We have a high regard for The Jukebox Man who had the best hurdles form of these last season including an unlucky close 2nd at the Cheltenham Festival. We are hopeful he will take high ank as a chaser, starting here.

Zhang Fei has had a good summer/autumn and for a long time at Stratford looked like gaining another win with his customary front-running style. This track could suit him and Fern, who takes 7lb off, knows him well.

Herakles Westwood was very progressive last winter, winning three times and ending up with a fine 3rd in a big field at Ayr's Scottish Grand National meeting. We are hopeful he will be ready for today.

King Of The Road should have improved for his comeback run. He can run well but it looks a decent race with some in-form opposition.

It's a first run for us for Beat The Edge, He had plenty of decent form for previous connections to suggest his lower chase mark should be manageable. Hoping for a good start.

Keep Running did well last season but ran disappointingly on his seasonal return last month. We hope he can do much better today.

This will be all about whether Faerie Cutlass can handle the rain-softened ground. She would every chance if she did.

Lilting Verse has been crying out for three miles. Off the back of a solid chasing start over shorter, she should go very close. We are hopeful she can win this.

We have been looking forward for ages to this run from Trelawne. He needs to start off in a small field to gain confidence after his fall at Cheltenham and this fits the bill. The trip is probably on the short side but he should run well, although Iroko seems thrown in at the weights.

Ryan's Rocket won at Kempton in May but found the Grade 2 opposition here on comeback a bit rich at this stage of his development. This easier company should be more to his liking.

Molto Bene cannot have the ground too soft and I hope by the time of her race it will have become chewed up. She was in good form before her break and I think she's well handicapped.

Law Of Supply won well at Worcester but the handicapper has taken no chances by throwing 11lb at him. He is an honest horse who will be thereabouts. Should run well.

Typical Woman won a couple in the summer but is higher in the handicap now and could do with a little help from the official.

Swindon Village was a good 2nd on his only start so far over the Punchestown point-to-point course in April. He's a very nice young horse and I think he'll like the ground. I'm hoping he will go well.

Jig's Forge had three runs in Irish points for Ross O'Sullivan, winning easily on his final start. He brings plenty of experience to his first run for the stable and I'm hopeful he can make an immediate impact at this level.

Sound And Fury returns after a year off. He won his handicap hurdle over 2m4f off 113 and starts chasing only 4lb higher. He jumps well and hopefully, will enjoy this testing three-mile trip.

Beauzon won and was then 3rd in two races over the CD over the past week. He should have every chance running off 5lb less than last time.

Sign Again won his point but was very green first time out in his bumper. It's a small field and he must have a lead. If he does he could run okay.
