We were delighted with Goshen's last run at Lingfield where he had every chance and was only run out of things late on. He still showed a few quirks jumping right but back at Sandown that should not be a problem. A CD winner, we hope that yesterday's rain has got into the ground making…

Shallwehaveonemore is yet to get off the mark over hurdles but has had only two runs and was highly-tried here last time behind Constitution Hill in the Tolworth Hurdle. We are unlikely to meet anything of his class today  and the ground should be fine. We feel he's improved for that run too having come…

Kiltealy Briggs is out of a sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs and is a staying chaser through and through. He was second in a bumper and won two novice hurdles before developing into a useful novice chaser last season. Despite being placed in Graded novices, Graduation chases and handicaps he remained a novice for…

Bounced back to form last time at Southwell with an all-the-way win. Up 4lbs for that here and back at Newcastle, but is also a CD winner here too. Has come out of that last race well and this is also a drop in grade. But does have a fair bit more racing weight than…

Has been a frustrating horse to train as has the ability but has only won once over the sticks from 17 runs. A bit better and a slight return to form last time when fourth here. 4lbs lower so very well treated on old form. Might have wanted it a bit softer, but the ground…

Didn't get the best of starts last time at Southwell but still ran on for 4th - the winner got a flyer over the 5f that day and was always going to be hard to catch. Into a Classified Stakes race here and the step up to 6f is okay - has won over this…

Top winner for Julia and the team - great ride too! Original quote: "Has been running consistently well, he had to take on better horses last run in a better grade but still ran well, a drop of 1lb sees him get into this 0-55 grade and Dylan Hogan gets on well with him. Drop…

Ran on well to take 2nd. Original quote: "Had a bit of a tall ask last time in a Claimer against a much higher-rated runner, but still ran on well that day to take second. Back into a handicap here and first run here at Southwell. Track expected to suit and Harry Burns continues in…

A nice run from this TQ VIEW e/w pick. Original quote: "Ran very poorly last time out at Wolverhampton - raced way too free and didn't settle. Will obvioulsy need to improve on that here but did run much better two runs back, when a close third at the same track on similar terms. George…

Much better run from Ed's runner. Original quote: "Has been very frustrating and is now 14 runs on the AW without a win. Was given a bit too much to do the last day at Lingfield but Rhys takes over in the saddle to claim 3lbs so that will help. Also feel the cheekpieces will…

Another top TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Running well this Winter without winning so far but this is a good chance for him on any of his best form. Well drawn and top rider (Hollie Doyle) booked. Can't be overlooked."

Only just failed. Original quote: "Still a maiden but not beaten far in recent runs and sure to be involed again from a decent draw. Drop back in trip should not be a problem and must win soon."

Top call from Tim. Original quote: "Ran on well over 2m at Hereford the last day so hopeful this step back up in trip here (2m3f) will help him a lot. A pound lower too and gets in here with just 10-2 in weight. Yet to find the winners' enclosure (20 runs) but is now…

Jumped well to take this. Original quote: "Hot race the last day at Cheltenham so will find this a bit easier. Down 5lbs in the ratings too and before that last run ran a solid second at Newbury off just a pound higher. Seems well at home after a few months off too and will…

Easy win as expected for Gary's horse. Original quote: "Another of ours with a big chance today. Nice winner on rules debut at Fontwell on Boxing Day and then wasn't disgraced when second in a better race at Newbury a few weeks ago. Calmer waters here and although the Henderson and Williams runners are respected…
