Doc McCoy is by Getaway and is bred on the same cross (out of an Oscar mare) as top-class Sporting John. He was an impressive 20-length winner of his debut Irish point-to-point in much the fastest time of four maidens on the day. Third on his hurdle debut on first start for the yard in…

Generous Day was running well until finding better class opposition too strong at Kempton last month. Although now firmly in the veteran stage, he must have a fair chance of going very close in this four-runner line-up.

In The Air followed a win in France with a debut success in the UK at Newbury just over a year ago. He's not shown us much since but after a midwinter break, hopefully he can begin a revival from today in what looks a workable contest.

Spitfire Girl, a daughter of Walk In The Park, was 2nd in three bumpers but took a few runs to get the hang of hurdling. As a result she started handicapping on a nice mark and was just touched off, beaten a short head on debut with a long gap to the third horse. She…

Two runners also in this and former Irish pointer Kap Chidley has shown in his schooling that he is mad for fences. He ought to handle the ground nicely and holds a great each-way chance in what looks a competitive field.

Shutthegate has his first outing for us having joined from John Spearing. Jamie Moore usually rode him before and travels over for the mount. Chances on his best form especially if the first-time blinkers work.

Skinflint did it very nicely last time at Chepstow, there all the way and running home strongly for an overdue first win under Rules. He's 10lb higher but he remains in form and has a bright chance of a follow-up success.

Animal ran well at Stratford five days ago and is likely to go up in the handicap for that run. Similar conditions here today as it's almost 3m at Stratford when the rails are pushed out. He appears to have come out of his race very well but it just depends on whether this comes…

Kansas Du Berlais did better on 2nd run after joining from France when a close runner-up at Lingfield. We expected him to build on that and win next time around here, but backed to odds-on, he was a disappointing 4th. This is a retrieval mission and we are hopeful he can made amends.

We are very much finding our way with Power Of Darkness as he is a recent addition to our yard. It looks like this step up to a mile should suit well and I think the track also plays to his strengths. Hoping to see a better run this evening.

The well-related You Wear It Well was 2nd on racecourse debut last season and then won a bumper next time. She won well on her first two starts over hurdles this season and then took a major step forward when 2nd in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury, form which put her right up…

After going through a disappointing spell, Tom Tulliver has suddenly struck form and after a nice win around here he was only narrowly beaten last time. He meets the winner on 5lb better for half a length and that should enable him to turn the tables.

Rebel Redemption had a single okay run at the start of the year but before and since he's looked to be going through the motions. Needs to find something from somewhere.

Medrara has his issues but is consistent and can pick up a little race somewhere. Ten furlongs around Chelmsford should suit and this looks a poor race. Chances.

Spirit D'Aunou picked up a couple of pretty uncompetitive NH juvenile hurdles which have appeared this season. It is hard to know whether his mark is lenient or otherwise, but he's clearly promising and hopefully will be able to cope with opponents that have experience on the flat behind them.  

Zhiguli joins Iconic Muddle here and while on last season's form he would have a big chance, he hasn't matched it yet this time round. The consolation is a steady drop in his mark, so he's by no means a make-weight today.

Hudson De Grugy has not yet matched his smart hurdles form since going over fences, but the positive is that his mark is now 10lb lower than the hurdles rating. This looks a suitable race for him to start going forward in his new role.

Invincible De Mee stayed on well over 2m at Ffos Las and the step up in trip ought to help massively. A solid each-way chance today.

Pop Favorite won over this CD for his previous connections, but has gradiually slipped down the handicap since joining us. There was some promise in his latest 5th place not beaten far back here last week and I wouldn't be shocked if he bounced back tonight.
