Tom Tulliver had been running poorly around here since returning just before Christmas after a break, but suddenly ran way above his 80/1 odds when 4th last time. Let's hope he can maintain the improvement to get into the frame tonight.

Miss Elsa didn't stay the 1m4f last time and will be happier dropping back to 1m2f today. We're taking 7lb off with a promising kid and hopefully Miss Elsa will put in a decent show.

Pable Del Pueblo has been enjoying a fair winter and might be able to turn the tables with last week's winner Lilkian now back to the minimum trip. He's becoming slightly more conventional, so he just needs things to go smoothly and it if they do, no surprise to see him involved.

Providing the ground is on the easy side of good, Superstylin should go well again. The brush hurdles are a positive and he probably just bumped into a very well handicapped horse last time. Hopeful.

Division 2 of this 6f handicap and an almost exact comment for Catesby as Coast, except he's a gelding. You tell me?

Roger Pol was a close 2nd in his sole point-to-point and then was an impressive winner on debut in a warm Worcester bumper. Next, he didn't handle the undulations of Cheltenham but in calmer waters and on a more suitable track was 3rd under his penalty at Ffos Las. All the form horses have penalties…

Gentle Frank is in good form and ran very well last time over this course and distance. He should be thereabouts today and we think he has a solid chance.

It's been fortunate for us that Sausalito has been around when a series of 0-50 Classified races were scheduled at the southern tracks. Now rated 58. he won't get in another hopefully for a while, but he will still be long odds-on even with penalties for those three rapid-fire wins.

There were excuses for The Big Bite on both his latest outings. Third in this race last year, he now runs off 9lb lower and with the ground very much to his liking, he has to have a nice shout at finishing in the money again.

Espoir De Teillee is a very capable horse who can complicate matters for himself. Running right-handed will suit his jumping and hopefully it should be straightforward for him to get a "1" beside his name.

Big Bresil will be having his first run back after a major absence and I am still learning about him. I'm not sure what to expect from him today but hopefully he will run well and improve for the next one.

Blue Hop is an exciting novice who will improve for a fence. We are going to Ayr looking for soft ground and expecting him to run a big race. He will learn from it and improve from it as well.

Tapley ran well at Fontwell last time even though the ground was gluey. He's at his best on a decent surface so should be much happier today. He has run well on this track before and I expect him to do so again although there are two or three others in here with form claims.…

At 12, Not Another Muddle is two years senior to his half-brother Iconic Muddle and has been in action more recently, 6th at Exeter at the start of this month. He had a spell away pointing last year and, a non-winner for four years, it's hard to be too enthusiastic about his chance.

A few weeks ago racegoers needed to check their racecards when we ran Iskar d'Airy and Issar D'Airy in the same race. Now we have two Muddles, reminding us all of Lingfield's owner Ron and both owned by his widow Christine. Iconic Muddle describes Ron well and the horse won a chase the season before…

Mark Of Gold ran in the much more valuable and competitive Lanzarote over this CD last month but didn't get further than the 2nd flight. He has a great strike rate - five from 11 - and if back in his pre-Lanzarote form, would have each-way claims.

Harbour Vision has had a productive winter but the handicapper may have his measure. This is a higher grade than where he was winning.

Bells Of Stamford had been running well over hurdles in the autumn and made a promising start when 3rd over fences at Market Rasen but then disapppointed at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. We've given him a wind-op since and hopefully he can resume where he left off at Market Rasen.
