Flagon Dry goes there tonight with excellent chances. He's run two solid races around Wolverhampton and should enjoy going up to a mile. He's nicely drawn and seems to be improving. Hopeful.

23/10/24 – 2nd 5/1 – Just Chasing May – Ben Pauling – Southwell
Just Chasing May has the Skelton horse to beat but won easily at Uttoxeter before his break and is progressing well. We're claiming 10lb off him.

23/10/24 – 1st 16/5 – Samazul – Ben Pauling – Fontwell Park
Samazul will outrun his odds and is a horse I fancy at a bigger price today. He was okay in bumpers but didn't really match it last season.

23/10/24 – 1st 9/4 – Golden Ambition – Ben Pauling – Fontwell Park
Golden Ambition is a monkey who doesn't really want to know. That said, he ran better last time and should go okay.

21/10/24 – 1st 5/4 – Sabrimento – Brian Meehan – Bath
Sabrimento hasn't the greatest form but he is a sound horse so we'll keep going with him. If we throw enough mud at the wall maybe one day it will stick.

21/10/24 – 1st 100/30 – Hippocratic Oath – Brian Meehan – Southwell
I was delighted with the improvement Hippocratic Oath showed in winning at Wolverhampton despite rearing and losing ground at the start last time. He has been raised 4lb, but seems to have improved at home since, so we're hopeful he can follow up.

20/10/24 – 2nd 12/1 – Almazhar Garde – Charlie Longsdon – Kempton Park
Almazhar Garde has been running well through the summer, albeit at a lower level than in his heyday. His fitness could help him into a place around a track that should suit.

19/10/24 – 1st 15/2 – Beylerbeyi – Ian Williams – Wolverhampton
Another two-hander and again only limited appeal. Beylerbeyi is another that did well early in the year. and his mark has stubbornly remained high. Small place chance.

19/10/24 – 1st 13/2 – Tribal Wisdom – Ian Williams – Wolverhampton
Tribal Wisdom had a couple of AW wins earrly in the year. He has been running quite consistently off his revised mark and probably needs to drop another pound or two to resume winning.

19/10/24 – 1st 13/2 – His Finest Hour – Ian Williams – Wolverhampton
His Finest Hour ran well for a long way behind a useful performer on debut at Lingfield. He will know more about it today and could make the frame.

18/10/24 – 2nd 100/30 – Strong Run – Fergal O’Brien – Uttoxeter
Strong Run has been shaping nicely. This is her first sight of a racecourse, but as long as she isn't too green she could challenge our other runner Dream Shadow.

18/10/24 – 1st 11/4 – Dream Shadow – Fergal O’Brien – Uttoxeter
Two strong contenders in this. Dream Shadow has the experience of a point win in Ireland on debut and a good 3rd in her bumper on this track. Normal improvement would see her go very close.

18/10/24 – 2nd 17/2 – Piecederesistance – Micky Hammond – Fakenham
It's been a while since Piecederesistance ran over jumps. He had some good runs on the flat during the summer and ran well at Sedgefield on his last start over hurdles. He ought to handle Fakenham and if he does, he could go close.

16/10/24 – 1sts 5/6 – The Kemble Brewery – Kim Bailey – Worcester
The Kemble Brewery showed good bumper form and went off favourite for his first hurdle start at Cheltenham last November. Unfortunately, he had a very nasty experience when nearly coming down and cutting his leg badly, hence he has not run since. A promising horse who has a decent chance.

16/10/24 – 1st 5/2 – Clondaw General – Kim Bailey – Worcester
Clondaw General was impressive in his Irish point-to-point. He's every inch a chaser, but one who should win hurdle races in the meantime. Not that many opponents for this debut but they all have respectable form. I hope we can come out on top.

16/10/24 – 1st 4/1 – Law Of Supply – Kim Bailey – Worcester
Law Of Supply had respectable form when winning an Irish point-to-point and showed promise in both a bumper and over hurdles last season. We were always hoping he would be a better chaser and today we will find out!

15/10/24 – 1st 5/1 – Filanderer – Hughie Morrison – Market Rasen
I have to be worried about the ground for Filanderer - we'll have to assess it when we get there. He's had a break since the spring when he was unlucky on his final start. If he runs he has to hold a very good chance.

15/10/24- 1st 9/4 – Dubawi Time – William Knight – Yarmouth
Dubawi Time has been consistent without being quite able to deliver a telling blow. He might be better suited by this drop in trip over this galloping course and we have to be hopeful of his chance in this company.
