Sod's Law, after initially travelling very moderately at Nottingham, suddenly took off and James Doyle got to the front sooner than he expected no doubt. If Danny Tudhope can keep his nerve and hold on to him until the last furlong, he may go one better. Likes both the ground and the track.

21st Oct 2019 1st 11/4 – Fun Mac – Hughie Morrison Pontefract
Fun Mac is always to be respected in long-distance races and although he rarely wins, he should be tough enough in this company. Ground and trip no problem.

21st Oct 2019 1st 12/1 – Legal Eyes – Ben Pauling Plumpton
Legal Eyes has never looked as well as does now and I have to think that will result in improved form on the racecourse. His last run back in April was solid enough but I'm confident he'll do better today. Great each-way chance.

20th Oct 2019 3rd 7/1 – Black Kettle – Micky Hammond Sedgefield
Black Kettle is a soft-ground lover, which he never really encountered last season. He is going well at home but we think he probably needs the run today.

20th Oct 2019 2nd 8/1 – Cardigan Bay – Charlie Longsdon Kempton Park
Cardigan Bay is a tough, reliable mare and she defied a double penalty when winning a novice race at Warwick last time. We are hoping she can pick up some black type with a run in the frame today.

20th Oct 2019 2nd 4/1 – Solar Impulse – Ian Williams Kempton Park
At his best when making the running, Solar Impulse has seemed unhappy the last twice racing in the pack. If Dave Crosse can get him jumping and in a rhythm at the front he could bounce back to form.

20th Oct 2019 1st 15/8 – Heavenly Promise – Fergal O’Brien Sedgefield
Heavenly Promise has had two solid runs for us, the first over fences and then in a conditionals' race over hurdles. This is an excellent opportunity under owner's son Connor to get her head in front back over fences.

19th Oct 2019 3rd 10/1 – Unit of Assessment – William Knight Catterick
It's a long way to travel up there for Unit of Assessment, but we're going for the ground. It's the right level of race for him and I feel he has to be there or thereabouts.

19th Oct 2019 3rd 12/1 – Storm Eleanor – Hughie Morrison Wolverhampton
Storm Eleanor has been difficult to train and it's possible I've been getting her trip wrong, so we're dropping her back today. If I'm right about that then 20-1 looks terrific value for an each-way bet.

19th Oct 2019 3rd 7/2 – Royal Village – Ian Williams Market Rasen
Royal Village is trying to repeat last year's victory in this valuable race but is off a 12lb higher mark. He's remained in good form ever since but will probably need the ground to continue to dry out to achieve the follow-up.

19th Oct 2019 2nd 4/1 – Song of The Sky – Charlie Mann Stratford upon Avon
Song of the Sky has been running well and likes soft ground. She's in good form and while I won't say she's going to win, I think she'll be in the first three.

19th Oct 2019 1st 2/1 – Rouge Vif – Harry Whittington Market Rasen
Rouge Vif has grown up a lot and is in really good form at home. His jumping for a novice has been above average so we are looking forward to running him. It is a competitive race but due to his hurdles mark he has to run in a race of this grade.

19th Oct 2019 1st 13/2 – Happygolucky – Kim Bailey Stratford upon Avon
Happygolucky finished second in his only Irish point. We like him and expect a bold showing. He should go close

19th Oct 2019 1st 7/1 – Lochinver – Charlie Longsdon Stratford upon Avon
Lochinver ran well last time. If he can build on that he shouldn't be far away.

18th Oct 2019 3rd 20/1 – Louse Talk – Charlie Longsdon Uttoxeter
Louse Talk had useful form over hurdles two seasons ago but has struggled so far over fences. This is a competitive race but hopefully he'll run well.

18/10/2019 2nd 7/2 – Jersey Bean – Oliver Sherwood Fakenham
Jersey Bean was the top-rated of these over hurdles but it’s a case of look and learn today. He was over the top when he ran at Perth so you can put a line through that. He might just be needing the run a little bit so I wouldn’t be going in gung-ho on him.

18/10/2019 1st 5/1 – Sirobbie – Harry Whittington Uttoxeter
Sirobbie is in good form after his break following his three wins in the summer all over just short of three miles at Uttoxeter. He returns to action over the same course and distance in a competitive race but he obviously loves the track. Fingers are crossed that he can maintain his unbeaten record there…

17/10/2019 1st 11/8 – Progressive Rating – William Knight Wolverhampton
As he showed when winning easily at Kempton, Progressive Rating is a decent two-year-old. He remains in good form and will be hard to beat.

17/10/2019 1st 3/1 – Dominus – Brian Meehan Chelmsford
Dominus has had a good season winning a couple and holding his form well. He's run only once previously on all-weather, finishing second to a smart filly around here in the spring. With Oisin in the saddle he should be hard to beat.
