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…

Times Are Blue is a bonny little horse who is more a stayer than a speed merchant and I think he will like this ground. He looks okay at home without showing anything special and it's probably a case of look and learn with him today.

Fit from the flat after running at Goodwood the last day at the end of April. Back over hurdles here and still looking for his first win from 6 runs over the sticks. Trip and ground will be fine and small e/w chance in a race that lacks depth - but the Pipe in-form horse…

Running okay at the moment but has only one win to her name and that came over hurdles. Is 0-from-15 over fences so a bit to answer on that front too but is down another 2lbs from that last run which helps. Place chance, but the Williams horse the one to beat really.

Nice winner at Stratford back in October and has had a nice break since. Up 5lbs on that win here but has been freshened up well and been waiting for the better ground. Should not be far away. Each-way.

Consistent runner this year and been a busy boy with 11 runs. Has won 3 times this year too and improved 14lbs in the ratings since Jan. Jon's 5lb claim helps and back into a Class 3 will also help after running in slightly better races. Another bold show on the cards in a competitive…

Won well at Ffos Las the last day - first win over hurdles for the horse. Travelled well that day and did it nicely. Drop back in trip will be fine here and Charlie helps to take off 3lbs this time too. Bit to find with the Skelton runner, but we feel we’ll give that…

Looks to be finding his form ast a much lower level these days but unproven on turf. Seems to be in good shape.

Dual all weather Winter this season but highly excitable and races freely. Makes his turf debut and hard to predict though has plenty of ability.

Won well at Southwell two runs ago and a fair third at the same track last time. Down 3lbs on the turf here and will love the trip, but likely to need to find a bit more with the favourite going to be hard to beat. Small e/w

Won comfortably on debut for the yard, a repeat should see him go very well here. Does meet another impressive last time out winner in Swiss Ace.

Ran really well at Musselburgh when fluffing the start and giving himself absolutely no chance. This track is Taylor made for him. He too can go well.
