Well back the last day at Newton Abbot but was in a better race than this. We gave him 2 1/2 months off after that race and should find this a lot easier. The Mullins horse is fearer, while we also get a handy 12lbs off Sheena's in-form runner. Hopeful of a better run today…

Fair flat performer (70 rated) that has won 3 times from 15. Fit from a recent spell in the level but the plan was always to give him a try over the sticks. Schooled well enough and looking forward to seeing how he gets on. If his jumping holds up not without a chance.

The Hughes and Boughey runners have fair form to aim at so a place might be all we can hope for here. Our filly ran well again last time at Kempton (3rd) and kept on well so the extra 1/2 a furlong will help. Luke rides and draw 4 helps. Each-way claims. 

Neck winner at Chelmsford last time out - breaking her duck at the seventh try. Has had 3 weeks to get over that run and seems to have improved at home since. We also feel she ran on well over that 7f to give her a try over this 1m trip. Up 4lbs, but Rhys…

Doesn't know how to run a bad race at the moment - been in the first three in his last five and was a good winner here two runs back. Up 5lbs from that effort but still in a Class 6 contest so would have every chance again. Negative is the wide draw in 11,…

Was very consistent in his younger days before finally getting his head in front and then won three chases in relatively quick succession. Although he has struggled off higher marks, he has slipped back to an attractive mark again and after a break he should be competitive again.

Chorlton lane is a very nice horse that has been working well at home. On ability he would be going close today but my 2yr olds have been needing the run badly this year and I would back him with caution.

Out of an unraced half-sister to the Group 2 winner over 1m, Echo Of Light, and Listed 1m4f winner Akarem.  Sea the Clouds is a half-brother to Contented who has won over hurdles and fences, and a full brother to My Mate Mozzie who developed into a Graded novice hurdler.  Sea the Clouds was placed…

Vanity Affair wants the ground as soft as possible and we thought it was testing enough there yesterday. Harry Davies is a top young jockey and he takes a valuable 3lb off. This track should suit.

Pisgah Pike took advantage of his lower hurdles mark to win the Summer Hurdle here with a strong late run. Raised for that he did not run much of a race at Warwick but he pulled both front shoes off so we can forgive him. The handicapper gave us 1lb back for that and this…

Nice winner at Yarmouth last time out - breaking his duck at the sixth try. We've alwasy thought the horse has some ability and that showed last time. Up 6lbs for that with the penalty but had a fair bit up his sleeve we feel and actually eased a tad in grade here too. Apprentice…

Looks a competitive race with some unexposed sorts particularly amongst the three year olds, any further ease in the ground a plus, well drawn.

In good order at the moment - hitting the top four in his last four races. Course winner here too and versatile in terms of trip, but last win came over this 1m6f distance. The Prescott horse could be a handicap blot, but Kitten is running well around this level and has to be considered…

Hasn't really hit the heights we've have hoped since coming to us a few years ago - and yet to win a race for us. As a result though has plummeted down the handicap and is 24lbs lower than when he came to us. Hoping the cheekpieces help, which are on for the first time,…

Up 4lbs for a recent win at Wolverhampton but did it well enough to suggest there is more to come despite this being his 66th run. Switch to Southwell is fine too - has run well here without winning - and draw 5 helps. Should not be far away and be disappointed if he's not…

Back up to a mile at this galloping track should suit. Nice draw and should give a good account

Runs back at Southwell where he has won, he has had excuses for his last couple of runs. Trip is fine and Dylan knows him well. We hope he has an e/w chance again.

Drop back to 5f is a gamble. More rain would suit. Likely fast pace will help his chance. If the gaps come right for him he has an e/w chance.

Makes her handicap debut here, she has probably been well treated but needs to find the form of her first run. Ground will suit and jockey knows her. We hope she has an e/w chance at a good price.

Teeceethree is out of a 4-time winning mare that we trained when we started out.  This 4-year-old is by Native Ruler, who is a half-brother to the St Leger winner, Sixties Icon, out of the Oaks winner Love Divine.  TeeCeeThree was a good 4th on her racecourse debut at Stratford last month, and will have…
