Solid run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Three runs to date and despite no wins has shown some fair form. Not been seen since September though and all three runs have been on the turf so far. Handles soft ground though so the fibresand likely to suit. Visor on for the first time to help…

13/02/2020 1st 9/4 – Caltex – Michael Scudamore Leicester
Well backed and a nice winner for Scu - top stuff. Original quote: "First run for the yard - has had plenty of racing when with Gordon Elliott, Henry Oliver and more recently Claire Dyson but we'll learn a lot about him here today. Has settled in well though. Also returns from a few months…

12/02/2020 3rd 10/1 – Spanish Mane – Julia Feilden Kempton Park
Nice call from Julia. Original quote: "Ran well last time - considering the race didn't go to plan as she was meant to be up front because no obvious pace. She seems in good form and Sophie Ralston takes off a handy 5lbs. We hope things go to plan this time and she has an…

12/02/2020 3rd 25/1 – Winter Snowdrop – Julia Feilden Kempton Park
Much better from Julia's runner. Original quote: "Has struggled to get in a race off her rating - she has yet to prove that she likes the AW but she tries hard and this looks a weak race, so just hoping she can run well."

11/02/2020 2nd 6/1 – Moveonup – Gay Kelleway Chelmsford
Another top run from Gay's sprinter. Original quote: "We might have to play second fiddle here to the Stuart Williams horse who bolted-up last time out, but our horses are going well and if the hot favourite has an off day then we should take advantage. Moveonup has been a different horse since we dropped…

10/02/2020 2nd 11/1 – Robero – Gay Kelleway Wolverhampton
Went down by just a neck. Original quote: "The Crisford runner - Double Kodiac - is now a non-runner, so that helps. We head here on top form with a win at Southwell recently. We are up just 2lbs for that and the horse is past CD winner here too so we know he acts…

10/02/2020 3rd 8/1 – Darkest Day – Gary Moore Plumpton
Solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Step up in trip might help (up to 2m4f from 2m) and is also down in grade from last time - would have an e/w chance based on that."

10/02/2020 3rd 11/2 – Little Boy Boru – Suzy Smith Plumpton
Stayed on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Won this race last year and conditions should be ideal for him today as he bids to defend his title! Going has generally been too holding for him on all his starts this season and prefers the ground very wet. A couple look well-in here…

10/02/2020 1st 7/2 – Age of Wisdom – Gary Moore Plumpton
Loved the step up in trip. Original quote: "Acts well in this ground and is a course winner. Showed last time that a step up in distance might bring out some improvement in him - up again in distsance here 2m3f to 3m1f, but if improving further for that then should have e/w claims with…

08/02/2020 1st 20/1 – Magwadiri – Mark Loughnane Wolverhampton
Great story - first ride and a winner for Cam Hillhouse. Original quote: "Magwadiri doesn't seem to be as good on the all-weather as he is on turf, but today is more about giving young Cameron his first ride under rules. Difficult to fancy today under this novice rider, but definitely has the ability at…

08/02/2020 2nd 11/1 – Copper Gone West – Tim Vaughan Warwick
Nice e/w run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Looks one of my better chances on the day. Listed Hurdle race so a nice pot to aim at and she took a big step forward last time with a fine second in a similar race at Sandown so deserves to take her chance. A horse we…

08/02/2020 1st 9/1 – Ask Himself – Michael Scudamore Warwick
Top winner for Scu. Original quote: "Ran well at Hereford two runs back (close second) but flopped as an odds-on favourite at Kelso last time. Is certainly better than that - and scoped dirty after that race so did have an excuse. We've given him 2 months to get over that and seems well at…

08/02/2020 1st 5/1 – Baboin – Tim Vaughan Uttoxeter
Nice winner for Tim. Original quote: "Doesn't look the best of races. Former Joseph O'Brien runner that is having his second run for us. Needed the run last time out at Lingfield last month but has come out of that race well and improved for it. Has some fair form in Ireland. Probably would have…

08/02/2020 1st 9/1 – Sussex Ranger – Gary Moore Newbury
Much better from Gary's runner. Original quote: "Showed promise as a hurdler a few years ago but lost his way a bit since. Had 4 runs over fences and yet to win and despite running well two runs ago at Newbury failed to back that up at Lingfield last time. The better ground here might…

07/02/2020 2nd 13/2 – Kilfilum Cross – Henry Oliver Kempton Park
A much better run from Henry's grey . Original quote: "Second run back after a wind operation so we expect a lot better than last time. But that run came over a trip plenty on the sharp side for him and just found things happening a bit too quick which led to sloppy jumping. Back…

07/02/2020 3rd 10/1 – Clondaw Bisto – Suzy Smith Bangor
Solid each-way run. Original quote: "Has the ability and stays well but only he knows how he will run!! Blinkers not guaranteed to make a difference but has always gone well for Tom O'Brien in the past so that's encouraging."

07/02/2020 2nd 25/1 – Vision Clear – Gary Moore Kempton Park
Top call at 25/1 from Gary! Original quote: "Got his fair share of weight but does run well on the track (CD winner here) and with the better ground, hopefully he should have e/w chances at a fair price, with Niall also helping by taking off a handy 8lbs. "

06/02/2020 1st 8/1 – Cervaro Mix – Oliver Sherwood Huntingdon
Nice double on the day for Oliver. Original quote: "He is another that has had a frustrating winter waiting for better ground. He did run ok in slightly softer than ideal conditions last time out at Taunton but Gavin heard him make a bit of a noise and he has had a small wind procedure…

06/02/2020 1st 15/2 – Manning Estate – Oliver Sherwood Doncaster
Nice winner for Oliver and the team. Original quote: "He hasn’t run since falling in a novice chase at Huntingdon on his seasonal/chasing debut. We have been waiting for better ground ever since so it’s been a frustrating winter for his owners. There is little point going back chasing at this stage of the season…

06/02/2020 3rd 11/2 – Chiefofchiefs – Charlie Fellowes Meydan
Only just touched-off - but e/w money landed. Original quote: "Made a nice debut at Meydan last time out but I felt he didn't quite get home - in fact, I have felt that his 3 runs prior to that have all suggested a drop back in trip might suit. Pedigree also suggests it could…
