Angels Landing has been consistent and generally progressive through her five runs to date and her best effort came last time when a strong-finishing second at Ffos Las two months ago. I'm hopeful she will finish in the money again and at present odds looks a good value each-way bet.

In his two runs for the stable so far Norley has appeared not to stay a longer trip so we're bringing him back half a mile or so on a galloping track. On his best form for his previous trainer he would not be without a chance.

Desert Gulf is in good nick. He's well drawn today and this stiff six furlongs should suit him; in fact he ought to be strong at the finish as he got seven well enough at Newmarket. Big chance.

Visions Of Glory is in good order and should be happier at seven furlongs having not lasted out the mile last time. He has a nice draw - always important here -and looks an excellent each-way candidate.

Salamanca School ran well last time out and has been schooling very well over fences at home. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do here today.

I hope we aren't going to the well too often with Reelemin who would probably be favourite if this were at Kempton. It's competitive but he must have a decent chance.

Gentleman Valley is an interesting character. He's a bit of a hothead but as his first run in a bumper last season showed he has ability even though a couple of these have an experience edge on him.

When Maninsane fell last time it didn't look a bad one but he fractured ribs and puncured a lung and for a while we looked like losing him. He's come back good as new though, seems none the worse and must have each-way chances.

There are no secrets about Bearwith. He is what he is and on the balance of his form he has a chance but that wide draw is unhelpful. Each-way candidate.

We were hoping that there would be some overnight rain for Whitehaven as he likes it really soft but even if it hasn't come he still looks the one to beat. A little unlucky to be caught last time, his jockey will be fully motivated as he attempts to retain his title. I think Whitehaven…

No No Maestro has won his last two races with some authority. We can only be confident that he can maintain the progress and complete the hat-trick.

William Buick has been a great ally when we have been able to secure his services this year and it would be nice if Typical Woman would give him a winner in his quest to be champion jockey for the first time. Typical Woman ran a blinder when a 40/1 shot at Nottingham and could…

Glentaneous has been generally consistent although he didn't run so well on firmish ground at Doncaster. He's had a while to recover from that and with the ground and distance both fine looks to have a good each-way chance.

Jersey Lady made a winning start in a Ludlow bumper and ran a blinder next time when placed in a mares' Listed race at Cheltenham. She did not match that in her last two starts, but now, starting off in a three-horse hurdle, she has the form clearly to win it and her schooling has…

Rintulla won at Worcester but then unseated early last time. His schooling has been good since then and I am confident he will stay this trip. If he does he should go very close.

I've always thought a lot of Your Darling and was delighted when he won his last race in the spring. He has taken very well to fences - his schooling shows he is a natural jumper. He will improve for the run fitness-wise, but is well handicapped and hopefully I have done enough work with…

Lawful Command's form figures are unflattering but certainly the last twice he would have been much closer bar finding trouble in securing a run. Good each-way chances today.

Meadow Sprite has been improving steadily since we acquired her at the July Sales. She stayed on very well into third at Newcastle last time proving she stays the trip and we are very hopeful of her chance today.

Polish won a three-mile hurdle at Newbury in February in great style. He disappointed back on the Flat at York in May but was never travelling. Fresh from his summer break and on suitable ground we are hopeful of a better result.

Gumball is in fantastic form at home and we hope the change has freshened him up. We think he has an each-way chance on this stable debut.
