Still to win a race from 15 runs so hard to get too excited based on that. Does also need to bounce back from an average run here over 6f last time. Down 3lbs helps though and a much better draw in 1 give some hope.

Very pleased with his first run for the yard, when 4th (of 10) here and only beaten just over 3 lengths. That came off around 5 months off and so feel she's improved at home for it. 2lbs lower here too and a good draw in 2. We also think the drop back to 7f…

3 time winner in France, but is yet to win a race since coming to us. Is 10lbs lower though than when joining us now and best runs have been over this 7f trip. Jack claims 3lbs and has had a small break since her last run. Seems well at home - small e/w chance,…

Heer’s Sadie won at the track last year, she is now back on a winning mark but the 7 furlongs does stretch her. Sam has won on her and takes off a handy 7lbs just hopeful of a good run.

7-time winner that is having his debut run for us here today after coming from the Tony Carroll yard. Won off this mark back in May too and wasn’t disgraced last time with a third in a similar race to this. Track a bit of an unknown but looking back at his form did run…

Showed plenty of guts last time to hold on at the line at Lingfield last Saturday night. Up 5lbs for that and back up in trip and on the grass here. Rhys rides again to claim 3lbs and is a past course winner here at Epsom so the track is fine. Just needs to prove…

Found the 7f and undulations at Chepstow happening too quick last time but otherwise has run very well in similar contests this season and can be competitive again here.

Is better than recent runs when down the field at Windsor and Salisbury. Dropped another 3lbs here helps and we are putting the cheekpieces on today to help him settle better. Also hoping the move back to the AW will suit - each-way chance with Tom Queally, who has won on the horse, back riding.

College Oak is out of a winning sister to the three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Best Mate, and the Grade 1 winning hurdler Cornish Rebel, as well as the multiple winner Inca Trail.  College Oak won a bumper and a novice hurdle before winning a competitive handicap at Ascot.  However, he didn't appreciate going chasing…

12 race maiden, but has fair form around this level. Second here the last day to Silver Bubble and taking on that horse again here. We are 3lbs better off this time though at the weight for the 1 1/4 lengths. We also ran second to Toybox at the track the time before and much…

Good winner here last time out - first win on the turf too. Did it well that day by 1 1/2 lengths so the 5lbs ride here should be fine. Dropping back from 1m2f to 1m too will be okay as well and Jack rides again to claim 3lbs. Should have a leading e/w chance…

Six O'Hearts was down the field on debut at Wolverhampton. He is still a work in progress although a bit better is expected here. We will be happy is he makes a step in the right direction.

Night Eagle needed the run at Sandown after 7 months off. Going back to Lingfield where he is a CD winner should help. Rhys claims his valuable 3lbs so much better expected dropping into a Class 6. Each-way chance, although Seal Of Solomon and Sun Festival might be hard to beat.

Recall The Show has been a bit in and out in recent runs - but not far away the last day at Pontefract earlier this week and down a grade from that run too. A good draw in four helps and he comes here with an e/w chance. That said he is taking on two…

Sea Of Charms, whose only run so far this year was her fourth on the AW at Lingfield, has a consistent profile. She is down 1lb from last time and has a 5lb claimer booked. We feel the drop back to 1m2f will help as will running  in a fillies' handicap. She should have every…

The Whipmaster is in great order having won his last three. He stayed on well again last time over 1m2f at Lingfield to complete the three-timer. Up 4lbs here and up in grade again into a Class 2, he carries only 8st 6lbs in this better race and the longer trip will suit. Course fine…

Hey Frankie has done nothing wrong in two bumpers and two runs in novices. Going back up from 2m1f to 2m4f is a big plus for her. The ground will be fine and we are hoping for a big run in an open mares' handicap. She's going there with every chance today.

Optimistic Bias has had no help from the handicapper who refuses to give him any leeway despite his being 13 years of age.  If he takes to Cartmel he has place claims in a race where there are a few dark horses.
