The state of the ground will probably be somewhat of a shock to you, it is soft nearly everywhere in England and Ireland at the moment, so make sure you find horses with soft ground form.

Regarding trainers and jockeys to follow:

The must ofcourse is Aidan O'Brien and Kieren Fallon (both masters at what they do)

Declan Mcdonogh (spelling?) is also a very good jockey and he will give all his mounts the best possible ride.

Will you be attending any National Hunt meetings? if so, follow any horse trained, owned or ridden by someone with the surname Mullins or Walsh

Also, if you see any horses trained by a certain A J Martin........... watch out i will leave Brockguy to explain why.
Thanks. I haven't been following the weather reports. I'll try to bring some Florida sunshine and heat with me. I'll be playing a bit of golf and will have a rain suit, so that will take care of any of the wet stuff.

Good to see that Fallon is riding again. I had the chance to meet him at Nottingham racecourse just before I moved back to the states. I'll keep my eye out for anything McDonogh rides.

Yeah, I will attend NH meetings at Ballinrobe, Kilbeggan and Cork. Though most of the meetings are mixed with a couple of hurdle races carded.
