Last time out when coming with a run Shaffire was unfortunately pushed very wide but stayed on gamely to finish fourth. She seems to be thriving off her work and racing so hopefully she can run a big race back in a handicap against the fillies.

11/01/20 2nd 14/1 – Keeper Hill – Warren Greatrex – Kempton Park
Keeper Hill wasn’t enjoying himself last time out and was pulled up, but has been in great form at home since and schooled very well. This is a competitive race but if he can get in a rhythm early on and jump well, as previously at Haydock, he could put in a big performance.

11/01/20 2nd 8/1 – Gowiththeflow – Ben Pauling – Cheltenham
I hope Gowiththeflow will perform to the best of his ability as this race comes very quickly after Kempton. It looked a suitable race and he seems still to be in good order, so we're giving it a go with some optimism.

11/01/20 1st 15/8 – Luckys Dream – Ian Williams – Chelmsford
Lucky's Dream was very unlucky when fourth here last time after a lengthy break. It would be nice to think he'll have some fortune today in which case he ought to win.

11/01/20 1st 5/2 – Maridadi – Hughie Morrison – Wetherby
It took the whole of the Newbury straight to get Maridadi wound up, but she finished well in third and the experience should not be lost on her. There's not too many of these fillies' bumpers so you're pretty much committed to running where you can. The ground here might not be ideal, but we…

11/01/20 1st 3/1 – Two For Gold – Kim Bailey – Warwick
Two For Gold has had a good start to the season winning both his chases to date. This is a big step up in grade but we think he has decent place chances in a tough race.

10/01/20 3rd 20/1 – Conceal – Ben Pauling – Sedgefield
I love Conceal. He ran well for a long way on debut at Chepstow and is a massive price today. He could go close.

10/01/20 2nd 11/2 – On Springs – Ben Pauling – Sedgefield
On Springs is another talented horse. He ran very well on debut at Ascot considering how green he was and must have a decent chance here. We are running two nice bumper horses today.

10/01/20 2nd 7/2 – Dontdelay – Micky Hammond – Sedgefield
Dontdelay is a true mud-lover and we hope those are the conditions we will find at Sedgefield today. With a light weight and a positive ride, he has a good chance of finishing in the first three.

10/01/20 2nd 5/1 – Robaddan – Charlie Mann – Sedgefield
Robaddan has run well enough when fourth in two novice hurdles and qualifies for a rating after that. We're switching to chasing now with that 110 mark and are hopeful of a positive debut.

09/01/20 1st 3/1 – Enfin Phil – Micky Hammond – Catterick
Enfin Phil ran a good solid race last time at Sedgefield and the stable belief is that he should have won that day. This looks a tougher race but there is more to come from him so another big run is expected.

08/01/20 2nd 9/2 – Carrolls Milan – Fergal O’Brien – Ludlow
Carrolls Milan hasn't run for some time but while she's so tough and hardy, it could just make a difference between her winning and being placed. She will be bang there on how she's been working.

08/01/20 2nd 11/1 – Sheila Nash – Harry Whittington – Ludlow
Sheila Nash ran green on her debut at Wetherby. We are hopeful that this well-bred filly might show some improvement today.

08/01/20 1st 3/1 – Miss Austen – Hughie Morrison – Ludlow
Miss Austen needed some time off after her promising debut run at Taunton, with the sort of normal minor stress fracture that young jumping horses tend to get. She's fine now and while I'm not sure how much she's improved, she ought to be the one they have to beat.

07/01/20 3rd 7/1 – Kembles Cascade – Warren Greatrex – Lingfield Park
Kemble's Cascade disappointed on his last run but was found to have a wind issue. He has now had this tinkered with and he is working very well at home. It is a warm race today but I would be very surprised if he wasn’t in the frame.

07/01/20 2nd 8/1 – Polish – Fergal O’Brien – Taunton
Polish is a nice horse from off the Flat. He works and jumps well but may possibly want quicker ground. The market principals look well established so it may be hard for him to get a place.

07/01/20 1st 16/1 – Illegal Model – Charlie Longsdon – Lingfield Park
Illegal Model is a nice horse we've recently acquired from Ireland. Today will be a learning curve for him so he'll be better for the race. That said, apart from the top two in the market, it's not the greatest of races, so maybe he'll get somewhere in the money.

06/01/20 1st 15/8 – Castle Rushen – Nicky Richards – Ayr
We think the world of Castle Rushen and when we take him home tonight he'll still be a lovely horse whatever the result. Obviously you have to take note of a Gordon Elliott runner, but our horse goes nicely and we hope there will be plenty of wins from him over the coming years, hopefully…

05/01/20 1st 2/1 – Noble Behest – Ian Williams – Southwell
Noble Behest is in great form but on course debut he meets five rivals all with winning form on Fibresand. If he acts on it I'm sure he'll put in another determined display as you couldn't get a more genuine racehorse. I ought to mention though that his sire Sir Percy has dreadful stats on…

04/01/20 2nd 5/1 – Delire Destruval – Ben Pauling – Sandown
Delire D'Estruval didn't get the trip at Ascot but he's back on the course and distance where he won nicely before his break. Big chance.
