Jayarebe's form in France has stood up well. Economics proved too strong for him at the finish there and then won the Irish Champion Stakes. This is a great spot for our very good 3yo, although I see there has been plenty of money for Economics' stablemate My Prospero.

03/10/24 – 1st 11/8 – Kaylan – Fergal O’Brien – Warwick
As with many German-bred horses, Kaylan has plenty of staying blood in his pedigree. We are looking forward to this bumper debut.

03/10/24 – 1st 13/2 – Harry’s Hope – Ben Pauling – Southwell
Harry's Hope is in good order. She jumps well and has a good chance of being in the three.

03/10/24 – 1st 11/1 – Ikigai Star – Charlie Longsdon – Southwell
Ikigai Star ran well when 2nd last time at Worcester. He has a handy weight and Davis Bass offers stronger handling. Can go well.

02/10/24 – 3rd 11/2 – Parramount – Charlie Longsdon – Kempton Park
Parramount enjoys his runs on the flat and always goes nicely on AW. This qualifier for a series is competitive for the grade, but he should be bang there at the finish.

02/10/24 – 2nd 12/1 – Green Team – Ian Williams – Catterick
Green Team is a winner waiting to happen. He's been 3rd the last three and will not mind the ground. Big chance.

02/10/24 – 3rd 25/1 – Nowhere – Hughie Morrison – Kempton Park
These fillies' maidens seem to be getting harder where ordinarily you would expect the reverse. She is qualified for the valuable GB bonuses so we are persevering in those races. Each-way chance and worth us taking the gamble.

01/10/24 – 1st 9/4 – I’m Ravenous – Ben Pauling – Sedgefield
We were disappointed when I'm Ravenous failed to land the odds at Worcester after his layoff, but after leading he made a mistake at the wrong time and had nothing left for the closing stages. We've found another suitable maiden hurdle opportunity for him and hopefully this time he will take it.

01/10.24 – 2nd 7/1 – Surrey Charm – Hughie Morrison – Bath
Surrey Charm came back after a long break with a solid 3rd of 5 at Ffos Las. While she looks pretty exposed, her ability to cope with the heavy ground that she encountered there, puts her in with a shout.

28/09/24 – 1st 11/2 – Saint Riquier – Ian Williams – Market Rasen
I've been saying that Saint Riquier is a better hurdler than flat racer. Three recent wins on the level - after a two-year absence under either code - have put the jumps/flat ratings into a fair relationship. I'm very hopeful he can strike first time back over hurdles too.

27/09/24 – 1st 11/4 – Surrey Belle – Hughie Morrison – Haydock
I'm taking my chance with Surrey Belle even though there are questions about the ground. Both her wins to date have been on AW and I've no idea what to expect here, but we are rather running out of time.

27/09/24 – 2nd 14/1 – Chancycourt – Fergal O’Brien – Worcester
Chancycourt returned from a break with an early unseat around here this month. Before his summer off, he had run well at Southwell. He needs some luck but if he gets his jumping right he will be involved.

26/09/24 – 3rd 9/1 – Switchel – Hughie Morrison – Southwell
We've always thought Switchel had an engine but she hasn't managed to put everything together. She clearly didn't handle heavy ground last time, but this surface should be fine. She'll probably be going home after this - unless she did win of course.

26/09/24 – 1st 6/1 – Jungle Run – Tom Clover – Southwell
Jungle Run seems to have turned over a new leaf, winning his last two. This is more demanding than either of those races, but he's in great form and the hat-trick is a real possibility.

26/09/24 – 1st 11/8 – Al Nayyir – Tom Clover – Newmarket
Al Nayyir ran a blinder at York where he would probably have got past Vauban in a couple more strides. That horse's 2nd to Kyprios in the Irish St Leger did no harm to the form. Very hopeful.

25/09/24 – 2ns 13/2 – Beach Point – William Knight – Kempton Park
Beach Point goes up to 1m3f but I'm confident he'll handle it, especially on AW. He has the Richard Hughes horse to beat but he's in great shape and shouldn't be far away.

25/09/24 – 1st 5/4 – Tailorman – Ian Williams – Kempton Park
Tailorman has been running consistently all summer and is unexposed on AW - one run in the spring as he was just getting going. This looks his for the taking if he is okay on the surface, which I'm confident he will be.

25/09/24 – 3rd 16/1 – Gallivanted – Tom Clover – Kempton Park
Galivanted disappointed us on debut but he was too green to do himself justice. He is better than that and hopefully, he shapes with more promise today.

23/09/24 – 2nd 7/1 – Peter The Wolf – Warren Greatrex – Wolverhampton
Peter The Wolf made a good step forward from first run to second, finishing a creditable 3rd in a Class 2 race at Ascot. A similar improvement ought to make him a big threat down to Class 5 in this Confined race.
