Dragons Will Rise started the year with a good third. Ben Curtis' agent rang up for the ride, so we have confidence from that quarter. Good chance.

The Cob ran very well when second to a decent type on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter. He is in good form and it will take a good performance to beat him today.

08/03/20 2nd 9/4 – Im Wiser Now – Fergal O’Brien – Southwell
This looks quite a competitive race. We think I'm Wiser Now will be much better going left-handed and should make the frame once more.

08/03/20 2nd 3/1 – Young Bull – Harry Whittington – Warwick
Young Bull has done us proud winning his last three-in-a-row. He takes another step up in trip today but we are more than hopeful that he can continue the successful sequence.

07/03/20 2nd 7/2 – Better Getalong – Nicky Richards – Ayr
Better Getalong has run two okay races this time and he's in good order. He probably wants further nowadays but I thought this race would cut up and he'll have his chance.

07/03/20 2nd 8/1 – Rosmuc Relay – Kim Bailey – Hereford
Rosmuc Relay was hugely disappointing at Uttoxeter but that was at a time when my horses were not right. I hope that was the sole reason as if he is back to his best, he should go close on his hurdle form.

07/03/20 1st 8/11 – Marown – Nicky Richards – Ayr
Marown is a grand horse who in time will make a nice chaser. He's done nothing wrong so far and I hope he'll do nothing wrong today either. Would be disappointed if he was beaten.

07/03/20 3rd 10/1 – Top Billing – Nicky Richards – Ayr
Top Billing is a bit of a lad. If he's in the mood today he's got the talent to win this but if you want to be sensible, you might be better off going to the bar rather than bet on him.

07/03/20 1st 11/1 – Secratario – Shaun Keightley – Chelmsford
Secratario was off for quite a while but ran well on his comeback run for Tony Carson. If he goes forward on stable debut he could be thereabouts.

06/03/20 2nd 7/1 – Another Tuco – Warren Greatrex – Ffos Las
The drop back in trip will help Another Tuco, along with cheek-pieces to assist his concentration. We are expecting a big run today.

Saint Dalina was disappointing last time but we have freshened her up. Hopefully she goes there today with a decent chance.

05/03/20 3rd 11/4 – The Pine Martin – Micky Hammond – Carlisle
The Pine Martin still retains all his former ability and saw his race out well last time at Newcastle. He is in good form at home and a big run is expected.

05/03/20 1st 8/1 – Echo Express – Nicky Richards – Carlisle
Echo Express has been a disaster. This is a bad race and he'll need to be showing something at this level otherwise he won't be here for much longer!

05/03/20 1st 12/1 – Skiddaw Tara – Nicky Richards – Carlisle
Skiddaw Tara is without doubt a future three-mile chaser. If the race falls apart he will undoubtedly be staying on at the finish.

05/03/20 1st 5/4 – Lanty Slea – Nicky Richards – Carlisle
This bumper has cut up but there's a couple with bits of form. We like our lad and hope he'll handle the ground and the occasion. If he does he should run a good race.

04/03/20 1st 11/8 – Renardeau – Ali Stronge – Lingfield Park
Renardeau has very good course and distance form and we are reuniting him with Tom Marquand who gets on so well with him. Fingers crossed - he has a favourite's chance and we're very hopeful.

04/03/20 1st 8/1 – Strike West – Micky Hammond – Catterick
Strike West is fresh and in form at home. Trip and ground will suit and we would love to see him get his head in front as he has been knocking on the door for a while.

03/03/20 1st 7/4 – Wetlands – Nicky Richards – Newcastle
Wetlands is a real Trevor Hemmings National Hunt horse and we were delighted with his debut here back in November. He ran on well at the finish that day and we are hopeful he can step up today.

01/03/20 2nd 7/2 – Imperial Icon – Kim Bailey – Huntingdon
Imperial Icon is a jumping-bred son of Shantou who is making his debut in what looks a pretty uncompetitive novice event for the track. We go there with some optimism.
