The flat season is not in full swing yet but there are some interesting runners starting to appear. One I like the look of is Hughie Morrison's Rock Peak in the 4.40 at Lingfield tomorrow. Rock Peak made a pleasing start to his career when 4th in a ...

Nevada Royale is very well thought of as a chasing prospect by Paul Nicholls but for the time being he is marking time over hurdles. He won easily last time out at Exeter and looks likely to follow up in the 1.40 at Newbury. One of his opponents ...

Jorveybrook came to the racecourse at Haydock in November with quite a home reputation but trailed home well down the field. That performance may have been down to the testing conditions and he could be worth another chance on his hurdles debut in the 4.15 at Newcastle.

Not much joy from yesterday's preview with Souffleur finishing 2nd. There do seem to have been a few hard lucks stories in the spring handicap at Musselburgh though and some of the beaten horses will be worth watching over the coming weeks. Turning to tomorrow the opener at Chepstow ...

The various meetings tomorrow seem under threat from the weather so I won't spend too much time on my write up. Up at Musselburgh I see that Souffleur goes in the 4.30. He has won 3 times over hurdles this season and could just be too good ...
