Saligo Bay ran well the other day at Fakenham and overall has been very consistent. He ran well on soft going last season and while the ground today will be very testing, we are hopeful he can handle it. Big chance.

L'Enclume unfortunately hasn't quite gone on as we had hoped from her novice win in January. She has trained nicely after a little freshen up and I'm hopeful she will stay the extra distance tonight. If she does, she could easily outrun her odds.

Haddex Des Obeaux made rapid strides last season, winning twice late in 2021 after which he was off until last month. Resuming at Newton Abbot, also first time over fences, he was in contention until tiring in the closing stages. He will be straighter today and we feel he is potentially a chaser with a…

Dorking Lad, one of two we have in this handicap chase, is by far the more experienced. He ran right through last winter for two chase wins as his mark went up around 10lb. Back after a good summer, he could need this first run for seven months but he should not be long getting…

After winning his novice hurdle in the soft at Ffos Las late last year, Dalamoi had a few runs in handicaps and generally acquitted himself pretty well. He's bred to be a chaser and I'm looking forward to this first run over fences, in which he doesn't seem too badly weighted. Hoping for a good…

Colonel Harry is another with a lovely jumps pedigree - by Shirocco out of a sister to Colonel Yaeger,- and he's full-brother to smart Dorabelle. He fell at the last fence when having the race at his mercy on point-to-point debut but made amends with a fast-time win on his next appearance. Runner-up at 2m4f…

Datsalrightgino, by Gerrman-trained Arc third I'ts Gino, is out of a three-time winning Group placed mare. He was second in three bumpers before a fruitful novice hurdling campaign last season, including two wins around Cheltenham. He ran well to be second on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month and will be sharper for…

Endofastorm has improved from both her runs and ran an especially nice race last time at Catterick when beaten less than six lengths in fifth. This looks an ordinary race and I think she is capable of running a good race this evening.

Southwold, a home-bred colt by Gleneagles, has taken a while to come to himself but goes nicely enough at home. He should be competitive in a weak-looking race on his debut as long as he doesn't get stage-fright on his first day at school.

Second the last twice, including once here back in May. Another that Caoilin rides and claims 7lbs on so that helps and is a horse that's gone well off a break in the past. Looks a very open race but stays further than this 2m4f trip and we'll be trying to make good use of…
