Paseo has run with credit on both of his appearances over hurdles. There is still a ton of improvement in him. His jumping was much slicker last time at Kempton and he has continued to school well at home. As a three-year-old he is well treated in the weights.

8th Nov 2019 1st 11/2 – Square Viviani – Micky Hammond Hexham
Square Viviani ran better than his finishing position here last month would indicate. He is on a good mark for a horse of his ability. On ground that will suit, if everything falls right for him, he can be involved in the finish.

8th Nov 2019 1st 7/1 – Espoir De Romay – Kim Bailey Warwick
This huge horse had a good run at Ludlow last season when he was beaten a long way while showing promise. This is a better race but he is stronger now and should be placed.

7th Nov 2019 3rd 6/1 – Black Kettle – Micky Hammond Sedgefield
Black Kettle ran well here last time and is entitled to have come on for that first run of the season. Trip, track and ground will be no problem so a big run is expected.

7th Nov 2019 2nd 8/1 – Young Lieutenant – Warren Greatrex Newbury
Young Lieutenant is a nice bumper horse from last year. He has schooled well at home and although he will appreciate further in time, he should be able to show himself well today.

7th Nov 2019 1st 6/4 – Pride of Lecale – Fergal O’Brien Market Rasen
Pride of Lecale should win this. He's been in great form, is well handicapped and this is his ground.

7th Nov 2019 1st 4/1 – Crossgalesfamegame – Fergal O’Brien Market Rasen
Crossgalesfamegame stayed on well last time and the extra distance will help. She is available at a decent price and I think she could easily make the frame.

7th Nov 2019 1st 5/1 – Boy In The Bar – Ian Williams Chelmsford
Boy in the Bar should run well. This is competitive but he has form on the track over the trip and put in an excellent effort at Sandown last time in a hot claiming handicap.

7th Nov 2019 1st 3/1 – Late Date – Micky Hammond Sedgefield
Late Date is another that enjoys it round here where he is a course and distance winner. He ran well at Kelso on his seasonal debut, has come on for the run and is likely to be thereabouts.

7th Nov 2019 1st 9/1 – Excalibur – Micky Hammond Sedgefield
Excalibur ran really well when third at Kelso and he is finally beginning to find his form at the level. He goes well for today’s rider and has each way chances in an open race.

6th Nov 2019 3rd 12/1 – Commit No Nuisance – William Knight Kempton Park
I've been trying to find a 0-75 for Commit No Nuisance, but there just aren't the races. He goes all right though and I think he's quite well handicapped so off his light weight I'd have to be hopeful each-way.

6th Nov 2019 3rd 3/1 – Good And Hardy – Fergal O’Brien Chepstow
Good And Hardy is a solid type who loves soft ground. Hopefully it will be suitable enough today. In his correct ground I think he is well handicapped and should go close.

6th Nov 2019 3rd 11/2 – Sea Sovereign – Ian Williams Wolverhampton
Sea Sovereign runs off his lowest-ever mark but I would have been happier if he had a better draw. He has to win someday and we're taking 7lb off which should help to a degree.

6th Nov 2019 3rd 12/1 – Wot A Shot – Nicky Richards Musselburgh
Wot A Shot is a grand old horse and he's in good order. The worry is that the ground might be too soft and I'll judge when we get there whether he takes his chance.

6th Nov 2019 2nd 5/2 – Stick With Bill – Harry Whittington Chepstow
Stick With Bill ran two excellent races in Ffos Las bumpers last season and we are looking forward to his debut over hurdles. It's competitive for a maiden hurdle, but we're hopeful he'll be a contender.

6th Nov 2019 2nd 12/1 – Elmetto – Hughie Morrison Kempton Park
Elmetto has been going quite nicely at home and probably knows more than many of our newcomers. She has a good pedigree and nice draw, so decent each-way prospects.

6th Nov 2019 2nd 16/1 – Drewmain Legend – Ali Stronge Chepstow
Drewmain Legend will have his first run back since winning a handicap chase here early in April. He's reverting to hurdles and a shorter trip as the ground will be testing today. He may just need it but we're hoping for a nice run and he'll be returning to fences before long.

6th Nov 2019 1st 7/2 – Silver Hallmark – Fergal O’Brien Chepstow
Silver Hallmark is one of our most exciting novices. It is a shame to bump into McFabulous again but we weren't too far behind him in a bumper and will give him a good run for his money today. Strong each-way chance at least.

6th Nov 2019 1st 5/1 – Simply The Betts – Harry Whittington Chepstow
Bumper and dual hurdle winner Simply The Betts makes his chase debut in this novice handicap off a high weight, based on hurdles form. We think this will be his game and we are looking forward to seeing him run.

6th Nov 2019 1st 10/1 – Star Of Athena – Ali Stronge Wolverhampton
Star of Athena improved for going up in trip last time at Brighton when finishing second. She's moving up another two furlongs now but after 11 weeks off the track it is likely she'll progress again for the run.
