Aslukgoes is well enough bred to do the job. He has been pleasing us but will probably improve for this first run.

Present Storm ran a couple of nice races in the money around Worcester last season and now, after two less impressive performances over fences, she reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark. I was hoping this race would split but at the last moment they divided the bumper making this a tougher proposition. Just the…

If Who's The Guv'Nor turns up in the same form as here two weeks ago when Brian Hughes gave him an exemplary ride, he would surely go in again. Still bottom weight despite his 8lb rise for last time, he is meeting better-class rivals who are mostly out of form. Big chance.

Getaway Jewel disappointed last time and has had his issues with temporary lameness in his races. He is closely matched with Arbennig on their run together at Fakenham and on a going day he would be a major contender in this ordinary contest.

Mac Suibhne  might have a tricky name but this private buy from Ireland after his improved second in a point there could be one to remember. He goes well, certainly better than his early hurdles form would suggest, and we are hopeful of a run in the money on this stable debut.

Your Love Is King always runs well at Nottingham as he did a month ago when runner-up on only his second start for the stable. He has a tempting light weight and a highly-capable rider in this amateurs' event so looks the one to beat.

Thunder Flash stepped up with a solid win last time and has been raised only 1lb by the handicapper. He goes there in the same good form and it's now a five-horse affair with two non-runners. As usual at this time of year it could be down to how much untapped potential there is with…

I couldn't be happier with Checkandchallenge. He took a while to get over the 2,000 Guineas where he got a few bumps and bruises after getting his run stopped when Native Trail closed him down. I'm glad I gave him an extra couple of weeks by missing Ascot and thought this race would be on…

Bunker Bay will want further in time but because he was so free at Salisbury I didn't want to go more than a mile for this first handicap. He will be doing his best work at the finish and goes nicely at home. Not the worst each-way bet

Alice Stevens won the Queen Mother's Cup for the stable on Zealandia early this month and now on only her second ride for us this year has a chance  to collect the Ladies Derby over the full Classic course. Liberated Lad has dropped to a nice mark after an unsuccessful spell, but he has been…

Golden Taipan won easily in a small field around here over 2m4f last time. He has been gradually going up in trip and this will be his first attempt at three miles. If he stays he will be hard to beat.

On Springs won nicely at Ffos Las before proving unable to peg back a mare receiving 31lb in a small field around Fontwell. He kept going for second, though, and this looks another decent opportunity. Every chance.

Byzantine Empire is in good form and will hopefully take to fences on this debut. We expect a solid run but the favourite has experience winning two out of two chases and looks hard to beat.

Leopolds Rock won well at Uttoxeter yesterday but a 7lb penalty and such a quick turn-around would not normally be on my agenda. Even if he runs, She's A Rocca would have a chance as last time she lost a shoe as early as the second flight and that is never a help. She is…

Sparkle In His Eye ran a far better race when sixth here on his return after a break than the bare result suggests. Aidan who combined with him for three wins at Wolverhampton before his holiday, still claims that useful 7lb and it is often considered that Musselburgh's turf track is the nearest to an…

Festive Glory has had two bumper runs for experience and is now ready to begin his hurdling career. He has schooled nicely and a good run is anticipated.

Beyond The Clouds has been running generally in much smaller fields and has a tough weight in a decent race. He's in good form and has a small each-way chance.
