Voodoo Ray ran eight times last year, seven of them for two wins at Brighton. He's been off since the autumn and may be fitter for the outing.

The horses have been a little out of form although Asgard's Captain ran well yesterday, so I'm going there today with hope rather than confidence. Makuri will enjoy the distance but the draw isn't great. I think she might need another run before striking form.

Asgard's Captain was going for the four-timer when caught out by the hill at Lingfield. We've given him a short break and he resumes on the turf off a much higher mark than when he left off for previous connections. His ability on soft ground is unproven, so it's fingers crossed.

Ciara Pearl comes here unbeaten in 2024 and also ran well on this track on debut last year. The going is an unknown for her.

Ga Law has had another good season. It began with a creditable, albeit non-staying 7th behind our ill-fated winner Datsalrightgino in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. After a break, he came back to form with an impressive win in a handicap off 150 over 2m4f on trials day at Cheltenham. Soft ground went against…

We run two in this season finale. Authorised Speed was a smart novice hurdler last year and we had high hopes for him as a novice chaser. That hasn't worked out well so far, but if he restarts hurdling in the same vein as he left off last term, there would be much more surprising…

Yellow Star will need a miracle as it's a tough assignment. I'm trying a pair of blinkers to see if that will bring some improvement in him.

Jolyjump ran against some nice hurdlers in his three qualifying runs. He must have been hard to assess and I reckon 92 is as much as the handicapper could have given him. The market though rates him a player. We'll see!

Jessie Lightfoot did okay when with us for the 2022-23 season. She switched to Evan Williams where all three runs this season were decent enough. Now back here, we have to be hopeful that on ground she likes, this could be her day.

Champagne Piaff came back after two and a half years off the track with a highly promising 3rd at Bath recently. Ryan takes the mount and we'll be hoping that between rider and horse, we can get right in the action in this long-established race.

Mesaafi ran well at Kempton recently in a decent race. He was a touch keen that day and got tired and I just wonder whether he is better over 6f. He's certainly bred for it, and we will find out today!

Try The Money ran well in 2nd at Taunton two runs back. He didn't jump with the same fluency last time at Hereford but a repetition of the earlier form would put him right in the argument.

22/04/24 - RESULT 1st 5/6 Original quote: "Hollygrove Cha Cha was impressive on her racecourse debut at Stratford,  winning nicely despite muddy conditions last month. She looks to have stepped forward again at home and can certainly win under her penalty before tackling better grade."

Fondest Dream is a sharp daughter of Showcasuing. She will enjoy the conditions and from a nice draw she should be in amongst them. Could run into the frame.

Git Maker had an excellent first season over fences in 2022-23 winning two of four and looked tailor-made for some major prizes this term. After winning on comeback at Lingfield, he jumped left-handed at Ascot, also finding fast going unsuitable. Then he ran a belter in 2nd at the Cheltenham Festival 18 lengths clear of…

In his UK runs, Foveros has been running in claimers when he often meets horses with higher ratings than the top-weight in this handicap. His mark has reduced considerably and we can claim in this hands and heels race. Could go well.

Lumi Plugin has run with promise in his three bumpers. A place could be possible but he would be doing well to match his stable-companion first time over jumps.

Teraabb should have got into the winner's enclosure after several decent efforts last year. You can put a line through his final start as I should never have run him at Lingfield. This will suit him far better and he will love the ground.

Smokey Maloe always runs his race and is a CD winner. He is in great form but his winning usually happens in a lower grade than today's.  Hopefully, he has each-way chances.

Stormingin continues to defy his years and returns to the same CD where he gave his young rider a first win. This will be only her 3rd ride so if she wins that would represent a healthy enough strike rate. He's only 3lb higher and has the plum draw so why not?
