Nice prospect for the Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Won well on her racecourse debut at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. She is a well-bred filly and looks to have a bright future. It's never easy carrying a penalty in bumpers but she receives a sex allowance which negates her penalty here. So, it looks…

04/03/2020 1st 8/1 – The Warrior – Lee Carter Lingfield Park
Nice winner for the Lee Carter yard. Original quote: "Gutsy winner at Lingfield last time out over this trip. Only 2lbs higher and still well-treated. Can, however, be a bit of a quirky sort so not certain to replicate that run - despite being more than capable of doing so. Seems well at home though…

03/03/2020 1st 4/1 – Cape Greco – Gay Kelleway Southwell
Nice call from Gay. Original quote: "Ran a blinder here last week (2nd) - ran better than we thought as that came off a break too. Same mark and we've another claiming jockey in the plate - Toby Eley rides this time and takes off 5lbs. Dropping back to 7f here is no issue either…

02/03/2020 1st 2/1 – The Dawn Man – Michael Scudamore Wetherby
Loved the extra yardage - this will open a lot more doors. Original quote: "Another that's come from the Claire Dyson yard and is having it's first run for us. Point winner but is yet to win under rules (14 runs). Had been rated a lot higher in the past and this doesn't look a…

02/03/2020 2nd 11/2 – Big Lachie – Mark Loughnane Wolverhampton
Just got nabbed on the line. Original quote: "Big Lachie didn't fire at all last time out, which is very unlike him, but nothing has come to light at home and he is working well since - seems good in himself since that disappointing run. Hollie Doyle rode him to finish 2nd over course and…

01/03/2020 3rd 16/1 – Little Boy Boru – Suzy Smith Huntingdon
Top run and only just failed to get the job done! Original quote: "Came out of his last race well and hopeful of another good performance with this drop in grade. Can't have the ground soft enough and stays strongly. Big field but he should be thereabouts at the finish."

29/02/2020 2nd 11/4 – War Empress – Julia Feilden Southwell
Solid effort from Julia's horse. Original quote: "Has been improving with racing and a step up in trip. She looked like the 2m should suit when running over 1m6f at Southwell last time. Ben Curtis riding is a plus, so should at least have an e/w chance."

29/02/2020 1st 11/2 – De Bruyne Horse – David C Griffiths Southwell
Top winner for Dave Griffiths. Original quote: "Experienced sort, but up and down form so far since joining us - debut run was a close second but failed to build on that last time at the same track - nothing came out of that to explain it, so just one of those things! Well-handicapped on…

29/02/2020 3rd 18/1 – Rydan – Gary Moore Lingfield Park
Much better from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Needs to show some old sparkle has been a bit below-par of late. On a plus, is dropping down the ratings and Rhys takes off a handy 3lbs but probably each-way at best until we see a bit more sparkle on the track. 1 1/2 stars."

28/02/2020 2nd 10/1 – Do Your Job – Michael Scudamore Newbury
No chance with the winner but a nice run - one to note. Original quote: "Winning pointer and showed a fair level of form on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter when with Claire Dyson. First run for us and only third career outing so will have more to come. Been doing well at home but we'll…

28/02/2020 3rd 9/1 – Cafe Milano – Simon Dow Lingfield Park
Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Looks like he will have to try handicapping if he can't land this. Arguably unlucky on penultimate start which was here and not suited by how the race worked out last time. Seems in good shape and no surprise if he gets back on track here."

27/02/2020 3rd 6/1 – Numero Uno – Tim Vaughan Musselburgh
Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Only average form to day, but first run over hurdles today in a handicap and that will help. Conditions are fine and is well after a few months out. Better expected today - each-way chance."

27/02/2020 2nd 11/2 – Electron Bleu – Tim Vaughan Ludlow
Ran on well to make it a TQ 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "Just the one win under rules and that came over fences. Had first run back from a wind op last time at Newcastle and has come on for that outing. Bit more needed upped in grade here but feel he should…

27/02/2020 1st 7/2 – Exodela – Jamie Snowden Ludlow
Top winner for Jamie. Original quote: "Exod'ela has been placed in two bumpers and two novice hurdles this season and arrives here on handicap debut off a mark of 119, which isn't a "gimme". However, we've not quite found the key to him yet, but might find handicaps the way forward now. The application…

26/02/2020 1st 10/1 – Animal – Suzy Smith Market Rasen
Lovely introduction. Original quote: "Big long striding horse. Has been working nicely at home. Hard to tell just how good the others are or might be with no form to go on, but some strong pedigrees. So just hopeful of a nice intro today and fingers crossed he can reach the frame - he shouldn't…

26/02/2020 2nd 6/1 – Dadsintrouble – Tim Vaughan Musselburgh
Solid run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Nice horse on his day - had his issues in recent seasons but returned from his latest break with an encouraging effort at Warwick (4th of 13). Same mark here but we've a 5lb claimer on this time in Charlie Price to help with his 12-0 burden. Trip…

26/02/2020 1st 4/1 – Mukha Magic – Gay Kelleway Southwell
Well-judged rided to win with a bit to spare. Original quote: "Ran better than we expected last time off a break when third at Chelmsford a few weeks ago. Has come out of that race well so off the same mark and with George riding (claims 7lbs) again then should not be far away. First…

25/02/2020 3rd 9/2 – Agamemmon – Henry Oliver Catterick
Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Ask Paddy, who has won it's last three will be an obvious danger, but hopefully with that horse going up another 8lbs it's winning run might come to an end! We come here with a chance though after winning two runs back at Sedgefield and then not…

25/02/2020 1st 4/1 – Talkingpicturestv – Henry Oliver Catterick
Nice winner for Henry Original quote: "Never went a yard the last day at Uttoxeter - ran flat, which was frustrating as he ran really well the time before (2nd). Nothing came to light so if that effort can be forgiven then an each-way chance in what doesn't look the best of races. Handles the…

24/02/2020 2nd 11/1 – Buy Me Back – Mark Loughnane Wolverhampton
No chance with the easy winner, but a nice e/w run. Original quote: "Buy Me Back is having her first run for our yard today and is working well enough at home, although we have only had her for a couple of weeks. She was ran out of it in the last few yards over…
