Quoteline Direct has not won for ages but he put in a decent run first time back after a break at Newcastle four days ago. It's a quick turn around into another 0-50 classified which if anything is even less competitive than last time. Rab Havlin is a good booking and he can go close…

Reset Button's recent form speaks for itself, one win and three close second places. Despite that he remains at the right end of this moderate field. With a good chance of a decent pace and David Probert in the saddle he should go very close once more.

Sparkle In His Eye has dropped to his lowest mark and runs off 52 in a 0-52. His draw in one might not be easy for his young rider who has only a single previous ride on the track. If he can get him out and in a good position Sparkle In His Eye must…

This has been the race we have targeted for Two For Gold since his win at Doncaster. With huge prize money on offer it has attracted a very good field. We go there with place chances.

Our Jester seems to be in good order and his Ascot win was very good. His sister Urban Artist ran moderately on her only run around here where there is always the potential for trouble in running. That said, it's a very big prize for a bumper and as a result very competitive. Had it…

We are trying blinkers on Le Breuil today after two disappointing runs that probably weren't entirely his fault. Fontwell was much too sharp while he clearly didn't enjoy the awful weather at Aintree. On last season's (and earlier) form he has a chance and the Ascot track should suit. Expecting a better showing.

I put Global Citizen in this race on Monday when it looked a relatively weak entry. He won it three years ago beating the late-lamented Silver Streak three lengths. I liked him for a place at Ascot last time but he went off far too fast in front and paid the penalty. He had a…

Tribal Commander has been performing poorly but as a result has come down to a fair mark. He should be more competitive this evening.

Karl Philippe has ability but has not been finishing off his chases as well as he did when hurdling last season. At his best he would have an each-way chance.

Henschke was unfortunate to fall last time after a couple of bold efforts. He seems none the worse for the experience and is capable of a big run here.

Eagle's Realm has been running consistently on all-weather this winter. This looks very competitive but if he can avoid trouble in this biggish field he can also hold a solid each-way chance.

Fine Casting won his bumper around here last season and has improved from race to race since going over hurdles. He landed the odds nicely at Ffos Las and can go on to make a winning start in handicaps today.

The betting suggests this is a two-horse race between Miss Fairfax and Eureka Creek and it could come down to which of the pair is the fitter. Yesterday Miss Fairfax's work rider suggested: "She needs one more". I hope he's wrong!

Ajay's Ways jumps a fence really well and he should enjoy the quirky track and the trip. He should run a good race today when hopefully he can overcome his lack of experience.

Soft Risk is a grand horse who has done nothing wrong so far. I hope all goes well with hm but on everything we know he should take all the beating.

I've always liked Kissininthebackrow and was not at all surprised when she ran a good second as a 66/1 chance at Kempton. She can progress again and hopefully gain a first success.

Cherokee Dance has been running consistently and looks fairly handicapped. From the foot of this handicap she could be hard to beat.

Punctuation was a decent performer on the flat but has never matched that over hurdles. He joins us off what looks a very fair mark and could be a major contender in a wide-open handicap.

Cornerstone Lad might prefer the ground to be a little wetter but now he has some chase experience behind him I think he's where he needs to be - a 140-rated Saturday horse rather than a 155 where he started after his Fighting Fifth hurdling exploits. Big chance today.
