Luke Morris fancies a previous mount at Wolves this Boxing Day

I feel like I’ve got a good base of contacts that are very loyal and hopefully going forward into next year I’ve got a nice team to look forward to. As well as Marsha and St Michel there should hopefully be some nice horses to come from the likes of James Tate and Marco Botti.

James’s got 100 plus horses for next season and over 65 two-year-olds among them. Between there and some of the other yards I ride for hopefully we can find a nice two-year-old or older horse to go forward with.

I’m not in action again this year as I’m taking some time off over Christmas, however I’ll be keeping one eye on the racing at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day nevertheless.

There are a couple of really good contests, the first of which is the 1m 1 1/2f handicap. The horse to beat is Mythical Madness as he’s shown some really good form and is running well.

Having said that, I do like Forceful Appeal as an alternative. I won on him two starts back and he’s at the top of his game at the moment.

He’s able to run off his old mark before his new mark kicks in for finishing fourth in a Listed race. He potentially well in and he’ll have a real solid chance.

I hope Lightscameraction can go well in the 6f conditions race too as he’s been a real all-weather flagbearer for me. I rode him the other morning and he seemed in good form.

If he can get the six furlongs then he’ll definitely have a good chance because he feels great, but I’ve always felt he’s at his best over five furlongs.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my blogs this year. Have a very merry Christmas and a great new year and I’ll be back with my weekly columns again in 2017.

Cheers,
Luke
