Stowaway Jess probably needed the run when 4th after a ten-month absence at Southwell last month. Fern takes off a value 7lb and they could be right in the picture at the business end.

All of Your Darling's wins have come after a longish break so six weeks might be stretching (or un-stretching) it, if you know what I mean, following his disappointing run at Aintree. He's off a career-high mark in a good race, so he needs to do something he hasn't previously. Chances if he's fresh enough.

Village Master is three for three over fences, winning more easily each time. The four-timer looks on the cards even with the 13lb hike for the latest victory at Stratford.

Shantwopointfive ran a promising first race over hurdles when 2nd at Fontwell last week. We think she will improve for the longer trip. Each-way hopes.

Dual Identity will have benefited from the return run at Eopsom last month. He runs Sandown particularly well, impressing here last August and we're expecting a big run tonight.

El Hibri was similarly busy to Beauzon early in the year, managing one win. Now, after a two-month break, he showed signs when 3rd over CD three weeks ago that another success might be imminent. Hopeful.

Premiere Ligne has not been easy to win with. He did run well first time back from a break when 3rd in a big field at Windsor, though, and is fit and well.

Atlantic Gamble has started slowly giving himself no chance in both his races this year. Kempton should suit him better and if Marco can get him away alertly from his nice draw in 4, he could have a small each-way shout.

Caprelo did well to win on season/handicap debut at Kempton. I'm not sure why, I'm not as bullish as I might have been, but he's only a few pounds higher and ought to have improved.

Railway Bell was caught on the line in her latest of two Irish point-to-points last November. She shapes nicely at home and we're hopeful she can go close today.

Beach Point ran a very good 2nd at Bath last time. It was soft there that day but quicker ground should not bother him and he can go very close. Big chance.

Whathappensinvegas spent time in Dubai but is now back with us, up in trip from his stable comeback run. Each-way shout.

Invincible Song is a very nice filly making her debut. I think she can go close.

Monkey Island has his issues but he is going very well in his work. The form of his first race at Ascot of two last year has worked out well - he wasn't far behind Ten Bob Tony - and I think he's worth an each-way bet.

Piecederesistance goes well fresh and has a lovely inside draw. He's in much better form this time around than when 6th in this race a year ago and I'm very optimistic of a big run.

Dancing In Paris ran a blinder over 1m2f at Lingfield on Saturday, just failing to get up. This 1m4f might stretch him, but if he does get home, he has to be a contender.
