THE HOTLIST
September has been and gone and Alan Morris rounds off the month and kick-starts October with a total hotlist overhaul and more runners to ensure you're tracking. ICE SHOW (D O'MEARA) Despite being from a good Cheveley Park family, and a fair winning dam, Ice Show was picked up for a 1000gns by current connections. The 3yo was unraced at two and has been progressing nicely and after a keen front-running 3rd at Redcar she went one better at Newcastle to win over 7f. She trave

THE HOTLIST
Another week and another pair of runners that Alan Morris has pinpointed from the past seven days not to ignore moving forward. WOODSTOCK CITY (O MURPHY) Woodstock City had his handicapping runs for hurdles in 2024 and has proved himself a consistent 70-rated 10f horse on the flat subsequently . The 6yo gelding was well supported on debut for Ollie Murphy this week and a jumps rating of 100 looked ready to exploit. He was held up at the speed-favouring track of Market Rasen

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris returns with a look back at recent racing action as he picks out a pair worth pursuing. BLACK DAKOTA (D HITCHINS) Black Dakota should be able to get a handicap rating after his second UK hurdle run for the under-rated Daisy Hitchins yard and exploit this over further and probably fences. He had solid point-to-point form in Ireland with a win, two seconds and two very late falls when in contention. Understandably he jumped big at Newton Abbot and was held up cold

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris picks out a pair of recent runners he feels you need to pay close attention to as they make our ongoing Hotlist. EKLLEEM (W HAGGAS) Eklleem should be in plenty of notebooks after his second at York behind Blue Courvoisier who led throughout. The 3yo gelding was drawn wide and shuffled back from an early prominent position but travelled well enough in a compact field. He ran on well to pull clear with the winner with only a couple of taps to quicken away from the

THE HOTLIST
Alan Morris takes a look back at the past week's action and picks out two recent runners you need to put into your trackers. RIVER EDGE (C MASON) Chris Mason does a good job with home-bred sprinters and limited resources, and may soon find the right opportunity for River Edge. The 5yo gelding had three runs as a 3yo and after a season off has returned with three 5f runs at Chepstow in July, showing plenty of speed from the gate and not quite seeing it out. Keen holds have be

THE HOTLIST
We're back for another weekly roundup of recent winners you have to pay close attention to. Here's who Alan Morris thinks you should put in your trackers. MELISSA HONEY (M HERRINGTON) Melissa Honey has won twice in the last month but from a very low mark and this 4yo filly has scope for further improvement over her winning distance of 6f and potentially over 7f. She won cosily in a small field, travelling from last to first at Leicester this week off 54. In contrast she had
