Rogue Storm should be winning off this mark. She ran well the last day from a horrible draw and should go well in this weak affair.

03/08/22 – 2nd 9/1 – Dynamic Talent – Darryll Holland – Kempton Park
Dynamic Talent won well around here in the spring, making all and drawing clear. Things haven't quite gone right for him in his two runs since but he's in good form now and a return to Kempton could bring the desired result.

03/08/22 – 2nd 11/1 – Quoteline Direct – Micky Hammond – Pontefract

Quoteline Direct needs all the help he can get and the vastly-experienced Freddie Tett will give him excellent assistance from the saddle. Freddie phoned for the ride en route from Italy after riding there at the weekend and hopefully Quoteline will run to his best.

03/08/22 – 3rd 16/1 – Legendary Day – Hughie Morrison – Kempton Park

Legendary Day has been disappointing but then he had a fibrillating heart last year and that cannot have helped. We need soft ground for him on turf, so he's here instead and we hope he can finish in the money.

01/08/22 – 3rd 28/1 – Gatwick Kitten – Ali Stronge – Carlisle

It's a long way to Carlisle but Gatwick Kitten runs as he gives his owner a chance to ride at this all-female meeting. He was a good second last time at Leicester when professionally ridden and now is a couple of pounds out of the weights. Not an easy task but he generally runs his…

01/08/22 – 3rd 20/1 – Ailish T – Fergal O’Brien – Carlisle

Two tough tasks for Fern against professional female jockeys but two nice rides. Ailish T didn't run too badly last time and looks nicely weighted. Place prospects.

31/07/22 – 2nd 10/1 – Brickadank – Micky Hammond – Market Rasen

Brickadank has been off for a while but he has been working very well at home and we think he will outrun his odds today. We are hoping he might sneak into a place although to expect anything more about a lowly-rated 16-race maiden is optimistic indeed.

31/07/22 – 1st 11/4 – Landen Calling – Fergal O’Brien – Market Rasen

Landen Calling has been running consistently since going over longer trips. We take 7lb off his big weight and there is no reason why he should not go close again.

31/07/22 – 1st 8/11 – Pencreek – Ben Pauling – Market Rasen

Pencreek could hardly have won more easily at Stratford three days ago and looks sure to go up by at least 7lb in Tuesday's new ratings. We're claiming 7lb with Dylan rather than Luca's 3lb to help offset the penalty. If in the same form he should go in again, but there's always a worry…

30/07/22 – 1st 8/1 – Aqwaam – Ian Williams – Galway

Aqwaam is a promising type who didn't get the clearest of runs at Sandown last time. When we planned the trip to Galway we hadn't foreseen the ground's turning so soft and there is no way of knowing whether he will handle it. If he does, well and good; if he doesn't there will be…

30/07/22 – 1st 7/2 – Ajero – Kim Bailey – Goodwood

The draw is not ideal for Ajero but hopefully he will get a good break which really is important. On his Ascot form he must go close. He is well and we are hopeful of a very bold showing. It's a tough race but he so deserves to win one of these.

– Urban Artist – Hughie Morrison – Goodwood

30/07/22 - 2nd 18/1 Original quote: "If it had been soft or even heavy we would have been going there today fancying Urban Artist's chance but on fast ground they usually go too quickly for her. One thing for certain, she will run her race and that toughness might help her into a place as…

28/07/22 – 3rd 8/1 – Pablo Prince – J Best & K Jewell – Epsom
Pablo Prince ran well after a break last time at Windsor and would have been nearer bar being stuck in traffic at a crucial stage. He will improve for that run and while the track is an unknown I expect him to handle it. Each-way chances.

28/07/22 – 2nd 6/1 – Al Karrar – Tom Clover – Goodwood
Al Karrar is a very exciting colt who won impressively on debut in a race that has been working out very well. He can be quite highly strung but if he handles the preliminaries he'll run a big race.

28/07/22 – 1st 9/4 – Pencreek – Ben Pauling – Stratford upon Avon

Pencreek is gradually improving with his runs over fences and gained a deserved first win last time at Worcester. Up 4lb for that he has the ability to shrug that off and follow up.

27/07/22 – 1st 20/1 – Helluvaboy – Ali Stronge – Leicester

Things haven't quite gone to plan for Helluvaboy so far this year for one reason or another. We're putting the blinkers back on and will ask the jockey to ride him more positively but as usual at this time of year the bugbear is having three-year-olds to run against with their weight advantage. Small place…

27/07/22 – 1st 4/1 – City Runner – Brian Meehan – Sandown

City Runner had a busy time at the start of the year and needed the break after his last race almost six weeks ago. He seems to have found all his old fizz on the gallops and on a track where he's gone well - second in the Esher Cup - he can make them…

27/07/22 -1st 11/4 – The Rutland Rebel – Micky Hammond – Perth

The ground clearly dried out nicely through last night's meeting at Perth so conditions should suit The Rutland Rebel. He has been running okay on the flat and we've always thought he could win a hurdle. This conditionals' race with a very confident Emma able to claim 3lb looks the ideal opportunity to prove our…

26/07/22 – 1st 4/1 – Chess Player – Ben Pauling – Worcester

It's hard to believe Chess Player is still a maiden over hurdles as he went very close on both starts this season and deserves to get his head in front. He has schooled brilliantly and giving weight to inferior opponents in this novice handicap chase should be the chance for him to gain that elusive…

26/07/22 – 1st 100/30 – Irv – Micky Hammond – Beverley

Irv has run well around Beverley this season and off this very low mark he has to be competitive. He should enjoy stepping up to 10f and with Becky riding in such good form he has to represent a great each-way chance. Maybe today will be the day to end his long losing run.
