Fierce is a likeable colt by Dandy Man and he has been gradually finding his feet in his races over 5f. Last time he ran on into third at Lingfield suggesting this step up to 6f will suit. Place chances at least.

Robbie Dazzler ran well when third over just short of today's trip at Bangor but faded third time up the hill late on stepping up to 3m2f at Fontwell. This flat track will be more to his liking and a repetition of the Bangor form would put him in the mix.

As ever we are looking forward with anticipation to Goshen's return to action. He had another excellent season over jumps, winning a Listed at Sandown by miles and then the Kingwell at Wincanton. He had a run in a handicap here after that back in May when he was a creditable third and he can…

Some old faces in this Vets Race, including Cloth Cap, but Some Chaos has a following too and we won this race last year too. Back off a 2lb lower mark this year and a horse that goes well off a break. This has been the target for a while again and the ground is…

Won his bumper well last season then put up a good performance in a hot bumper at Lingfield. Was found to be lame after his last start at Hereford, has schooled well at home and conditions should be ideal for him today the top two in the market will be hard to beat and have…

Iconique has run consistently all year. I think the 14 furlongs at Chelmsford will suit although the draw hasn’t been kind. Harry Davies takes a very useful 3lbs off

Fiscal Policy is still a work in progress but has stepped forward with each race, but drawn wider than ideal.

Shabhaz has been a bit unlucky not to win yet and we think he will appreciate this step up in trip. I also like the fact he is going around a bend too. Jamie Spencer is the perfect jockey and the ground should be beautiful. Plenty in his favour today

Been running with a lot of consistency of late and is versatile in terms of trip. A close third over a mile at Brighton last time, but stays this 1m2f trip well too. Does have a habit of carrying his head high, but that doesn't stop him winning (4 wins). Course winner here too and…

Aira Force has progressed with each start. She was a good second last time in a similar race at Kempton. Another step forward would give her a good chance here. This is a big field and her draw in the middle of the pack could have been better, but it also could have been worse.

Probably one of our better chances on the day. Can ignore the last run as didn't stay the longer trip and an amateur riders' race too. Before that had run well here over this distance and so a repeat of that run, with Hector taking over, will see her go close in what looks a…

Second runner for us in the race and debut run for us after coming from the Ed Dunlop yard. Just the one win from 38 races tells a story, but as a result has dropped to a career-low mark of just 49 - which is 21lbs lower than when winning. Back also from 3 1/2…

Been a frustrating horse as never far away in his races but is still looking for a first career win from 21 runs. A close head second last time at Newton Abbot backed this up again last time, but stayed on well that day over 2m5f so we feel the step back up in trip…

Might be tough to beat the Skelton horse, but we'll be there to pounce if their horse runs below par. Our 3 year-old is going the right way after 2 runs over hurdles since switching from the flat. A fair second last time at Plumpton was another solid effort - just getting a bit tired…

Delighted with his win last time on first run for us. Loved the strong pace that day and came with a lovely late run to win going away in the end. Up just 4lbs for that and the extra 1/2 a furlong here will be fine. Bit of give in the ground a plus too…

Second the last twice - narrowly beaten both times at Brighton. Remains in good order at home though and switch to Windsor is fine - only previous run here came over a mile, but seems more at home over a bit shorter these days. Cheekpieces are on today for the first time and a good…

Mofasa is a big chasing type who showed plenty of promise on his first start when fourth at Ffos Las. We gave him plenty of time after that and he has schooled well and matured physically over the summer. The Snowden horse has some good pointing form and looks the one to beat.

Tapley was bought in Ireland after the latest of his point-to-points when he finished a good second and might have won bar a last-fence mistake. A five-year-old by Geordieland, he is sure to stay and has the experience to take a hand against less seasoned rivals. Hopeful each-way.

Dream Composer has been pretty consistent in handicaps of this nature and ran very well when runner-up at Goodwood last time. We are taking 3lb off in a trappy handicap and on similar ground to Goodwood he can hold each-way claims.

Vorashann has a good record on the course and won on his latest start in June when ridden by the same 7lb claimer. Up only 3lb but in a better race, he must have each-way chances.
