Templepark only has to repeat the style of his recent effort over course and distance to win again. We expect him to make the running and it will be difficult for any of these to run him close.

Cheltenham De Vaige has run poorly in his two most recent races but we know he is capable of better. This is not the strongest race so a place may not be beyond him.

Doubly Clever won impressively on his first hurdle start for us the other day and I thought the 7lb rise was fair. A repeat performance would make him hard to beat.

Requited didn't show much on his first post-lock-down run and had been out of form in the winter. He might run better today but he still looks high enough in the handicap.

Bravo Buddy won his only start in a point-to-point Flat race so obviously has ability. He receives a useful weight advantage from Ultimate Getaway and we are looking forward to a good performance today.

It appears that Ultimate Getaway has only one horse to beat and is in great form after two recent wins. The penalty is a possible worry but he will make the running again and will be hard to pass.

Ravens Ark has been pleasing me lately but I find it hard to see how he deserves a 65 rating. We have to take it though and I still think he could go well here.

Aroha was all at sea at Catterick where she also had problems getting a run. Her form last year entitles her to the utmost respect and while the top two in the market are highly regarded, they will not find it easy giving her so much weight. Great chance.

We were delighted when With Respect made a winning debut in a 20-runner maiden at Newbury last summer. We've been waiting for some soft ground for him but it hasn't materialised so we've had to look to the all-weather. It will be hard to give weight to The Perfect Crown if he's back in shape,…

Rebel Leader is a point winner who showed some promise in novice hurdles for us last season. He is bred for this job and hopefully can show his potential from what looks a fair opening handicap mark.

Condarcia joined us from Jessica Harrington and apart from one second place at Sedgefield off today's mark you would have to say she was generally disappointing. She has something to prove, but it's a fresh season and we know there's ability in there somewhere.

Spanish Kiss has taken time to come to himself but he is getting there. He might be best watched today.

Pearl Beach has been knocking on the door. She went close at Windsor last time and I think she'll be fine on all-weather. I prefer her chance to our  other runner Selsey Sizzler.

Embrace The Moment found a mile and a half around Chepstow too far last time. Reverting to her previous winning distance and on fast ground she has a much more realistic chance.

Image Of The Moon has been running well, but I'd be wary of risking her on fast ground. I'll have a good look at the track this morning and if it's too firm she probably won't run.

Tribal Commander ran disappointingly on his return over this course and distance last month after a longish break. We are looking for an improved display over a course where he has shown good form in the past.

We took Mojandil for a barrier trial the other day and he showed plenty of promise. Our two-year-olds often improve for a run, but he could have each-way hopes at a decent price.

One Small Step has always shown plenty on the gallops but I admit I was unprepared for her near-miss on debut at Newmarket. She was right in there with some well-connected fillies, and I'm not worried about dropping her down a furlong as she has plenty of speed. Obvious chance of stepping up.

Aroha collected plenty of black type without managing a win in high-class races last year. With her 98 rating I've been looking at a couple of handicaps but it seemed the sensible thing to try to get a win in a small race. This looks ideal and it will be a severe disappointment if she…

Tel'Art came back to something more like his bumper form around here last time, having lost his way last season over hurdles. He won with some authority and there's no reason why he shouldn't cope with the 8lb rise.
