I thought Timeform were unfairly disparaging about Twig, questioning his head carriage when second on his comeback run the other day. Considering his time off and high enough starting point in handicaps on the basis of two hunter chase wins, it was a satisfactory start and if he did hang it was understandable that he…

Gerard Mentor is neither the easiest or most straightforward of rides but he has won for a claimer this season. Kai Lenihan tries his hand now and with a good run, he could be placed.

It's hard to know whether Getthepot would have won last time had he stood up, but he was still ahead when coming down at the 12th fence at Worcester. Previously he was runner-up conceding 23lb to a winner who has won again since while the third home has won her last two. He's in a…

Gatwick Kitten will enjoy the cut in the ground and while I'm not sure Brighton is an ideal track for him, he did win there earlier in the year, coming from a long way back. It's a slightly higher grade, but he should run his race and be competitive. Value each-way.

We've not had Arab Cinder very long but she has been doing okay and I think she is now in better shape than last time at Kempton. She has a bit to find with the favourite on that form but she is better off at the revised weights and would have been nearer bar suffering…

Somekindofstar is new to us and we're still learning about him. On form he has to be there with a chance and he's giving out the right signals at home.

Call Me Tara had Girlofmydreams behind her when winning on hurdles debut at Worcester but on 7lb worse terms was two lengths behind her at Fontwell. Now both mares are penalised and off level weights we hope Call Me Tara can prove her superiority. 

Ajp Kingdon had a couple of runs (second and fifth) in Irish points before joining us. He shapes okay and we will find out much more about him here.

Kajaki ran no sort of race at Perth and all I can think of is that he and his young rider didn't gell on the day. He is a funny horse anyway but he has won around Sedgefield - you know it's not my favourite - and this is a prize worth winning. He's definitely…

Onenightintown jumps fences well enough and seems to go best for Becky. Stepping back up to the trip over which he has won before, this small field should be to his liking. He gets lumps of weight from three of these, so a win would not be unexpected.

Alnitak disappointed in his bumper a year ago but has been given a long break in preparation for going hurdling. A very likeable horse who should go close.

Right Destination has been very disappointing on the whole but this is an extremely low level. If the first-time blinkers help he might have a chance to break his duck at the 25th attempt.

A winner over a mile at Lingfield, Alwajd spoilt her chance of a follow-up with a slow start at Wolverhampton. I think she'll stay the 1m2f in which case she would have a favourite's chance.

Buxted Reel belatedly gained a first victory at Wolverhampton two runs back but did not really build on that at Kempton. At this level he will always be a contender and this is another decent opportunity for this fairly handicapped horse.
