We are into the hunter chase season now and while it is not exactly my strong suit it does see the return of some old jumping stars from a few years back. The Ffos Las 4.55 is a case in point. The likely favourite is Fundamentalist, a Cheltenham ...

I won’t spend too much time on tomorrow’s racing as both jumps meetings are subject to inspections. The Folkestone 3.20 doesn’t look the greatest of races and I would hope that Pliny would give us a run for our money.

Three winners from 6 selections today following on from a successful afternoon on Saturday. Tomorrow Harry the Hawk should go well in the Catterick 2.50. Three times a winner on the flat the trip should suit him and he looks reasonably handicapped . Shoreacres ran well in third ...
