Second runner in the race and has a squeak too. Mixes it up over hurdles and on the flat. Been in good form over hurdles this season with two wins but back on the flat today on a fair mark and has won here at Goodwood before too. 2lbs lower than that 2021 win here…

Only had 5 career runs and despite not winning yet has been showing up okay. 3lbs lower here will help and dropping back to 6f again too. Jon takes off 5lbs but not seen the track for just under a year so expected to improve for this today.

Second runner in the race for us - debut run for Steve Packham, who owns Goshen too. Nice well-bred 4 year-old that is doing well in his work. Niall helps to take off 3lbs too and small e/w chance, but the experience of our other runner just edges it.

Smokey Malone ran well at the track last run and was unlucky when he was stopped in his run late on in the race. He dropped a pound so gets into this grade, trip will suit so hoping for a big run again.

Will be better for her recent run here after 183 days off. 3lbs lower here and has gone close over this trip in the past here. But the worry is that she's still winless from 17 runs - deserves to win a race as not been far away many times, but doesn't always work like…

Has been a hard horse to win with of late - his last victory came back in Feb 21 and that was 19 runs ago. As a result has slipped back to a handy mark though and is 4lbs lower than last time too. Saffie also booked to take a further 3lbs off and dropping…

Got back to form the last day at Lingfield with a good win for Bradley. Up 4lbs for that and the switch to the grass will be fine here. Bradley rides again to claim 7lbs and we know he stays a little bit more than this 1m3 1/2f. Should have a leading chance again.

A dual course and distance winner, including the Brighton Challenge Mile when she had a few of these in behind. Will come forward for first run of the year.

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.
