After a quiet November for the team here at Jackdaws Castle, we're raring to go again in December.

We weren't happy with how the runners were performing, so we pulled the plug for a couple of weeks and didn't make any entries. It was nothing too dramatic, which is good, they just had a bit of cold on them, as we as people get the common cold I suppose.

We've given them time to recover, and they all seem to be in good form, so hopefully we can come back a bit stronger and go from there. It's just one of those things and we're looking forward to getting back racing again.

All The Glory was one of those affected, so she missed her intended run at Bangor last month, but she's back in full work now and seems in good order so we should be nearing her next run. We're looking at a Listed Mares' Novices' Chase over 2½ miles at Warwick on December 11th which is a decent prize pot, so hopefully we'll have a clear run with her and can make up for lost time.
