Havaila showed some promise in staying handicaps on the flat in the autumn but his two runs over jumps since then have been disappointing considering there were no fitness issues. On his best form, he would have a decent shout.

31st Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st 16/1 – A Path To Ronda – Jamie Snowden Uttoxeter
This Getaway filly is a half-sister to five winners including smart Simonsig. Out of a bumper and hurdle winner, she is bred to be talented and again was in pre-training in Ireland all through 2023. She arrived here in the autumn, has done plenty of work and can go well here on racecourse debut.

31st Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 17/2 – Friday Again – Simon Dow Lingfield
Two in this. Friday Again has shown signs of ability in her maidens and this track should play to her strengths. She may well stay further in time and still shows signs of inexperience but it would be no surprise to see her involved if things go smoothly for her.

31st Dec 2024 – RESULT 3rd 13/2 – Cinquenta – Jamie Snowden Warwick
This Cokoriko gelding is out of a sister to 13-times flat winner Aussie Lyrics from the family of Listed jumps winner Belcanista. He was top lot at the Tatts store sale in May last year and we left him in Ireland for pre-training. He ran well to be 3rd on racecourse debut although green and…

30th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 15/2 – Hollygrove Cha Cha – Jamie Snowden Taunton
Hollygrove Cha Cha won both her bumpers in her first season and this season won easily on hurdles debut over 2m5f at Ludlow. Then she was very impressive under a penalty earlier this month over 2m3f at Fontwell showing bags of speed. She deserves her place at Listd level now and let's hope she can…

28th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd (finished 1st, disq) 15/2 – Profitman – B. F. Brookhouse Southwell
Profitman was badly drawn the last day but ran a mighty race, settling well in behind and travelling nicely. A mile here with cover looks on the cards tonight and as he came out of the Wolves race in good form we have to be hopeful.

– Just Ten High – Dylan Cunha Southwell
28/12/24 - RESULT 1st 7/2 Original quote: "Just Ten High has enjoyed a great year, really only disappointing last time. We've freshened him up since then and are dropping him back a furlong. He should run a huge race and be right there."

28th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 25/1 – Wendigo – Jamie Snowden Newbury
A point winner for James Bowe in Ireland, Wendigo won two bumpers last season, looking a tough, game performer. He ran well when 2nd on hurdling debut before improving to win very easily last time out. This looks a seriously hot race but our chap has done nothing wrong and deserves his place in this…

27th Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st Evens – Julius Des Pictons – Jamie Snowden Chepstow
Julius Des Pictons is a French-bred son of Cokorico. He was placed in three bumpers in France before winning one and then ran 2nd in two novice hurdles there. He came to us last winter when we slotted him into our routine and, giving him time to acclimatise. Second on stable and UK debut in…

26th Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st 5/2 – Inishnabro – Henry Oliver Market Rasen
Inishnabro has done well, finishing in the money in both novice hurdles. This former pointer is therefore qualified for handicaps after two runs and can make a spiriited challenge here from a low point in the handicap.

26th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 5/1 – Sanitiser – Gary Moore Fontwell
Sanitiser took his time winning over hurdles, but as that success was in a conditionals' handicap at Kempton, he escapes a penalty in this novice hurdle. On top of that, promising conditional Rob takes 7lb off so it looks a good opportunity. We're pretty much ignoring the last run at Fakenham, a track that doesn't…

21st Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st 13/8 – Kotmask – Gary Moore Ascot
Kotmask was 3rd and then 2nd in successive races around here last month, when possibly the first effort was slightly the better. In-form and consistent, he should be bang there at the finish.

21st Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st 11/1 – Magna Gee Gee – Dylan Cunha Wolverhampton
Magna Gee Gee ran his best race of three last time out when he was still in with a chance until tiring late into 4th. Has been allowed plenty compared with the trio that beat him and if he improves by a similar amount here, he should have a good each-way shout.

21//12/24 – RESULT 1st 5/2 – Milldam – Jamie Snowden Haydock
Milldam has progressed year on year since coming over from France and came to himself last season winning three deep-ground handicaps over 2m. He needed his comeback run two weeks ago and providing we're not bringing him back too soon after that, he looks to have a great chance here. He gets his beloved heavy…

20th Dec 2024 – RESULT 1st 11/2 – Mark of Gold – Gary Moore Ascot
Mark Of Gold has an enviable record of wins, seven from 20 over hurdles and three more on the level. He starts chasing in a four-runner novice affair where his hurdle rating suggests (unlike the bookmakers) he has a big chance. Interesting.

18/12/24 – 3rd 25/1 – Leon Trotsky – Julia Feilden Chelmsford
Unfortunately, Leon Trotsky has to run in the same race as Smokey Malone. He has been a slow burner so far and we are hoping that sending him up in trip will bring improvement from him.

18/12/24 – RESULT 2nd 4/1 – Audacious Annie – Jamie Snowden Ffos Las
Audacious Annie has a bit to live up to as a sister to You Wear It Well, but she won her bumper impressively on debut. She wasn't beaten far in a Listed bumper on her 2nd start after which we gave her time to strengthen and mature. We put her in at the deep end…

18th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 16/1 – Taita Hills – Gary Moore Lingfield
Taita Hills is also an English point winner, but he had almost two years between his first and second runs for the stable. He wasn't disgraced after the layoff behind our smart horse Miller Spirit when he made a winning jumps debut around here last month. He can improve on that today.

18th Dec 2024 – RESULT 2nd 14/1 – Moulins Clermont – Gary Moore Newbury
Moulins Clermont was off the track for almost two years before his recent comeback on this track last month. He looked ring-rusty then as he trailed the field from the outset and may need a run or two more to get going again.
