Square Viviani is not the quickest and he can miss out the odd fence so he can take his time to get back in contention. If it rains before racing, the ground will come in his favour and if he can avoid the jumping errors he would have decent each-way chances.

Castle Robin is a really nice young horse whose experience in Irish points is a positive. I'm less sure about his going 1m6f but he should run a good race.

Highway Girl's form in a competitive mares' race at Warwick is working out well. This is her first handicap and she's up in trip which should help. We're hoping for a decent run.

Martha Brae won nicely last time out and seems to be thriving at home. The track today will suit her and I can see her putting in another strong performance.

Mon Palois has had a difficult time recently and has never shown the same level of form since his fall at Wetherby last season. We are still trying to get him back on track and stepping back to two miles might help, especially with very soft ground. Place chances.

Don't be surprised if Your Darling lives up to his name. He goes very well, but in this ground, who knows?

Tyrsal has a mind of his own. He needs to get the start right and even then it's whether he's in the mood or not. Ask him!
