Symphorine was 2nd in a bumper but her form in novice and novice handicaps has been pretty ordinary. Such is the level of this novice seller that she is comfortably best in on official ratings and a first-time visor can swing the issue her way.

The Thunderer makes his debut for us in what looks an ordinary contest. A smart apprentice is booked and I will be disappointed if he didn't finish in the first three.

Black Gerry bounced back to form in impressive style at Ascot the other day. He's a prolific winner, so who's to say he won't defy the penalty?

Issar d'Airy took a big hike in the handicap after a win and then close 2nd but we could not explain his later "bomb out" at Fontwell. He needs to get back on track.

Teddy Blue won a novice hurdle in good style but has not been able to follow up in competitive handicaps since. Slightly down in grade here, he has an each-way shout.

Iskar D'Airy has run a couple of prominent races off low marks in handicaps. This maiden race offers an opportunity but he needs to show some improvement to take advantage of it.

The ground was very testing when Abingworth put up probably his worst performance at Fontwell last time. On this better ground and with in-form Caoilin in the saddle, he could hold out each-way hopes.

Although Daphne May has only won once in her busy winter spell on all-weather, she has gone close on other occasions and we think there might be some improvement when she gets accustomed to running over this trip. Defying top-weight in a big field will not be easy, but she's tough and genuine and should…

Sausolito completed his five-timer with an impressive win here and was far from disgraced when 3rd a week ago. This is a much stronger race but off bottom weight he could still be a danger to all.

Stormingin may be ten years of age but he has been running very well on this track for a win and then 3rd over 10f in recent weeks. He steps up a half-mile this evening and one or two of these may be coming home a little stronger, Will do his best as usual as…

Silver In Disguise looked to be coming back to form when 2nd to a wide-margin winner at Chepstow but took a backward step here last time. That race was over almost four miles though and while he has top weight here, reverting to three miles should be more to his liking. Tough task in a…

Kalpaga ran well when 3rd here two runs back but disappointed afterwards at Taunton. She is down a few pounds from that better performance and could run into a place today.

Royal Lake, despite showing glimmers of ability, has been a largely disappointing horse on a racecourse even though he works nicely at home. He had a wind procedure before his most recent race yet he still ran poorly, so we checked him for ulcers and we found them and treated him. The treatment doesn’t always…

Hector Jaguen has yet to win a race and we thought he might have improved enough on two 3rds in his first two chases to collect last time but he unseated his rider coming into the last mile. In with a chance if the jumping holds up.

American Rose drops back to five furlongs and that should help her. She goes there tonight with an each-way chance.

Fix It All won here last time but was probably a bit fortunate with the favourite giving the race away on the run-in. Similar conditions today and a repeat run would see him go close although he is not the most trustworthy of individuals. Hopefully the win will have given him the confidence to back…

Upton Road didn't stay 3m in very testing Sandown conditions latest. He gets a minor drop in trip today and slightly better ground will all help him. He has been in good form this season and I still think there is more to come from him. This looks competitive but he is fit and well…

Gorak has been unlucky not to have won over the winter. I'm not convinced he is suited to all-weather as his run style suggests he would be happier on turf. The drop to 7f is fine and he has race fitness on his side. If he handles the ground he will go very close.
