A hurdle winner in Ireland just over a year ago, Imperial Sachin's has been running over fences for Gordon Elliott with limited success this summer. We are adding a tongue-tie for this stable debut and returning him to hurdling in the hope that might bring an instant revival. Hopeful each-way.

Heresmax has even less pretensions of taking a hand in this than Burnage Boy. He has been off the track for a year having barely beaten a rival in four runs. His mark of 39 means he's 7lb wrong. From there it can only go one way but probably not today.

Carrigeen Kampala is by a proven jumps sire in Mahler and is out of a winning point mare. It is hard to understand why she made so little appeal at the sales last year - unsold at 4,500gns - but she shows promise and it would not be the biggest shock if she went very…

Montisfont is an Adaay half-sister to our useful filly Romsey who had her problems but ran to a decent level. We probably finished her from racing too soon. Montisfont has done nothing but improve physically but she still has plenty to learn and this in effect is her barrier trial. We ran another Adaay newcomer…

Eagle's Realm is handicapped on three modest runs in juvenile hurdles this time last year for Graeme and did better when transferred to us in staying handicaps on the flat. The respective handicap marks suggest he might have something in hand but he will need it to halt the favourite's impressive winning sequence over hurdles.

Two runners in  this handicap hurdle and after his bold effort when a 40/1 shot at Cartmel two weeks ago, Beyond The Clouds has to have his chance. It is perplexing that he carries the same 12st as he did there but the winner's prize is less than 7k against 21k in the Lakes. Strange,…

Jamacho had plenty of winning form around here but I think he needs a more galloping course nowadays and his latest win came at Worcester. On ability Beyond The Clouds ought to come out on top, but Jamacho is owned by Stratford Racecourse so it is understandable they would like him to run here.

Isaac Shelby was an impressive debut winner at Newbury and that form has been franked. He has progressed well since that debut and we are very hopeful he can stay unbeaten today.

Carnival Zain has gone up a few pounds in the ratings since his two wins in the spring and was beaten off the new mark the last twice. Becky is a big plus in these lady amateur flat races, but her task will not be made any easier by his wide draw. She will probably…

I don't really like running back horses quickly under a penalty but I was pretty much forced to do so in the case of Wagga Wagga. He's a big weak horse but after the way he won at Pontefract last week his 6lb extra compares favourably with his new 11lb higher mark. The track should…

Sophosc comes here after a short break following a first hurdles success. He stays much further than this and his inexperienced amateur rider will do well to get him involved.

Show Respect impressed at Goodwood and Leicester and didn't get the best of runs in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. As a result his price of 40/1 might be unflattering to this nice colt who could have a small each-way chance if things go his way this time.

Although last of four at Brighton, Our Noble Lord wasn't beaten far on his freappearance. This third run will tell us (and the handicapper) where we are with him.

There's a few to worry about here but Holkham Bay showed plenty of promise first time when second to a hot favourite over course and distance. He worked nicely on Saturday and we are very hopeful he can make the step up into the winner's spot today.

Sammylou was in something of a slump in his first few runs since transferring across from Graeme but we saw his better side when a good second over a longer trip at Fontwell last time. It will be interesting to see which of our pair comes out on top but either could win!

Nusa Dua has ability but she has been held back by being blind in her right eye and as a consequence lacks confidence. This is a better race than we might have expected at the level but she has an each-way chance prior to her visit to the sales on Friday.

Annual Review had a couple of third places last term and now dropping back in trip could go well after his winter/spring break. Each-way hopes.
