Noble Behest has done all his winning - for his two previous stables - at two miles. Probably this trip is still on the short side.

14/10/2019 1st 9/4 – Forbidden Dance – Hughie Morrison Wolverhampton
Forbidden Dance has been running well lately. She remains in good form and has an excellent chance of going close.

12/10/2019 3rd 5/1 – Imperial Aura – Kim Bailey Chepstow
Imperial Aura has done nothing wrong in his four starts. A winner and placed in bumpers, he then won his first two starts over hurdles. He looks well treated on form but there is a big difference between winning a small-field novice hurdle to tackling a competitive handicap with lots of runners. Ground is a…

12/10/2019 4th 33/1 – Not So Sleepy – Hughie Morrison Newmarket
If Not So Sleepy gets away and runs happily in midfield for the greater part of the race, he could easily run on and be dangerous at the finish. Consistency is not his greatest asset though, so while he might make the first four, chances are if things do not go for him he could…

12/10/2019 1st 7/1 – Speed Company – Ian Williams Chepstow
Speed Company will love the ground. He's fit and well and has a nice weight. He's still a novice so I think we can have some fun with him this winter.

12/10/2019 1st 11/2 – Jarveys Plate – Fergal O’Brien Chepstow
There are only two opponents for Jarveys Plate on his chasing debut. The ideal introduction would be a creditable third place - behind two horses who come out above him at the weights on hurdles form - and a safe clear round.

12/10/2019 1st 11/2 – Speed Merchant – Brian Meehan Wolverhampton
Speed Merchant ran well for a long way last time over a mile at Southwell but didn't quite get home. We're dropping him down both in class to a seller and back to six furlongs and rate him a great each-way bet today.

11/10/2019 3rd 20/1 – Lairig Ghru – Micky Hammond Newcastle
Lairig Ghru ran very well on debut at Pontefract. He has been improving at home but faces a big field tonight. Each-way chances.

10th Oct 2019 3rd 11/2 – Quaint – Hughie Morrison Southwell
We bought Quaint at the breeze-ups and gave her a run quite early on and she ran with some promise. She has been showing ability in her work lately and could go well today.

10/10/2019 3rd 11/1 – Dandridge – Charlie Longsdon Exeter
I seem always to be saying the same thing about Dandridge before his races. He usually runs well for most of the way but then has to be content with maybe second or third. He's become hard to win with, but one day he'll translate a place into an overdue win - hopefully today.

10/10/2019 2nd 15/8 – Dan Gun – Fergal O’Brien Exeter
Dan Gun has been a disappointment on what he has been showing at home. He wasn't in great form in the summer but could show up better in this weak race. Each-way hopes.

10/10/2019 1st 4/1 – North Star Oscar – Warren Greatrex Worcester
Original quote: "North Star Oscar won nicely in June and after a couple of runs has come back down to a very workable mark. He is in good form at home and we are hoping he can end on a high here before going off on his winter break."

10/10/2019 1st 11/4 – Old Jeroboam – Charlie Longsdon Worcester
Old Jeroboam slightly surprised us when winning both his bumpers so we are looking forward now to his hurdles career. He has plenty to learn about jumping and will have a big disadvantage in experience terms with the Nicholls horse. Hopeful rather than optimistic.

10/10/2019 1st 5/1 – Thegallantway – Fergal O’Brien Exeter
Thegallantway ran well in one of his bumpers. He has been in great form at home and jumps well. He's probably not good enough to win this but could run into a place.

09/10/2019 1st 9/2 – Trouble Shooter – Shaun Keightley Newcastle
Trouble Shooter has been improving with his races and was a real eye-opening coming from a long way back at Kempton last time. He remains in good form and we're hopeful he can make it five out of six.

09/10/2019 1st 6/4 – Byron Flyer – Ian Williams Ludlow
Byron Flyer is carrying a lot of weight but his jumping was very good and accurate last time and the step up to two and a half will suit. I won't be fussed if something else is keen to make the running. It's a nice race but a tough one with all that weight.

09/10/2019 1st 11/10 – Yeavering Belle – Kim Bailey Ludlow
On paper this looks a two-horse race. Yeavering Belle has decent bumper form and although she won a weak novice hurdle at Newton Abbot by the narrowest of margins she is a great deal better than that performance. The step up in trip will help and she must have a fantastic chance of winning this.

09/10/2019 1st 2/1 – Urban Artist – Hughie Morrison Ludlow
Urban Artist undoubtedly has the best public form of those to have run with her Cheltenham fourth in a valuable mares' bumper reading very well. Whether she will enjoy the sharp turns of Ludlow is another matter, but if she copes with it, she'd have to go close.

09/10/2019 1st 11/2 – Global Tour – Fergal O’Brien Stratford upon Avon
Global Tour has enjoyed a good summer and remains in excellent form at home. This race is more competitive than some he has contested recently but we are hopeful that he has an each-way chance.

07/10/2019 2nd 5/1 – Neverbeen To Paris – Harry Whittington Stratford upon Avon
Neverbeen To Paris is a hardy, tough little character who relishes his work at home. This track and trip should suit him well so we are looking forward to running him. This is his debut run for the yard so I am sure we will learn plenty about him today. We think that he will…
