Arctician has been out of form in better races in recent starts and as a result is better handicapped now. He seems in good shape so a revival is possible tonight, but he always needs things to go smoothly for him.

Vinny's Dream is better than the result of his Catterick race which was decently run on a track and on ground that didn't suit. He may lack a bit of quality for this and may also be better at 1m4f.

One For Harvey ran well first time out at Kempton but didn't handle the Brighton track last time. She has experience of Chelmsford where she breezed earlier in the year and while she has a bad draw, her local knowledge may overcome that. Should be thereabouts.

Just Ten High has gone up 3lb for his win last time at Chelmsford. I think he has another 3lb or 4lb to come after that, so he could just have enough to win again.

Fen Tiger was unlucky not to win over the CD last run. The ground will be more to his liking here and this is the right grade. Hopefully, he can get back to winning ways.

Nachtgeist earned a 92 flat rating with his previous stable and if that is correct he would have a great chance here off 100 over hurdles. He was highly tried in his two summer runs for us,at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood and this should be a fair bit easier.

On a topical note, Lurens Bay is by Youmzain who finished 2nd in three successive Arc de Triomphes. He was 2nd in a point-to-point at Ballinboola before arriving with us. Given time to mature and strengthen, he won on bumper debut in the spring and will be a smashing hurdler to look forward to over…

Diamond Dealer has his kinks but also plenty of ability. He struggled for one reason or another last season but he's starting fresh this time and seems in good form and ready for his first run. If he can put his best foot forward he will be bang there.

Dark Mystery ran one of his better races at Newbury the last day and has run okay a couple of times at Southwell over the two miles. It's a competitive little race but he should give his running and can go close if he does.

Reach For The Moon was a talented flat horse in his younger days winning the Solario Stakes (Group 3) at two and the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot, also Group 3, at three. After a luckless start over jumps, he won impressively last time out. He has a penalty to carry here but if…

Warning Sign has been giving owner-rider David Dunsdon some great sport this summer. He could hardly be more versatile, 2nd three times going 1m, then 1m2f and lastly, 1m4f when 2nd in the Amateurs' Derby over the full Classic course. The one-mile run suggests he'll have enough speed for this 7f on testing ground and…

After a disappointing season last time around for Obsessedwithyou, we've changed things around for her this time. She wasn't beaten far at Newton Abbot and hopefully, she can get back to winning ways here.

Queen's Company is in good form. She is probably better on turf, but we have to run on AW as she doesn't handle soft ground. She has run well here in the past so possibly an each-way chance tonight.

Bob Mali has won his two races and he will like the ground. His Chester form last time is working out well. The Hannon filly made a winning start at Newbury and will obviously be a threat but I'm hopeful.

Profitman kept galloping on after a tardy start last time over an inadequate 6f at Kempton. He's now back up to his previous winning distance and as he came out of Kempton well, we're anticipating another decent showing now.

Smokey Malone has had a summer break. He was a CD winner here off 3lb higher in January when also returning off an absence. This looks a weak contest, so while he may just need the run, hopefully he is fit enough to do himself justice.

Havana Smoke has been knocking on the door and one of his best efforts was over this CD three runs back. Good each-way chance in a wide-open handicap.

Shes Perfect won nicely on debut at Haydock and this valuable prize was the obvious next step. I have absolutely no idea if she will handle the ground but there are hints in her pedigree that she might do. Ryan Moore takes over from Kieran Shoemark who is unwell.

Novus has been waiting all year for her favoured ground since a good run on this course first time out in early May. and it would be typical if the heavens opened and caused Goodwood's abandonment. Otherwise, with a first-time tongue-tie, she's the one to fear.

If Magic Memories would struggle to get in Saturday's Cambridgeshire, Alpha Crucis would need twice as many to be withdrawn. He likes soft ground and this easier company should be at his mercy. Big chance.
