Jarveys Plate is in great heart and has been running well back over hurdles although he wasn't given a chance when hampered last time. Weight might beat him with the favourite receiving 23lb but he should run another solid race.  

Talk about over-reaction! Five non-runners in a 25 grand race at Epsom because of good to soft ground which by race time is likely to be good. Ejtilaab has been running well and while six furlongs is on the short side he is sure to be pegging them back in the closing stages.

Mokaatil has won over the course and run respectably in this race in the past. He has a good draw and will enjoy any cut that remains in the ground by race time, but then Epsom drains very quickly. Small each-way chance at a big price.

Onenightintown has dropped to such a low rating that even in this modest contest he is 7lb out of the weights. We had been hopeful he would win a race some time in the future but unless the visors bring about a transformation it is unlikely to be today.

High Noon put in a very polished display over the fences here last time, delighting his owner who lives locally. If he can get into the same rhythm I expect him to follow up.

Raddle And Hum ran a promising race first time back from a wind operation at Fakenham and will hopefully build on that today. she has always been quite talented and this could be the lead in to a successful summer.

Contrary to our initial expectations Billy The Squid has ended up as quite a consistent hurdler. He should go well again and looks a good each-way prospect.

The horse Ernesto beat last time won well at Fakenham so the form looks solid enough. His mark is fair and as he has plenty of back class we have to be hopeful he can follow up.

We are very hopeful of a big run from Merry Berry but the handicapper may have cost her the chance of a win. Going up 8lb for being beaten last time seems extremely unfair.

Dynali ran well last time. It looked then as though a step up in trip would help him, so he is not without a chance today.

Just A Sip has really come into herself over recent months and we are very much looking forward to this debut over fences. She schools well and has to hold a big chance.

Starlyte was a promising staying-on third on debut at Huntingdon and will know more about it today. Unfortunately, the favourite gets in here with only a single penalty under this race's conditions for two easy wins. Starlyte will need to up her game to beat her.

Enfin Phil doesn't get his head in front very often but ran much better at Kelso where he looked like winning two furlongs out. We're dropping him back in trip today and he's in great form so we think he has a chance in a competitive race. He'll be going for his summer break after…

Valentino Dancer disappointed on stable debut. He will need to be well up to the best of his earlier form to make an impact in this competitive handicap.

Sir Benedict put in a much better showing last time at Chester despite a difficult wide draw. Down 2lb and this time drawn not far out from the favoured stands rail, he could go close at a nice price.

Three runners today at Cartmel, all at around 14-1 which reflects their chance. Justforjames is coming down the weights and it will hopefully get to the point where the handicapper gives him a chance. If he can get into a rhythm with his jumping today he could sneak a place.

I'm slightly surprised to see Quickthorn is favourite for while we think he's a nice horse he's had his issues. I hope he'll run well but the worry is he might be found out for fitness first time back on this ground.

As  High Say won nicely on stable debut, putting her varied experience in Ireland to good use. A nice game filly we are hopeful she can cope with a 7lb higher mark.

Byzantine Empire is very consistent and he has taken well to jumping. He looks the one to beat especially as he is getting weight from the other geldings.

Coole Well looks as though his break and a wind-op might have rejuvenated him. We are hopeful he can make a winning start for our stable in this small field.
