About: Trainers Quotes

Java Point is a solid performer in three-mile handicap chases and won at Sandown earlier in the year. He usually improves for his first run each winter and that could be the case again today.

Ga Law won the Paddy Power Gold Cup two years ago and bar a last-fence fall would have followed up in the SkyBet Chase at Doncaster. He took a while to come back to himself after that, but did so in a valuable handicap here in January and went close in the Grade 2 Oaksey…

Jackson Street has been a real problem for us, very rarely doing on the track what he does at home. I'm getting desperate as dropping him to 6f probably shows. If that doesn't work, I don't know what we can do with him.

Icare Grandchamp signed off his summer campaign with a win at Newton Abbot but seemed a bit ring-rusty at Bangor. He should be match-fit and much more dangerous today.

Tempted has fallen into the stronger division. She was too keen last time but still ran well and has an experience edge on all of these fillies. She has an ideal draw and can go close.

Little Watson ran a super race at Southwell latest and there's no reason why he shouldn't put up a similar performance with conditions the same. The market will show the expectations about the newcomers but he sets the standard on form here.

Killenaule has drawn the one box but sometimes a newcomer can get trapped on the rail if he doesn't break smartly. A son of Kitten's Joy, he has shown promise at home.

We've asked big questions of Sahara Dancer on her two runs so far and she's now back in easier company. Although penalised for her debut win for her previous stable, she fits well here and we have to hold out high hopes for her today.

Twirler has been out of form lately but if she could get back to the solid runs she put in on AW last spring she would look overpriced. Place chances.

Nazuki ran a very promising first race around here despite a slow start. She has Rossa Ryan on board today and from the inside draw should have every chance of going one better. Hopeful.

Lady Tadita is by the ill-fated Arc 3rd Masterstroke and is from the family of the smart hurdler/chaser Geos. One of her brothers won last week over hurdles. She goes nicely at home and we think she has a bright future. It's her first day at school but hopefully, she can run well here.

Sanitiser has been running well over hurdles. Freddie had a ride on him at Fontwell last time and that should stand them in good stead in this conditional riders' race. He's overdue a first jumps win.

Climbing was placed over hurdles but he jumps fences well and was a good 2nd on his chasing debut and 3rd on his next start. He disappointed last time when seeming not to handle the undulations of Sedgefield. Back on a more conventional circuit, he should have his chance again.

Hurricane Pat, our other runner, has experience from two second places in Irish point-to-points. This looks potentially a decent bumper so we'll be hoping for a prominent showing for our pair.

Two also in this. Edward Sexton, who makes his debut, is by Jukebox Jury out of a mare who won her three races, two bumpers and a Grade 3 hurdle, all in Ireland. Edward Sexton is her first foal to run and owner-tbreeder David Dunsdon has the ride. 

Officer Of State is rated 83 on the flat based on his decent French form. His three hurdle runs in competitive novice races last season for us have brought a hurdles mark of 97. He could be well in or conversely very badly handicapped on the flat. We'll find out more this afternoon!

We run two in this handicap hurdle. Mark Of Gold tops the weights. If he could recapture the form of his Kempton success in February, he would probably figure, but he ended last season disappointingly and has it to prove again here.

If Cerulean Summer could get away with losing five lengths at the start rather than 100 yards then she would have a chance as was the case two runs back when she came through to win. Her best chance is if they go hard - as long as she stays in touch. Again not one…
