I was VERY late to Taunton when presenting alongside Jonathan last year. He had to do the intro on his own, and made quip in his classic, wry way: 'if you're wondering where Tom Bull is...well so am I!' Many would have had a go at me, but he just laughed about it all day.

With a heavy heart, we can confirm the death of much-loved colleague Jonathan Neesom after a short illness. A member of the Racing TV team from the start, we will all greatly miss his knowledge, integrity, humour, enthusiasm and love of the sport.

The more I watch this run from Notable Speech, the more I love it. A penultimate furlong sectional of 10.81secs and a final furlong sectional of 10.98 - with a finishing speed of 115%. These are serious numbers...let's just hope he takes to the turf!

People having a pop at Brian Hughes not being at Cheltenham should remember one thing. In its current parameters, the jockeys' championship rewards graft, winners and day-to-day dedication. It's as it should be. A prize-money reward would lead to a most unsatisfactory outcome.

Jonbon facing one rival is an indictment of a worrying trend. Who benefits from a two runner race at Grade 2 level? Certainly not Jonbon, who needs as much experience as he can get. Well done to Calico's connections, who've spied an opportunity. But this is very unsatisfactory

Noel Fehily is one of only two jockeys imo (the other being Ruby Walsh) who is a master of the 'soft hands' approach. Watching him ride and you will struggle to see the reins move. One of the greats, here's hoping he goes out on a victory later.

Times reflect what visuals suggested yesterday. Elmalka had the fastest sectionals for furlongs 6 & 7, but a 12.11sec final furlong from Tamfana was the quickest in the field. Her final 2f finishing % was also best. Unlucky not to be second, at least.

@RacingTV My sister is a coeliac and has been all her life. The smallest crumb makes her very unwell. At a lot of racecourses she'd be told to leave her gluten-free food she's brought with her at the gates. Some venues say they provide but in reality it's very minimal. Change is needed.
