14/09/24 - RESULT 1st 11/1 Original quote: "Mrs Meader is now very well handicapped and has conditions to suit her. She is working well and has a good draw. Ross knows her very well so we think she has a good each-way chance at a nice price."

We expected Bob Mali to make a winning debut at Ayr and while he did, he made quite hard work of it. He has a good draw and likes the ground and now, knowing more about it, I think he'll win again.

Flight has to turn the form around with the favourite but I'm very hopeful she can. She won very easily last time at Sandown. That was only 12 days ago but she didn't have a hard race and will love the mile here. The overnight rain is another plus and she has Oisin again. Overpriced…

Small Fry was a narrow winner and then comfortably beaten 2nd to the same William Knight horse on his last two runs. They were both on AW but the switch back to turf won't be a problem and he's the in-form horse and the one to beat in this.

Two in this jump jockeys' Derby. Miller Spirit had a couple of wins around Goodwood in June and has held on to his form since. Solid chance if he can handle the big weight.

If you'd have told me earlier in the year that Pure Of Heart would be running off 72 (and in a  0-70) I would have thought you were mad. I believed she was more of a high 80s, low 90s filly, but she has had plenty of problems. I thought she would win her last…

Jackson Street got very close last time at Chelmsford despite a slow start and not getting a clear run in the straight. He's in good order and I think Newcastle will suit him. In Silvestre, he has a top jockey on his back.

Starlit Spice is by Sea The Stars. She goes okay while not appearing to be a superstar. Might run into the frame on this debut but the favourite looks tough to beat

Fen Tiger loves soft ground which he didn't get last run, but he still ran well. He has come out of the race in good form so hopefully he can run a solid race as he is now very well handicapped.

Platinum Prince ran well when 2nd in an amateurs' race at Goodwood following three months off the track. If he follows through, then he must have a decent chance off bottom weight here.

Pillar Of Steel was a good winner at Market Rasen in July. While she struggled a bit last time, this CD winner could challenge for the first three.

Luther is a smart 2yo that we think has a bright future. He ran a cracker at Salisbury last time out when lack of experience got him beaten. He's tough and straightforward and I will be disappointed if he doesn't go very close today.

This is D-day for Prague - his best chance yet of giving us our first Group-race win - in the UK at any rate. He is working well and conditions will be fine. I think he'll like the drop to a mile as he has lots of speed. We have an exciting week in prospect…

Too Soon made a promising start when 5th at Goodwood, making late headway. By Too Darn Hot, he's an expensive horse for the yard and hopefully, can live up to it with a run in the money.

Bucko's Boy has won a bumper, a maiden hurdle, and four handicap hurdles. He had a productive summer in 2023 when stepped up to 2m4f and again on seasonal debut this summer, won on his first attempt at 3m. He hasn't enjoyed much luck in running when 4th on his last two starts but wasn't…

Red Cloud has been consistent, albeit at a lowly level. He came back well last time on this course after a break and ought to go close once more.

Stintino Sunset has been consistent all year and is on a winning mark again. Going up in distance should be okay on this fast ground so hopefully, she has an each-way chance once more.

Mart has had a great year but his two runs back after an early summer break, both at Newmarket were compromised by slow starts - the last time when he reared as the stalls opened. He likes Lingfield, so Brighton should be fine. Place chances on his best form.

Both career wins for Hul Ah Bah Loo have been here and he always runs well at Lingfield but has been below his best in recent starts. He seems in good shape and can never be left out at this level. The outside draw is not a particular handicap as he will be staying on…

Rabainal is a course and distance winner but he has not been at the same level since the winter. He is well handicapped now, though, and needs them to go hard which they might in a race like this. He is training well and should race more evenly with the hood back on.
