Cool To Be A Cat has been a very disappointed horse but I remain convinced that a race of this nature will fall his way one day. He takes a big step up in trip today and hopefully that  will make a difference.

Kalimotxo finally showed something like her home form over this course and distance last time. Starting from stall one, where she is placed again tonight, she came from some way back and stayed on into fifth at the finish. Franny Norton will be keen to get her in a better early position and, dropped 4lb…

Obviously there was lots of notebook interest in Abel Tasman after his latest effort, staying on from well behind after missing the break badly again. The step  up in trip should help in that regard and so would a better exit, but he looks an awfully short price to me.      

Saint Dalino won over today's trip in heavy at Ffos Las on her last run last season and I expect her to need three miles in future. Leicester is a stiff track so she might get away with it and we're hopeful of a decent run.

Avoid De Master is in good form. He ran very well on his first run for the stable when a closing third at Exeter and showed there he would be better over further. This race should suit him ideally and we're really confident he can gain a first win under Rules. 

Big Difference is in good order and I expect him to go well. Today's conditions should be suitable and I'm looking forward to the run today.

Chez Castel Mail is a very nice horse and has lots of ability but has been plagued with injury. We thought he was probably the best horse we've trained but nothing went right last season when he came back after almost two years  off. He's returning to action in good form but having fallen on…

Agent Valdez has always looked likely to be a better chaser than hurdler and we're quite hopeful about this debut over fences. She had a nice spin round on seasonal return at Exeter and jumps well. She has a good each-way chance today. 

Chazza won nicely last time out at Bangor, possibly well enough to suggest he might be fairly handicapped. We'll find out today if he is.

Grandeur D'Ame is a full-brother to Dominator and we were delighted when he was able to make light of his inexperience to win on debut at Newton Abbot. This Listed bumper represents a much tough task but with the ground becoming testing he could well come into the argument. His brother stays well and I'm…

Commit No Nuisance was one of our fancied trio all denied a run at Kempton last week when the fog descended on Sunbury-on-Thames, He'd been doing enough to convince me he would go well there and that remains the position for this first run for about a year.

Jersey Lady made a winning start in a bumper at Ludlow. She was briefly tapped for toe going into the home straight that day but stayed on strongly to be well on top at the finish. This Listed race represents a big step up in class but she should not be troubled  by the stiffer…

Whatsupwithyou ran a blinder on comeback around here at the last meeting staying on into a close seventh in a big field. Luca rides again and we'll keep it simple. Sure to run a big race.

Torigni won his latest race in France but that was more than a year ago. He's been schooling very well in advance of this stable debut and we're very excited to have our first runner in the famous double-green colours. We can't be sure about his handicap mark so we'll learn a lot today.

Carrolls Milan is a dour and very genuine stayer over hurdles and looks the ideal type for fences. She jumps fences well and looks sure to go close on today's debut.

Just Your Type is in good form at home and made a promising start to the season when fifth on his recent return at Carlisle. He stays all day and should be there or thereabouts at the finish.
