UK Racing News.......Top Stories
Sherwood Talks Deputy Dan
Trainer Oliver Sherwood has said that Deputy Dan could be a 'serious contender' in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, if the going is 'Soft'. The six-year old is a general 16/1 for the Neptune, although a decision on the shorter contest, or the Albert Bartlett, will not be made until much nearer the festival.
Deputy Dan had picked up an injury when winning at Warwick but is back in training.
Paul Nicholls Waits On The Weather Outcome
Paul Nicholls believes he has two well handicapped horses for the Betfair Hurdle on Saturday, in Irving and Irish Saint, but which one will run is all dependant on the weather.
According to Nicholls, the more it rains, the better for Irish Saint, and the less likely that Irving will line up.
On Monday, Nicholls said, 'Irish Saint relished the testing ground and hosed in at Ascot.' Nicholls also added, 'The handicapper raised him 12 lbs, but he only has a 5 lb penalty, so he's nicely in, and you can see why he's favourite (7/1).'
Morning Assembly Going Straight For RSA Chase
Morning Assembly will be heading straight for the RSA Chase says trainer Pat Fahy. Fahy said that it was always the plan to go from Christmas to Cheltenham, as not to over race him.
A Grade 1 winner over hurdles, Morning Assembly has continued to progress since being sent out chasing in Autumn, taking his first two races at 2m4f and 2m6f.
Then upped in trip to 3 miles, in the Grade 1 Topaz Novice Chase at Leopardstown in December, Morning Assembly was beaten in the final stages by Carlingford Lough. Despite this loss, Fahy believes that stamina is Morning Assembly's strong-point.
Currently a 10/1 shot for the RSA Chase, and has been partnered with Ruby Walsh in his first three starts over fences, but no rider has been confirmed as yet.
Shock as 28 Year Old Lucy Stack Dies
The world of UK racing has been left in shock after hearing the news that 28 year old Lucy Stack had passed away. The winning owner and breeder died 'in tragic circumstances' on Sunday at her home near Cashel.
Lucy saw her pink and black colours carried to victory twice by the flat stayer Parkers Mills. She also bred Clenor, the prolific US miler.
The families ask that they be left to grieve and people to respect their privacy at this very sad time.
Definitely taken from us too soon, thoughts go out to the families involved. RIP.
And for now, that's about it. Please join me again soon for more tips, news and stats. Check my tips from today....

How Many More Abandonments!
Once again I'm posting about the bad weather and the racing casualties brought with it. Today saw Thursday's meeting at Towcester abandoned, and Friday's Chepstow meeting also abandoned, both due to waterlogging on the track.
There will be a 7:30am inspection Thursday morning, for the days meeting at Wincanton, where going is currently described as Heavy (soft in places).
More heavy rain forecast up and down the country, especially on Friday, and more abandonments could happen yet.
Away from the depressing weather news, and a look towards the £1 million Grand National, where there's been a sharp increase in entries, attracting 115 entries, the most since 2009.
Willie Mullins has the most entries, with eight, while Nicky Henderson could run Hennessy Gold Cup winner Triolo D'Alene, along the brilliant Long Run and Hunt Ball
And the news on Defy Logic wasn't good, as it emerged his campaign was over, after breaking a blood vessel in the Irish Arkle.
Paul Nolan says it was the best decision, to give him plenty of time to recover. And went onto say, 'We'll look forward to next season with him now.'

Grand National Winner Auroras Encore Forced Into Retirement
On Tuesday, Sue Smith revealed to the Racing Post that Grand
National winner Auroras Encore has suffered an injury which has ruled him out
of another crack at the race and forced him into retirement.
On the day that entries closed for the Aintree showpiece,
she announced that the 12-year-old had hurt himself when warming up for a
second tilt at the contest at Doncaster last Saturday.
The chaser, who gave Yorkshire its first victory in the
National for half a century when scoring at 66-1 last April, underwent an operation to have screws inserted in his leg.
"He got an injury during the Sky Bet Chase," Smith
said. "He got a fracture to the off-fore at some stage. That's racing. He
won't race again as he is 12 now and this is quite a serious thing."
