Global Tour seems to be in great form and should run another solid race. Or it could be that he's coming to the end of a long season and needs a break. A risky bet but hopeful each-way.

First time over hurdles for this horse today who ran well in a competitive bumper on debut last year. We are hoping for a safe round of jumping to start him on his hurdling career.

Sammy Bill has always worked seriously well but  has been too keen on the racecourse. He is an enigma, and I’m still not sure of his trip or how to ride him. He's an enormous horse with a huge stride and he’s a free-going type. The question is whether to let him bowl or hold…

Amberose, a very consistent mare, is a winner around Carlisle. We're hoping for a good run as she's in form and she could easily get into the first three.

Totterdown won the corresponding race a year ago when with Richard Phillips. This will be his debut for us but he has been in good form and apparently loving life. He must have soft to heavy ground. He's got it!

Young Bull has come out of his hurdles debut in really good form and we feel the softer ground and galloping track will suit him better. This looks a good opportunity for him and we have always said that whatever he does over hurdles will be a bonus as he is a proper staying chasing…

A tricky three-horse race and while Newtide makes his first appearance over fences, he was comfortably the best of the trio over hurdles. Very hopeful of a winning chase debut.

Heavy ground and an uphill finish are ideal for Lord of the Island who has been in flying form at home. He stays further than this and I would be shocked if he wasn't in the first three.

Bernadelli is well into the veteran stage and comes here after a year when he made it to the track only once. There was never anything wrong with him, just that he needs soft to heavy ground and that was in short supply. Conditions are to his liking now and from a decent handicap mark…

Uncle Jonty won his first point-to-point handily enough but then encountered a little problem. He does have ability but this is his first day back and if he runs a nice race I'll be happy. Then how he is tomorrow morning will be the main thing.

Broughtons Rhythm is such a consistent horse it seems astonishing that he remains a maiden over fences as a 10-year-old. He's been second so often that his honesty is questioned but while he does try, sadly he always seems to find one horse better than him. He's a very sound jumper and he loves this…

It will depend on whether No Trumps has recovered sufficiently from last week's exertions when she won so well at Wetherby. She runs off the same mark (up 8lb from tomorrow) and she seems very well so it's worth taking the gamble.

Paseo has run with credit on both of his appearances over hurdles. There is still a ton of improvement in him. His jumping was much slicker last time at Kempton and he has continued to school well at home. As a three-year-old he is well treated in the weights.

Square Viviani ran better than his finishing position here last month would indicate. He is on a good mark for a horse of his ability. On ground that will suit, if everything falls right for him, he can be involved in the finish.

This huge horse had a good run at Ludlow last season when he was beaten a long way while showing promise. This is a better race but he is stronger now and should be placed.

Black Kettle ran well here last time and is entitled to have come on for that first run of the season. Trip, track and ground will be no problem so a big run is expected.

Young Lieutenant is a nice bumper horse from last year. He has schooled well at home and although he will appreciate further in time, he should be able to show himself well today.

Pride of Lecale should win this. He's been in great form, is well handicapped and this is his ground.

Crossgalesfamegame stayed on well last time and the extra distance will help. She is available at a decent price and I think she could easily make the frame.
