Le Patron has won both his races over fences, He is a long way behind some of these on his official rating, but he has plenty of potential and I'll be surprised if he didn't outrun his odds.

Nassalam ran on strongly for 4th over the Grand National fences on his comeback in the Grand Sefton last month. He goes well in testing ground and must have a big chance even with his big weight.

We run two in the Coral Gold Cup. Datsalrightgino developed into a high-class novice chaser last season winning at Cheltenham and later a Grade 2 at Ayr on his final start. He has strengthened up and is a proper chaser now. He will have needed his comeback run in the Old Roan where the lack…

Hansard ran into a decent type in Rubaud in the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton, but finished a good deal nearer to him than at Kempton last season. This was an encouraging first start and should put him right for what is a demanding initial foray into handicaps. He should run another good race.    …

An excellent 2nd in a very hot bumper at the Punchestown Festival early last year, Passing Well developed into a smart novice hurdler for us last season with two wins and 4th in a very hot Challow Hurdle. He starts novice chasing on a lovely mark and made a great start when runner-up in a…

Point winner Superstylin gets very revved up. He did win a race over hurdles and this will be the first time over fences for him. He jumps well so should improve for them, but it's all about how he settles. Sea Bowen has that job.

Abingworth showed he was going the right way over fences with a good runner-up spot on just 2nd start behind smart recruit Regarde. Top-weight won't be easy but he has the potential to handle this grade.

Audacious Annie is the daughter of top-class stayer Jack Hobbs from a black type mare who has produced five winners from six runners including our Cheltenham Festival heroine You Wear It Well. She was in pre-training last season and arrived here in the summer. To date, she has done everything right and we're very happy…

Rothay Park is a work in progress. He was green on debut and then ran a bit free and enthusiastic next time. He doesn't have the best draw here.

Venerate has shown ability but we're starting her off against the colts and she might not be quite ready for that. I'll be happy if she finishes towards the front of middle tonight and from there we can look for an easier assignment next time.

Git Maker had a great first season over hurdles winning three of his four starts.  Switched to fences, he won two of four and he looks tailor-made for some of the top staying chases this winter. This Intermediate race is the ideal stepping stone out of novice company and should have a decent chase of…

Bravo Zulu really pleased us with his debut at Wolverhampton and should step forward as he showed a lot of greenness that day but powered home late. This is a decent prize and we've waited a while for it.

Kotmask was in good form early in the year and returned with a promising first run over fences when 3rd at Kempton last month. We have to be hopeful he can get back in the winner's enclosure here.

Brechin Castle came out of his debut at Sedgefield in super form. His preparation for Cheltenham has gone smoothly - he seems to have been sharpened up and stepped forward from his debut. He's as fresh as paint and we've always held him in very high regard.

Recuerdame is a multiple all-weather winner and probably at his best around here when they go hard. No reason why things won't fall right for him this morning as he is always a danger if the pace collapses. He seems in great shape still.

Stintino Sunset has been very consistent this summer on mainly soft ground. She has yet to show the same form on AW but has improved since being stepped up in trip. If she acts on the Chelmsford surface, she will hold an each-way chance.

We've had Louis Barthas for a couple of months and he shows ability. As ever on debut he needs to do everything right, especially at Kempton, but with a decent start he might be pushing for a place up the home straight.

Regarde is from a top French jumps family and won an Irish point as a five-year-old. He was promising in a limited novice hurdle campaign but is built for fences and it was no surprise to us when he won well on his chase debut in a novice handicap at this track last month. Up…

The 11-year-old Goose Man has won five of his 16 career starts from 2m to 3m2f over hurdles and fences. He returns after 962 days off the track following two injured tendons. It's taken a bit of nursing to get him back and he certainly retains a good level of ability. He has the form…

Abingworth was for the most part consistent and progressive with one win over hurdles last season. He made his chase debut at Fontwell the other day when he showed a tendency to jump left-handed. That wouldn't be helpful around Huntingdon, but we've schooled him since and are hoping for a better result.
