Regal Envoy has a great chance. He beat Toca Madera over 5f at Newmarket and then was worried out of it over 6f here a week ago. Back to his best trip and with Oisin again in the saddle, he should be bang there once more.

Queensland Boy has been out of form on the flat and a first try over hurdles proved disappointing. He's back after three months off and needs to step up his game to make the frame.

Tactical Affair ran a brilliant race in defeat last time and a similar performance here should see him go close again. It would be great to see him get his head in front.

Campaign Trail is back on the flat after a slightly disappointing spring over hurdles. I have no idea if he is well handicapped although I would have thought not. Who knows, but hopefully place chances!

Over the past year, Be Frank has dropped 15lb in the handicap. His best run for us came here with a close 4th in September, but he has performed less well since. Back from a break, he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Third Time Lucki has been coming down the ratings with a rush over the past season. It's hard to know when he will resume in anything like his old form, but a mark of 124 gives us hope of a revival.

Like all of our returnees this season, Royal Velvet was just a little short at Yarmouth but still was beaten barely a length into 4th. She has come on for that and a place should be within her compass.

Toca Madera ran a blinder first time back at Newmarket but then things didn't work out at Goodwood where he got stuck behind the leaders on the rail. He has been in great order since Goodwood and likes these big-field handicaps. I'm expecting a big run at a value price.

Delpotro's form has been gradually getting better in his races since arriving with us in the autumn. This looks a good opportunity to add to his two chase wins in France.

Celestial Reign wasn't beaten far last time having been brought down when looking the possible winner first time for us. We're putting on cheek-pieces which he wore a couple of times for Joseph O'Brien in the hope they keep his attention. Decent chance.

I hope Windsor avoids the possible thunderstorms. Regal Envoy has a good draw, he's in excellent nick and Oisin rides. The perfect recipe - as long as the rain stays away.

Brise Noir looked very promising when 3rd behind a good horse on debut at Deauville last summer. He was less impressive behind smart Mount Kilimanjaro in a return trip to France at Longchamp in the autumn. He's been working well and looks to have a big chance in this restricted novice contest.

Casting Aspersions won at the 2nd time of asking when edging out a runner for the Gary/Josh Moore team at Huntingdon. He should have no problem stretching out to 3m here and is the one to beat.

Until a slight deterioration last time, Zucayan had been running into places when his races had already been decided. If Nick can get him in touch earlier this time, he could emulate an earlier CD success.

Oslo has been out of form so far this season. He needs a revival but whether even his best would trouble five-timer seeker It's Tim would be doubtful.
