Republican ran on to be a remote third last time. There might be more to come but this is his third race and it might get easier after today.

Perfect Candidate won well over course and distance last time. He's in brilliant form at home and has a great chance of following up.

Ask A Honey Bee made a great start for the stable, winning nicely at Southwell. Our claiming amateur's allowance offsets the 7lb penalty and he looks to have a great each-way shout.

Fosters’Island comes from a good family of stayers. He is showing up nicely at home but this race looks rather warm. Being by Turtle Island he will enjoy the ground.

I was delighted with Snow Leopardess on her comeback at Newbury as she'd taken the chance to have a foal since her previous outing 26 months earlier. She retains all her enthusiasm and is sure to improve a great deal for Newbury. Each-way chances.

Yauthym, a daughter of Authorized, had plenty of experience on the level in France where she was placed six times in 11 starts. She has shown up well on the gallops and jumps nicely so she could well be in the shake-up.

In retrospect One Touch ran a much better race than the form might suggest in fourth at Southwell when the horses were out of form. I'm expecting a bold show today and rate him a good each-way prospect.

Bob Mahler put up easily his best performance since his spring exploits when third at Haydock. We expect further progress in what looks a winnable race.

Late Date ran well here when third in October but was disappointing last time at Sedgefield. However his ratio of wins to runs over fences - three from nine -  is good. This is competitive, but with a top amateur on board he should have an excellent chance.

Drewmain Legend is in form and running consistently. She won nicely at Leicester and will cope with the ground and the track. The one worry is it's a big step up in class but we expect her to run well.

Shakem Up'Arry would probably have won last time at Leicester but he fell three out when in the lead. This is a much deeper race but our horses are in better fettle than they were then. He'll enjoy the ground and is sure to go well.

It's been a long time since Enchancia's only run in a point-to-point 19 months ago. We will have to see how he goes today but he does have a future.

Speedy Cargo made a disappointing start over fences at Fakenham but that track isn't for every horse. On his earlier hurdles form we know he has plenty of ability and he should make a better fist of it today.

We had an awful day yesterday when Supamouse, who won his bumper so impressively at Wincanton, suddenly collapsed and died when the bids were already raining in. Hopefully Kipps will win this as he was so promising on debut but as we just found out, you can never take anything for granted with horses.

Peter's Portrait has some fair form and ought to get this extended trip but there are some in-form horses who definitely do stay well. Small each-way chances.

Emraan is a three-year-old gelding by Invincible Spirit that we picked up cheaply at the sales. He's bred to be decent so we'll see how he goes on this belated debut today.

Brummie Boys ran perfectly well first time over hurdles when fourth at Hereford. He weakened in the soft ground in the closing stages that day so I’ve dropped him back in trip today. He's a shell of a horse and still growing, so very much a longer-term prospect. While getting some experience into him this…

Global Fame is a gorgeous big horse who won his bumper on the bridle. He's an exciting recruit to hurdling and he should give a good account today. Jumps well and handles the ground so may be good enough to win on debut.

Global Citizen had a great season last time and needed his comeback run at Carlisle. We're putting on a tongue-tie and are expecting a much more competitive run.

Rouge Vif has had a little tweaking to his wind since his last run and we've also taken off the hood today. He ran a cracker here last year in a novice hurdle and the track suits him well. He has been in good form at home and will be ridden positively so hopefully will…
