Monty's Award ran very well last time, just failing to get the better of a tight finish against an in-form rival at Bangor. He is not the most consistent but has a big chance today.

05/08/20 2nd 16/5 – Noble Behest – Ian Williams – Newton Abbot
Noble Behest has been a prolific winner on the Flat, especially on all-weather and showed promise on his first hurdles run at Doncaster last season. He should run well although the favourite will be tough to beat.

05/08/20 1st 1/2 – Templepark – Fergal O’Brien – Newton Abbot
Templepark only has to repeat the style of his recent effort over course and distance to win again. We expect him to make the running and it will be difficult for any of these to run him close.

05/08/20 1st 4/1 – Cheltenam De Vaige – Fergal O’Brien – Newton Abbot
Cheltenham De Vaige has run poorly in his two most recent races but we know he is capable of better. This is not the strongest race so a place may not be beyond him.

05/08/20 1st 2/1 – Doubly Clever – Ben Pauling – Newton Abbot
Doubly Clever won impressively on his first hurdle start for us the other day and I thought the 7lb rise was fair. A repeat performance would make him hard to beat.

05/08/20 1st 14/1 – Requited – Hughie Morrison – Lingfield Park
Requited didn't show much on his first post-lock-down run and had been out of form in the winter. He might run better today but he still looks high enough in the handicap.

05/08/20 3rd 100/30 – Bravo Buddy – Ian Williams – Newton Abbot
Bravo Buddy won his only start in a point-to-point Flat race so obviously has ability. He receives a useful weight advantage from Ultimate Getaway and we are looking forward to a good performance today.

05/08/20 2nd 6/4 – Ultimate Getaway – Fergal O’Brien – Newton Abbot
It appears that Ultimate Getaway has only one horse to beat and is in great form after two recent wins. The penalty is a possible worry but he will make the running again and will be hard to pass.

05/08/20 1st 7/1 – Ravens Ark – Hughie Morrison – Lingfield Park
Ravens Ark has been pleasing me lately but I find it hard to see how he deserves a 65 rating. We have to take it though and I still think he could go well here.

04/08/20 2nd 5/1 – Aroha – Brian Meehan – Lingfield Park
Aroha was all at sea at Catterick where she also had problems getting a run. Her form last year entitles her to the utmost respect and while the top two in the market are highly regarded, they will not find it easy giving her so much weight. Great chance.

04/08/20 3rd 3/1 – With Respect – Hughie Morrison – Lingfield Park
We were delighted when With Respect made a winning debut in a 20-runner maiden at Newbury last summer. We've been waiting for some soft ground for him but it hasn't materialised so we've had to look to the all-weather. It will be hard to give weight to The Perfect Crown if he's back in shape,…

04/08/20 3rd 9/2 – Rebel Leader – Harry Whittington – Southwell
Rebel Leader is a point winner who showed some promise in novice hurdles for us last season. He is bred for this job and hopefully can show his potential from what looks a fair opening handicap mark.

04/08/20 3rd 16/1 – Condarcia – Nicky Richards – Southwell
Condarcia joined us from Jessica Harrington and apart from one second place at Sedgefield off today's mark you would have to say she was generally disappointing. She has something to prove, but it's a fresh season and we know there's ability in there somewhere.

04/08/20 3rd 18/1 – Spanish Kiss – William Knight – Lingfield Park
Spanish Kiss has taken time to come to himself but he is getting there. He might be best watched today.

04/08/20 1st 10/1 – Pearl Beach – William Knight – Lingfield Park
Pearl Beach has been knocking on the door. She went close at Windsor last time and I think she'll be fine on all-weather. I prefer her chance to our other runner Selsey Sizzler.

03/08/20 2nd 11/1 – Embrace The Moment – Ian Williams – Haydock
Embrace The Moment found a mile and a half around Chepstow too far last time. Reverting to her previous winning distance and on fast ground she has a much more realistic chance.

01/08/20 2nd 20/1 – Image Of The Moon – Shaun Keightley – Newmarket
Image Of The Moon has been running well, but I'd be wary of risking her on fast ground. I'll have a good look at the track this morning and if it's too firm she probably won't run.

01/08/20 1st 16/1 – Tribal Commander – Ian Williams – Chepstow
Tribal Commander ran disappointingly on his return over this course and distance last month after a longish break. We are looking for an improved display over a course where he has shown good form in the past.

01/08/20 3rd 14/1 – Mojandil – Brian Meehan – Chepstow
We took Mojandil for a barrier trial the other day and he showed plenty of promise. Our two-year-olds often improve for a run, but he could have each-way hopes at a decent price.
