Nazwa has been frustrating. He's usually placed but you always feel he has a little more to give. He had a wind-op before his last run and they often take an outing to appreciate the benefit. We're adding cheek-pieces and hoping the longer trip will suit. He goes there with an each-way squeak if everything…

Step up to 3m really helped her last season including when winning at Worcester. Had excuses in runs after that, trip and ground should be ideal but track will perhaps be on the sharp side for her. Has plenty of weight but Luca Morgan takes important 3lb off

Thebus Road will be much happier on the better ground. I've been very happy with him at home and I think he goes there with a live chance as long as there's not something hidden.

Ran very well at Newmarket on his first start of the season and has trained well since - good draw here today which is vital around here. Just would not want the ground too soft.

Is probably better on soft turf but there isn’t much about so went for this at a level he ought to be competitive at.

Nice horse that has done nothing wrong in winning both starts so far at Kempton. Switch to the grass is fine and Luke rides again. Nice draw in 4 as has plenty of speed and even though this is another step up in grade can go close.

Bit disappointed with his run at Warwick last time as a beaten favourite. 3lbs lower for that run and Brian Hughes takes over in the saddle. The longer trip here and the blinkers on for the first time will help and doesn't look a great race. Still to win a race is the small negative…

Should not be far away here if building on her last run at the track over this trip. Mollie rides again to claim 3lbs and dropped a pound in the ratings too. Hopeful of a solid e/w run.

Slowly away the last day so can ignore that run - we are trying him up in trip here to 1m4f as we feel it will suit. Down a few pounds from last time helps too and back on the AW will be fine (6 time winner). Small e/w

Socialiser is out of an unraced half-sister to Simonsig, Drumcliff and Dusart.  He has improved with each of his pointing starts and won last time out at Charm Park.  Winners have come out from behind him that day, and he arrived with us soon afterwards.  He goes well enough at home to suggest he can…

Has come on for the run last time at Chepstow and dropped 3lbs helps. Only sixth career run here so still leaning and low weight of 10-3 a big help. No shock to see him run a fair e/w race here.

Still to win a race but gone close many times before, including when third last time at Ffos Las. Cheekpieces on today will help and versatile with the trip so the step up here is okay. On We Go looks the one to beat but can go well again and hoping today is the day…

Ran well the last day at Salisbury - beaten just 3 lengths into 5th. Similar race here but we feel the first time blinkers will suit her focus on the job a bit better. Marco rides and knows the horse (2nd on her 2 runs ago). Would have an e/w chance.

Yet to win a race so that’s the worry here (19 runs). But has run well in defeat many times in the past.  Back over hurdles here today too after a spell over fences so try and mix it up with him a bit, but heads here off the back of a fair run at…

Ran well over and inadequate trip at Lingfield recently and this test should suit him far better today. He will love the ground and the cheekpieces should help too. He can go well

Is a nice filly with a bright future. This looks a lovely starting point and conditions should be perfect. I am just hoping for a promising debut

Is a half-brother to two winners, out of a half-sister to the smart chaser The Nightingale.  Last season never really happened for him but he came back in serious form this season to win on seasonal debut back over hurdles, and was 4th in a Grade 3 at Haydock.  He got stuck in the mud…

Yet to win on the AW from 18 runs so a bit to prove and just the one win on the grass (1-from-33 overall). Dropping to a fair mark though and the horses are running well. Should have another e/w chance but a hard horse to win with.

All victories gained here and dangerous to overlook. Has got better with age and he knows his way round here as well as any so likely to be involved if things go well for him.
