of wild and windy in West Sussex this morning on what is a special day. Today is our Head Girls birthday!! So HUGE Happy Birthday to Kirsty Huff !! Cake and fizz later.


Today Kirsty heads of to Lingfield with two runners and joing her today is Ollie Goldstein who has just joined us following on completing his course at The British Racing School in Newmarket. Ollie joined us on the 2nd of december and has settled in very well already rididng out three or four lots a day. It is no doubt in his blood. Today is his first day racing, so lets hope its a good one.


Our first runner needs no introduction "Aworkinprogress" owned by the great man. He is on great form and we know he loves Lingfield , so fingers crossed for another good run. Cava as we call him at home will be ridden by James Davies. He runs in the

2:12Lingfield18 DEC 2024 SKY2m7½f (2m7f110y) Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Handicap Chase (Class 4) (4yo+ 0-110) and nine runners go to post. Good Luck to connections and Team Gifford.


Our second runner is "Ami Bondu" for owners Paul Bowtell & J.D. Shinton. Pepe as we call him at home is just taking a bit longer to settle in to hurdling, he is a very buzzy french bred , so the aim is to get him to settle and in to a rhythm today and build on his experience. He will need further in the future once he is jumping and settling in to a rhyhtm. So hopefully a good clear round, not pulling James arms out and galloping all the way to the line is what we want to see today. Ami Bondhu runs in the 3:22Lingfield18 DEC 2024 SKY2m attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) (3yo+ 0-105)

and seven horses go to post .

Good Luck to Team Gifford, Connections and Merry Christmas to all
