Typical Woman won a couple in the summer but is higher in the handicap now and could do with a little help from the official.

20/11/24 – 1st 11/2 – Swindon Village – Charlie Longsdon – Ffos Las
Swindon Village was a good 2nd on his only start so far over the Punchestown point-to-point course in April. He's a very nice young horse and I think he'll like the ground. I'm hoping he will go well.

20/11/24 – 1st 9/4 – Jig’s Forge – Ben Pauling – Ffos Las
Jig's Forge had three runs in Irish points for Ross O'Sullivan, winning easily on his final start. He brings plenty of experience to his first run for the stable and I'm hopeful he can make an immediate impact at this level.

19/11/24 – 2nd 9/1 – Whenthedealinsdone – Roger Teal – Lingfield
Whenthedealinsdone, believe it or not, has a nice draw, halleluya! He drops back from 7f to 6f with a nice each-way chance.

19/11/24 – 3rd 10/1 – Sound And Fury – Ben Pauling – Carlisle
Sound And Fury returns after a year off. He won his handicap hurdle over 2m4f off 113 and starts chasing only 4lb higher. He jumps well and hopefully, will enjoy this testing three-mile trip.

18/11/24 – 1st 17/2 – Beauzon – Ian Williams – Wolverhampton
Beauzon won and was then 3rd in two races over the CD over the past week. He should have every chance running off 5lb less than last time.

18/11/24 -1st 8/1 – Sign Again – Charlie Longsdon – Plumpton
Sign Again won his point but was very green first time out in his bumper. It's a small field and he must have a lead. If he does he could run okay.

17/11/24 – 1st 9/5 – Quantock Hills – Warren Greatrex – Fontwell Park
Quantock Hills ran very well on UK debut, when although he was fizzy and gassy, he finished a good second at Wetherby. Hopefully, the first-time hood will help him relax this time and although he has a 7lb penalty for his win in France, he should take all the beating with experience on his side.

17/11/24 – 1st 100/30 – Abuffalosoldier – Warren Greatrex – Cheltenham
Abuffalosoldier surprised me with how well he went first time back, running an extremely good 2nd at Exeter. He has run okay here in the past, albeit over hurdles, but he has a nice weight and will be ridden prominently. Great chance over a trip he should love.

16/11/24 – 1st 9/2 – John Barbour – Fergal O’Brien – Uttoxeter
John Barbiour joined us after running a promising 3rd on bumper debut for previous connections. He shapes nicely and we're looking for a decent first run.

16/11/24 – 1st 7/4 – Ajp Kingdom – Fergal O’Brien – Uttoxeter
Ajp Kingdom ran a good 2nd behind King Turgeon at Chepstow and that horse followed up in the Grand Sefton at Aintree a week ago. He stands out as the likeliest winner.

16/11/24 – 1st 2/1 – Densworth – Ben Pauling – Wetherby
Densworth probably needed the comeback run, his first over fences, last time. If he could reproduce his best hurdles form he would be tough to beat.

– Cuban Lady – Tom Clover – Southwell
Cuban Lady is a homebred filly of Derby-winning owner Khalifa Dasmal. She will learn plenty from this debut in what looks a decent race for the track.

11/11/24 – 3rd 25/1 – Tango Sunset – Roger Teal – Wolverhampton
We're moving Tango Sunset up to 2m tonight. While I'm not sure whether she's strong enough to get that distance at this stage, that will be her trip later on. She's a massive price and may well outrun those odds.

11/11/24 – 1st 100/30 – Beauzon – Ian Williams – Wolverhampton
Beauzon was running from a mark in the 70's early in the year after a winnng spell. Back after a four-month spring break, he has shown nothing like the same form and is down to a rating of 54. It's probably a case of when rather than if he strikes form. Hopefully, it will be…

11/11/24 – 1st 12/1 – Nells Son – Nicky Richards – Carlisle
Although there are only four runners in this Graduation Chase, Nells Son looks to be up against it. He has a few pounds to find but he usually runs well fresh and Carlisle is only up the road. It's a good starting point for his season so I hope he'll run well.

10/11/24 – 3rd 14/1 – De Kingpin – Ben Pauling – Sandown
De Kingpin is a talented horse that was 2nd in his first bumper on joining us last season. This is a very good race for his hurdles debut and he will probably have it all to do.

10/11/24 – 1st 9/4 – El Rio – Kim Bailey – Sandown
El Rio won well at Huntingdon and a repeat of that performance would put him in here with a great chance. Ground and track should suit him.

10/11/24 – 1st 11/1 – Highland Haven – Fergal O’Brien – Ffos Las
Highland Haven is a daughter of Kayf Tara. She has been showing promise at home and we hope she can make an impact in what looks a strong mares' bumper.
