RACE 1

JET REVEZ ran her best race in twelve last time. May surprise in the first of the afternoon. DANCING INTHE SNOW improved by over twelve lengths in her second start last time.

RACE 2

YELLOW WOOD TREE has improved in his last two. First run for new yard. First run in a year. Chance if not needing the run. OVIDIO makes his debut. Could be anything. MAJOR VAUGHAN has lost ground in three of his four starts. Has run on in two of them. BLOW ME AWAY made a fair debut last time when starting at 66/1. Will be much shorter today.

RACE 3

UNCLE JIM made a winning debut last time. May follow up against some two time winners. SURREY cast a shoe last time against stronger. Give another chance. SHINNING DAY won his maiden by almost four lengths last time. That was his second run. One to keep an eye on. Is ante post favourite! KIRUMBO is inconsistent but should earn.

RACE 4

BAD WINTER stayed on well when showing improvement last time. CLASSY FIGHTER also stayed on last time. Has some good recent form. SILVER BLUFF won his last two. Has shown good from.

SHIMMERING LEAVES failed to kick on over further last time. SISTER LYNN has not won since New Year's Day. May have to wait until New Year's Day 2015.

RACE 6

FREEZING POINT  weakened last time. Usually finishes well. DIPLOMATIC has some decent form. May be better suited to shorter. BELCOURT CASTLE is in very good form but tends to weaken late.
