Henderson often gives his top bumpers their first hurdle experience at Kempton and he runs East India Express there today. Bolted up on his only bumper run here last February (which surprised Henderson because they fancied their other runner with Nico up) then succumbed to the cough, took a long time to get over it and didn’t run again. Probably not worth a bet since likely odds-on, but it’ll be an informative outing. Oliver Sherwood took Queen’s Gamble with him when he joined Harry ...

Gesskille 245a no price but jumps these fences well. 11/4 Local Dynasty 345nc 10/3 went into notebook last time.

Good luck.
Couple of interesting races at Exeter with some top level performers out. In the Future Stars Silver Bowl I reckon all of them are going to pay their way and with the rightly odds-on Stay Away Fay the main interest is to see how they have taken to fences. The following Haldon Cup I can’t really do better than trying with a pin. Probably take a chance with Brave Seasca since VW’s horses are beginning to sing a happy song. So long as it doesn’t ...
Couple of interesting ones out today. Brentford Hope - didn’t live up all the hype on the flat, but pretty decent over the jumps.

Willmount - Very highly regarded bumper winner who moved stables during the summer (Neil Mulholland to Nicky ...

Dream of Diamonds 4.15 Warwick Is my fancy I'd fancy it a lot more if trainer Bowen didn't have 0-19 over the course in the last 5 years. The gelding jumped excellently lto, on his fencing debut. Very lightly-raced, too, with only 5 rules races in his life. Whatever happens here, there's lots of promise, I think.
