Our old boy the consistent Casual Cavalier returns to the tight underlating turns of Catterick tomorrow over a distance which should be ideal but on ground not as soft as he would like and a track which is not the preferred flat galloping tracks he enjoys running on at the likes of Ayr and Newcastle.
With not many race options available we will give it a go as he is not getting any younger standing in his stable!

Our veteran chaser the 12yo Casual Cavalier ran his usual consistent race to finish 3rd at Ayr yesterday and give his owners their usual fun day out racing.
This real gentleman of a horse who acts as the schoolmaster at home will have a few more runs and then we will decide on whats best for him going forward. Everyone at home loves the horse and as he is such a softy and well mannered horse I will make sure we find the special owners he deserves and that he has a real nice life ahead of him after his track racing days are over.

Our old boy the 12 yo chaser Casual Cavalier is trying a new trip at Ayr on Sunday running over 2m 6f in what looks like a competitive handicap with 10 runners going to post.
Some in form stables represented and a handful of runners look on good handicap marks.
It feels a bit late in Casual Cavaliers career to be experimenting with new distances however he has been struggling to get his head in front for a while now so this is an attempt at something new for the horse.
Looking forward to a good day out out and the usual decent owner facilities offered by Ayr racecourse.
