Good run last time and seems in good form. Rain will help. If there is a decent pace then he should be thereabouts with a clear run.

Decent sprinter on his day and dropping a bit more down the ratings again after winning three times last year. Jon takes off 5lbs and a course winner here but might just need to drop a bit more in the ratings.

Had a good Winter and ran well on turf debut recently in a stronger race. Hinted that 5f might suit him and should be a major player if it does.

Former winning pointer but is yet to win a race under rules. 3lbs lower than a recent run down the field at Ludlow the last day so more needed on that but only 10-6 in weight helps. Ground is fine and small e/w chance but does need to find something. 

Howdilyoudo is out of a half-sister to the useful winner Whodoyouthink and to Whatuthink (who was third in the Irish National); from the family of Glens Music.  This Presenting filly was placed in bumpers and novice hurdles, but came good after a winter break with victory last summer at Worcester and at Uttoxeter, and she…

After three good runs including a win in a bumper, Trevada was disappointing with his jumping on his first hurdle race last month. He’s a big horse who had schooled nicely, but he just looked as if the hurdles got in his way and he never got into any rhythm at Hereford. I’m sure this…

Has hit the crossbar three times now but run well every time. She travelled brilliantly at Wetherby before seemingly not getting home behind a winner that has franked the form in a big way. This drop in trip will suit and she has a lovely opening handicap mark

Bit to prove at the moment after winning well on debut for us back in Feb. Back to last winning mark helps and Jon takes off 5lbs. The drop back to 7f will suit too but will need to leave recent runs behind so best watched for now.

Is a lovely 2yr old with a bright future. This race will be very strong but he should love conditions and run well.

Ran a really good race at Chester against significantly superior opposition. She drops back into her grade today and has conditions to suit. She is technically 3lbs well in but the handicapper could easily have put her up more. I am surprised her price isn’t shorter.

Fluffed his lines last time at Southwell but the race has worked out well and I think he is much better on turf with some cut. He should love conditions today and can run well.

Second runner in the race for us. Taking his racing well - ran another good one at Hamilton last Sunday (2nd) and off the same mark here. Good draw in 2 and in this better race has only 8-4 to carry. Competitive with the Appleby runner respected and Copper Knight as won the last 2…

Not sparked since coming over from France - four runs for us to date and better run was over a mile at Chelmsford so this drop to 7f here on the grass will suit. Dropped 5lbs too and Anna claims 5lbs from the saddle too. Whips are not allowed to be used this in race…

Shady Daisy is by Flemensfirth and is a full sister to the good stayer, Fontsanta, and to Dusky Days who we also train.  She is out of a half-sister to useful bumper/2m-2m1f hurdle winner Dusky Lord who herself was out of a sister to high-class jumper Deep Sensation. Dusky Days won on his racecourse debut…

Champanshype is a prolific winner, having won 8 of his 22 starts under rules.  Having won six handicap hurdles, he won on chasing debut in impressive fashion last summer.  However, he rather scared himself over fences, and although placed on his next two starts, he didn't look a natural chaser.  Back over hurdles he was…

Took a good step forward in cheekpieces and switched to the turf last time when finishing third and should be competitive here if repeating that effort.

CD winner here and better for a return run last month after a break. Down a pound for that and Aidan booked to take off another 7lbs helps. Heather Main horse might be hard to beat but we'd have e/w claims with a better run than last time expected.

Looks one of our better chances on the day - only beaten just under 3 lengths last time at Windsor and that came off a 198-day break. Will be better today for that run and the switch back to the AW is fine. Hopeful of a decent run with the Tregoning horse the danger.

Good draw in 1 and down another pound here after last run. Got a bit hampered the last day at Windsor at the start and was slowly away so had excuses - we feel the drop back to 5f will help and Jon takes off 5lbs. CD winner too here so that helps and so…
