Flight is a nice filly and she has very good form. I'll be disappointed if she doesn't win.

Tactical Control ran better the last day. he seems in good form at home and hopefully, should be bang there at the finish.

Glam Squad was unsuited by the way the race panned out at Newcastle last time and was unable to get any cover whatsoever. Before that, he had looked very progressive. This track will suit him and going left-handed is a big plus. He will run much better tonight.

Rockymountainway has been incredibly tough and consistent. She ran well last time out at Yarmouth and I think there is still more to come. The stiff 7f is ideal.

Sir Palamedes ran a cracker at York before finding 5f and quick ground too sharp in the Super Sprint. Stepping back up to 6f and soft ground will suit far better. He should go well.

Unfashionably-bred Pisgah Pike has been a star for us, notably winning the 2022 Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen. He needed a colic operation last summer which meant he couldn't defend his crown, but he was there this time but found the race a bit too hot. Now, down in class and with some help from…

Hello Miss Lady has struggled in her first two runs. She has ability but after four months off she might not be at her sharpest.

French juvenile hurdle winner Kitesurfer took a while to acclimatise to UK racing but the combination of better ground and the step up to 3m worked well for him and he won nicely back in the spring. He was still holding every chance when a faller last time, so hopefully, he can resume the progress…

Platinum Prince has won his share of races over the years and we were encouraged by his close 2nd at Chelmsford in April. He disappointed the next time, though, so he's had a long break and hopefully will be ready to run his race in this amateurs' contest.

Battleofbaltimore likes to be up there from the outset and as long as he breaks alertly, he can make good use of the inside draw. Not the most consistent, but I'm delighted he gave his enthiastic owners a win at Yarmouth and he should be in with the action at the business end.

A winner off 73 last year, Fierce is down to 66 and in lower grade than before. We're looking for a revival, but also run Voodoo Ray who has been going in the other direction. Bit of a puzzle.

The guy who helps me with my race planning thinks I'm mad but I am really hopeful that Sensorium - our only runner at York this week - can follow what Silver Sword did at the meeting last year and win. It's a massive prize for this sales race but he's been flying at home…

Give It To Me Oj ran a very promising race first time in a handicap when a close 4th off an initial mark of 80 at Goodwood. Dropped 1lb for that, we have to be hopeful that the improvement he showed that day can be maintained. Big chance.

Veer showed he got the trip when 2nd last time at Southwell. He looks the main danger to the in-form favourite.

Rock Diva makes her debut. She's okay and as long as she can get in a nice position she would have a decent each-way chance.

Edvard Greig has been sent to me by mostly the same owners for whom he ran five times without success in Ireland. He starts on a mark in the high 60s and he'll probably find the in-form favourite tough to beat.

Saytarr is slowly getting his act together and has improved with every run. He's a big dopey horse but the penny is definitely dropping and I think he will be suited by Southwell.

Monomyth won well at Doncaster. He's up 5lb for that but I feel he had a little to spare that day and is improving. Hopeful.

Idyllic has been unlucky not to get her head in front this year. She likes the all-weather and is well-drawn. She effectively had a racecourse gallop at Lingfield last time out when they went no pace and she was poorly positioned.
