It's the first time out for Loving Look. I'll be surprised if she proves good enough to win a maiden and I expect she'll be green for this today.

Two runners in this and Law Supreme, who was running well with two 2nd places at the start of the year, returns after a break following a couple of lesser performances. His best run was at Southwell but he was a winner in France on turf two years ago, so a good run probably out-performing…

27/04/24 - 1st 6/1 Original quote: "Justus deserves to get a break sometime soon. He's been on the go for the whole winter and also by all accounts through last summer with Ian Williams. He's done us proud, winning and then running 2nd to Dysart Enos over hurdles, before outstaying the field in great style…

Royal Velvet is probably my best chance of the day. She won nicely 2nd time out over this trip at Wolverhampton and looks to be fairly weighted. She, too, is in the right race and we are very hopeful she can get the first win on her card.

Sageburg County ran well last time out and continues to go well at home. Conditions should suit and he should put in another good performance.

Wolf Prince won nicely last month at Taunton. He's been raised 7lb for that and while we hope he can make the necessary improvement, it could be a close affair.

I hate to say it, but Beggarman doesn't like winning. As we saw with American Gerry yesterday, horses can win when you least expect them to.

Serious Ego has given his owners some great fun and excitement this season and I hope the ground hasn't dried too much. He has a big weight and if it isn't wet one or two lower down the handicap might be more than a match for him.

Gwash was placed in a bumper but didn't run to expectations first time over hurdles. There's time for him to make an impact, starting, we hope, today.

This isn't much of a race, although it's fair to say that Irv is no longer too talented a horse. He does go well enough fresh, though, and today might be the time to catch him.

Dashinwhitesargent improved with his racing last year and has done well over the winter. I'm not sure if 7f rather than this long mile around here is his best trip, but we'll find out today.

Night On Earth is super-quick and it's a surprise to me to find he's only raced over 6f here. This extremely fast minimum shoud suit, and as usual it will be a case of him waiting for the cavalry as he enters the closing stages. Love him to win this.

Largy Force has been 2nd in all three starts this term and while that can sometimes suggest faint-heartedness, she has improved from race to race. Not beaten far last time at Chepstow, it couldn't have helped that she lost both front shoes on the way round. Deserves to get her head in front.

Garitsa Bay put up his best showing in his first handicap at Market Rasen, running on late into fourth place. This is a similar trip and he should be getting close to that first elusive win.

Deerstalker has always shown us ability at home, but we soon found out he wasn't suited by the prevailing soft/heavy ground this winter. We've held him back for the spring going and hopefully, that will pay a dividend today.

Queensland Boy was consistent last year. He made a satisfactory return after a break when 6th earlier this month and the normal improvement for an outing should bring him into contention.

We run two here including stable newcomer Giselle's Defence. His better form on the flat has generally been at Dondalk, whereas his turf mark is 6lb lower. Might have been let in reasonably. We'll find out. 

Le Grand Vert has been running okay but probably needed an extra help and hopefully, the blinkers will address that. Shouldn't be far away
