Ballyhome loves it around here. He was quite impressive making his return over fences but has had his hurdles rating increased too. Even so he still has a big chance on his favourite track.

Lough Har has yet to win a race, but ran well at Doncaster last season. He faded late on at Stratford on his return and while he lost a shoe, he did look a weak finisher that day. Plenty to prove.

This is a quick turnaround for Arthur's Sixpence after his last run and win at Uttoxeter. This did look a weakish race and we felt we ought to take our chance. If there has been no bounce-back he must go close.

Mick disappointed last time on the Flat when the experiment of making the running didn't really work. He has shaped nicely when schooling over jumps and we are hopeful that might be his future.

Urban Artist is all about stamina so you would hardly think she's the type to go whizzing around Windsor. With the ground softening all the time, though, she will probably be pegging them back up the straight.

Top Billing knows more about racing than any of us. On a going day he'll probably win but he's a bit of a lad. He seems well and looks great, so the rest is up to him!

We got Walhaan from France. Based on what he has achieved so far he is plenty high enough in the handicap.

Canford Thompson has been impressing in his home work and goes well for today’s jockey. Any more rain would be against him but he has an each-way chance.

Ejtilaab is talented but awkward. If he can overcome his aversion to the stalls he might show some of that talent in this wide-open handicap.

We gave Doubly Clever a couple of spins on the all-weather when racing resumed after the lockdown and he did pretty well when second at Kempton. This is the day job, though, and despite top-weight, we expect him to run a good race under a talented 7lb claimer who knows him well.

Templepark ran very well on seasonal debut on this track, only being denied by a rival's flying finish in a handicap chase. This novice hurdle is a much easier opportunity and he should win today

Solar Impulse is high enough in the handicap but conditions will be to his liking and his rider takes off a valuable 5lb. Hopeful of a decent run on his comeback.

I had a few possible races for Western Miller's return to action but this seemed the least demanding. That said, there will be some competition for the lead but when he gets into his stride at the front he can be a very hard horse to pass. Fit and well, he's ready for a big…

I'll be having a check on the ground first, but if he does run, I'll expect him to go very close. Oisin said after the last time that he should have made it more of a test and Ryan will have that in his mind. It is slightly further and if any horse deserves to…

Alpine Mistral won quite impressively at Leicester. She has been raised 9lb by the handicapper, so it was sensible to try to find a race before that kicked in. First we needed to check if she'd recovered from that race and she seemed fine, so she must have every chance here with only a 6lb…

Amplify has had a few niggles which we think we've  ironed out. He's been a bit unlucky a couple of times lately but likes the course and could well get back to winning form.

We tried Silver Nemo over seven furlongs and that was too far. He'd probably prefer more cut in the ground and still needs more racing experience.

Courtandbould is in good form at home and has been going well. Hopefully he will run another solid race and has each-way claims.

Beyond The Clouds had a tremendous time over hurdles with Kevin Ryan and then won a novice on the Flat for him last summer. He's shown himself to be a nice horse since joining us and might be over-priced. He may eventually need further and could be an even better chaser in time, but I…

This is a tough race in which Teqani starts his handicap career against horses with whom he had form with last season. He's in great form and going well after his wind-op, so should go close.
