27/10/24 – 2nd 11/4 – Eyed – Hughie Morrison – Wincanton
Eyed came to us when Paul Webber retired this year. He seems a nice horse but it's hard to gauge him as he blows all the time and it seems wise not to over-gallop him. I hope he's fit enough and we'll find that out today.

Kamsinas progressed last season in his first hurdles campaign winning three novice races including a Grade 2 at Haydock. There's still a bit of juice in his handicap mark of 130 and we expect him to go very close.

Mokaatil has been running okay off the higher mark he earned with two summer wins at Chepstow. He's always liable to turn up and he's an attractive each-way price if he does.

23/10/24 – 1st 16/5 – Samazul – Ben Pauling – Fontwell Park
Samazul will outrun his odds and is a horse I fancy at a bigger price today. He was okay in bumpers but didn't really match it last season.

21/10/24 – 1st 100/30 – Hippocratic Oath – Brian Meehan – Southwell
I was delighted with the improvement Hippocratic Oath showed in winning at Wolverhampton despite rearing and losing ground at the start last time. He has been raised 4lb, but seems to have improved at home since, so we're hopeful he can follow up.

Almazhar Garde has been running well through the summer, albeit at a lower level than in his heyday. His fitness could help him into a place around a track that should suit.
