Anytime Will Do has been waiting for better ground for some weeks before the rain finally relented and he could run, in a bumper at Taunton.

It had been building for some time and heading to a rainy Essex our thoughts were turning to dreams.

Up 6lbs for his Wolverhampton win, Surrey Blaze had no difficulty following up with a convincing victory at Chelmsford.

Surrey Hope had a great return after a 5 month lay off in a Class 2 1 mile contest at Lingfield.

What a way to start 2018! A really tenacious performance from Surrey Blaze as he jostled and bumped his way through the stragglers to run on and win comfortably under another great ride from Oisin Murphy.
