Mark Of Gold won nicely on his seasonal comeback at Plumpton and while he didn't get in the money in the Greatwood at Cheltenham, he beat as many as beat him. Now back in his comfort zone and only 2lb higher than at Plumpton. Big weight but big chance.

Counteract is a burly type of horse who would have needed his last two runs, with the latest over an inadequate trip. Acts on good ground and three miles should suit him. He is back down on a reasonable mark but the race looks very competitive. I am expecting a much better run today though.

Hansard was bought out of Charles O'Brien's yard after he won a bumper at Ballinrobe in the spring. Mrs Grimley, the filly that chased him over the line that day, hasn't let the form down with two good placed efforts over hurdles for Ben Pauling recently. He jumps well and we're hoping for a prominent…

Starting in late January off 71, Fine Wine won four races between all-weather and turf by the first week in June when we decided to give him a break. He resumed off 95 last month at Southwell and won impressively, so while he is 4lb higher again, it's hard to rule him out today. Value…

Via Serendipity was incredibly unlucky last time out when travelling much the best before getting stopped badly in his run. With a clear run that day he would have been in the first three and his price would have been a fraction of what it is. Ten furlongs around Lingfield suits and he can run…

A winner over C/D in early July, Coast came back after a summer break two weeks ago, running better second time three days after the return. She gts an experienced rider for this amateurs' handicap and could make an impact coming home.

Tequilamockingbird has had a good year winning twice. I think she is best over 10 furlongs off a decent pace and her best performance this year was over course and distance.Last time out they went far too steady for her and she couldn't get into the race from out the back. She is more than…

La Rav ran away with his rider last time, rushing up after missing the break and not getting home. He needs holding up and hopefully the kid who is on for the first time now, can do that and bring him for a late challenge. He's well handicapped if we can get it right.

Colombidea bumped into a useful horse last time out, but there was plenty to like about her performance as she settled much better and clearly the penny is dropping. This looks like a match race on paper between us and the third horse home last time. One For The Frog was odds-on then, but he…

Ahlawi had a break in the summer and came back with a good second at Southwell in October. He was less impressive there last time but he has a good draw and forms a double challenge with Dark Shot. 

Harbour Vision has been running consistently well until a slightly below par effort last time at Southwell. He is marginally better around here and if he can get away alertly from his wide draw, he could make them all go and may try to hold on in the straight.

Bobmahley stayed on well to win on his seasonal debut at Fakenham last month. The softer conditions and stiffer track today are more suitable but this is a super-competitive race. We are hoping for a solid run and I rate him a good each-way chance. 

Walk In The Wild won around here two weeks ago when a massive price on stable/chase debut. He won't be a big price today but hopefully he can follow up as we believe he's in the same fettle.

Givega won his Irish point 18 months ago. He has been pleasing us and has been dominating overnight betting with Hot Rod Lincoln. We are hopeful he can make a winning start under Jamie.

Generous Day is getting to the veteran stage but he did show at times last season there is still life in the old boy. He needed his comeback run over hurdles the other day and I'm hoping we'll see a little more from him back over fences today.

Dorking Lad was the outsider of two runners for the stable around here recently on his return to action, but stayed on very strongly into third from the last fence. With that run behind him off what looks a fair mark, he must be very competitive here.

Boys Of Wexfod has been schooling well but hasn't shown enough yet to be of interest today.

Black Gerry took his good form of last winter into a run after a break at the end of May with a comfortable win in a five-runner race at Fontwell. He returns 5lb higher in a better race, but with the horses going well, it wouldn't be a massive shock if he went close.

Passing Well is by Coastal Path, sire of many Grade 1 winners out of a winning sister to the multiple black type winning Papy Mamy. The dam is by Passing Sale, sire of Grand National winner Mon Mome. Passing Well was 2nd last time out at the Punchestown Festival in a seriously-competitive 21-runner bumper. There…

After his good season in 2021-2, Goshen's comeback run on debut over fences was disappointing to say the least. This race gives him the chance to do what he does best, but maybe facing Constitution Hill is not the ideal situation for a horse with something to prove. Second would be nice!
