07/12/19 3rd 15/2 – Louse Talk – Charlie Longsdon – Chepstow

Louse Talk won a couple of hurdles last season. He drops back in trip after making his chase debut over further and if the jumping holds up he could go close.

07/12/19 2nd 16/1 – Fixed Rate – Charlie Mann – Aintree

He hasn’t run for over a year so and he might find the trip a little bit short but we needed to get a run into him. He’ll probably need the race today.

07/12/19 3rd 6/1 – Donnie Brasco – Kim Bailey – Chepstow

This former English pointer ran well when third on his hurdling debut. He was some way behind the winner that day and as he reopposes, Donnie will find it tough to reverse the form. Small place chances.

07/12/19 2nd 9/2 – Lisdoonvarna Lad – Charlie Longsdon – Wetherby

Lisdoonavorna Lad was rather disappointing last time, but he will have his chance in a slightly easier race today. He stays the trip well.

07/12/19 3rd 25/1 – Local Affair – Charlie Longsdon – Aintree

We've saved Local Affair for this fillies' Listed hurdle as it's often fairly soft. It isn't this time and she'll struggle to get in the first three.

07/12/19 2nd 12/1 – Only Orsenfoolsies – Micky Hammond – Wetherby

Only Orsenfoolsies has nothing to hide from anybody and has been a wonderful servant to the yard. He is at the top of his handicap level but the 10lb we claim off him could enable him to run another good race.

07/12/19 1st 11/2 – Dominateur – Oliver Sherwood – Chepstow

Dominateur fell on his chase debut at Carlisle but it was a single novicy lapse in an otherwise assured display. He continues to go well at home, stays the trip and should go close.

07/12/19 3rd 10/1 – Trio For Rio – Warren Greatrex – Chepstow

Trio For Rio disappointed on his seasonal comeback over shorter at Aintree. We expect a better showing over this longer trip for this former winning pointer.

07/12/19 3rd 50/1 – Akarita Lights – Ian Williams – Chepstow

Akarita Lights won at Market Rasen in May but was well beaten on his return at Hereford last month. We're hoping for a better showing this afternoon.

07/12/19 3rd 16/1 – Hes Our Star – Ali Stronge – Wolverhampton

He’s Our Star is a great fun horse whose runs haven’t been too bad on the all-weather. The drop back in trip should suit him better and we are hopeful of a good run at a big price.

06/12/19 2nd 5/1 – Justforjames – Micky Hammond – Sedgefield

Tribal Commander was getting close to winning when last seen on the Flat. On the evidence of his hurdling debut at Ludlow, though, this novice contest looks pretty hot and beyond his reach.

06/12/19 2nd 16/1 – Paint The Dream – Fergal O’Brien – Sandown

Paint The Dream is in good form but needs the experience today. We are hoping for a solid clear round - he didn't get far on chase debut first time out - but he was useful enough over hurdles.

06/12/19 3rd 9/4 – Happygolucky – Kim Bailey – Sandown

This horse has done little wrong in his two hurdle runs and deserves to be taking his chance in this decent race. The trip might be a shade on the short side but the hill at Sandown will help him. He has every right of being sent off the favourite and we are hopeful he…

06/12/19 2nd 9/1 – Petite Power – Fergal O’Brien – Exeter

This race looks made for Petite Power but he does have to carry a lot of weight over a marathon trip. He remains in good form so hopefully he will go close again.

06/12/19 2nd 4/1 – Universal Folly – Nicky Richards – Sedgefield

Sedgefield isn't an ideal track for running inexperienced bumper horses. Universal Folly is a lovely chasing type for the future and the ups and downs may not help him.

06/12/19 3rd 3/1 – The Edgar Wallace – Kim Bailey – Exeter

The Edgar Wallace is a lovely-looking horse who has been pleasing us at home. You never know what you are going to encounter in a bumper, but we like him and expect a bold showing.

05/12/19 3rd 7/2 – Im Wiser Now – Fergal O’Brien – Wincanton

I'm Wiser Now has been given a fair handicap mark. He's a very consistent sort who will enjoy this ground, but there are a few in here with similar credentials. So each-way claims, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him finally get his first win.

05/12/19 2nd 11/4 – Shanacoole Prince – Kim Bailey – Leicester

Shanacoole Prince improved a good deal on his Irish point-to-point form when rather surprising us by winning first time out at Hereford. He has improved since, but with one at least to beat we're probably looking at place chances.

05/12/19 3rd 14/1 – Capone – Charlie Mann – Wincanton

Capone obviously needs to improve as he’s been quite disappointing so far. The track and ground should suit and hopefully we can get him back to last season's level in which case he'll be an each-way prospect.

05/12/19 3rd 13/2 – Seaside Girl – Ben Pauling – Leicester

Seaside Girl is a really nice mare if not the quickest. She'll like the ground and the track and jumps very well. She had her wind done in Ireland after her third point-to-point and we've never had any worries with it. She should go close.
