13:30 2m4f Grade 2 Novices' Chase
Peddlers Cross
Things obviously haven't gone quite as we were hoping for him and the injury he picked up at Kempton did set him back for a while. He does look to have turned everything round in the last fortnight though and he worked very nicely yesterday - I have absolutely no complaints about where we are with him now. The trip, the ground and the track are all right up his street and if he turns up on his 'A' game, he's going to be very hard to beat.

Reindeer Dippin/Across The Bay
They both fall into the same category in that they have been running hard and well for much of the winter and they deserve to take their chance. Because they have had plenty of racing, they aren't going there with the 10lb up their sleeve that you need in these races but they are good, honest horses, the owners were keen to run and they certainly aren't out of place in a race like this.
