Vinndication has missed most of the season so comes here very fresh and well. He has never won going left-handed so let's hope he can put that monkey to bed here!
The Cob ran very well when second to a decent type on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter. He is in good form and it will take a good performance to beat him today.
Young Bull has done us proud winning his last three-in-a-row. He takes another step up in trip today but we are more than hopeful that he can continue the successful sequence.
Better Getalong has run two okay races this time and he's in good order. He probably wants further nowadays but I thought this race would cut up and he'll have his chance.
Rosmuc Relay was hugely disappointing at Uttoxeter but that was at a time when my horses were not right. I hope that was the sole reason as if he is back to his best, he should go close on his hurdle form.
Marown is a grand horse who in time will make a nice chaser. He's done nothing wrong so far and I hope he'll do nothing wrong today either. Would be disappointed if he was beaten.
Top Billing is a bit of a lad. If he's in the mood today he's got the talent to win this but if you want to be sensible, you might be better off going to the bar rather than bet on him.
The Pine Martin still retains all his former ability and saw his race out well last time at Newcastle. He is in good form at home and a big run is expected.
This bumper has cut up but there's a couple with bits of form. We like our lad and hope he'll handle the ground and the occasion. If he does he should run a good race.
Renardeau has very good course and distance form and we are reuniting him with Tom Marquand who gets on so well with him. Fingers crossed - he has a favourite's chance and we're very hopeful.
